The UANA began in the summer of 1998, and since then has played a key role in the life of our neighborhoods on either side of University Parkway. It has provided a means of identifying neighborhood concerns and problems, and has sought constructive ways toward resolving them.
Over the years, we have dealt with a variety of issues, including rezoning and local permits for construction or expansion of sites of concern to neighbors, conversion of owner-occupied, single-family homes into rental houses (usually rented to Wake Forest undergraduates), and violations of the local noise and other ordinances by late-night partying at rental houses.
In all these cases, the UANA has worked effectively to negotiate resolutions to these problems. We have developed a working relationship with Wake Forest University officials, the Winston-Salem Police Department, our City Council representatives (Nelson Malloy and Wanda Merschel), city Housing and Neighborhood Services, and the Winston-Salem Neighborhood Alliance.
We have made a positive difference, and we can continue to do that -- provided that YOU, dear reader/neighborhood resident, take an interest in and support these efforts.
