Lights, Cars, and Holes

March 4, 2016 by Charlie London

If you see potholes, streetlights, abandoned vehicles, etc., please get as much info as possible.

Correct addresses are very important. Make, model and license number of abandoned cars are mandatory. Each light pole has a unique number attached to it, so be sure to note that in your communications to jazzfest@fsjna.org

Things that need to be repaired or corrected are the main focus. However, all issues affecting quality of life are important such as: parking, neighborhood access, illegal vending, and crime.
