Recent Actions on Behalf of the NeighborhoodThe Sumner Citizens Association joined a coalition of neighborhood associations to oppose the proposed state-wide changes to zoning, which would allow multi-unit buildings to be built in current areas that are single family housing only. The proposed changes to zoning rules in our state were widely opposed.We have also been working with the county over the past few years on reviewing the health of trees growing on county right of way and trimming/removing dangerous limbs and trees as needed and recommended by the arborist as well as working with County traffic staff to review dangerous intersections and advocating for signage changes and other modifications to keep our neighborhood as safe as possible.
