The Uvalde Southwest Neigborhood Association met on Monday, April 22nd at 6:40 PM at El Jardin De Los Heroes Park in Uvalde to discuss streer lighting. street conditions, police patrols and other shared concerns to bring to city officials.

“We had a great turnout. We had about 35 people from the neighborhood show up. We do have a Facebook group page called Uvalde Southwest Neighborhood Association with more than 90 members. We are focusing on our neighborhood but it seems like residents from the whole city want to join.

Some projects that we are working on will require citywide planning, so we welcome any and all Uvaldeans. The focus of our group is to create an effective mode of communication, identifying issues in our communities and working with our city leaders to find solutions for these issues,” Simon E. Ortiz said.
