SUMMARY:Street Captains Safe Streets Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Strengthening Our Community\nAs we move forward with enhancing safety and connection across Melville\, we would like to invite you to our upcoming Street Captain Meeting. \nThis session is a vital opportunity for us to align on our next steps and share the latest progress. We will be specifically work-shopping the current proposal\, addressing the objections that have been raised\, and discussing what these mean for our collective strategy. \n  \n📅 Date: 11th April 2026 \n🕒 Time: 09:30am – 12:00pm \n📍 Location: 34\, 4th Avenue\, Melville  \n\nOur Street Captains are the backbone of this initiative. Your “on-the-ground” insights allow us to respond faster and coordinate more effectively as we move into this next phase. \nPlease find the agenda for our upcoming session below: \n1. Project Milestone & Timeline Update\n\nThe Journey So Far: A brief history of the project over the last 6 years.\nThe Roadmap Ahead: Timeline projections for implementation and beyond.\n\n2.
