\nTYLER — The Tyler City Council Wednesday received a presentation on the outcomes of the Spring 2011 Neighborhood Empowerment Works (NEW) Program. Officials say the NEW Program is designed to enhance the quality of life for residents through the concentrated delivery of services and programs provided by the City. Working in partnership with the neighborhoods, the City\u2019s goal is to raise awareness of code and zoning ordinances, provide information on accessing City services and promote clean and safe neighborhoods. <\/p>\n

During the 11th NEW Program, officials say, City of Tyler Departments came together and made many improvements to a neighborhood in City Council District Two. The boundaries of the neighborhood selected as the 11th NEW were Walton Road east to Walker Street, south to Foster Street, west to Barnes Street, southwest to Old Noonday Road, south to Luther Street, west to S.E. Palmer Highway (Highway 155) and northeast to Walton Road.<\/p>\n

Officials say the NEW program enhances the quality of life for Tyler residents \u2013 one neighborhood at a time \u2013 by concentrating City services in a specific area for four weeks. Various City departments use information gathered from the neighborhood meeting, as well as an examination of the area, to identify services that could make an immediate impact on the neighborhood. <\/p>\n

Outcomes from the 11th NEW program include:
\n\u00b7 24 junk vehicles were tagged for removal;
\n\u00b7 92 lots with high vegetation were mowed;
\n\u00b7 31 trashed lots were cleaned;
\n\u00b7 1,844 square feet of street base repairs were performed;
\n\u00b7 Three and one-half miles of right-of-way were mowed;
\n\u00b7 Six street signs were replaced;
\n\u00b7 Five street lights were repaired;
\n\u00b7 Three and one-half miles of streets were swept;
\n\u00b7 2,200 feet of sewer main were cleaned and inspected;

\n\u00b7 The Solid Waste Department removed 738.5 yards of solid waste; and,
\n\u00b7 Trees were trimmed and 194 cubic yards of waste removed.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince its inception, the NEW program has been an important tool to stop neighborhood decline in its tracks,\u201d said City Council Member Donald Sanders. \u201cBy involving the neighbors and leveraging City services, the program has proven to be successful in encouraging reinvestment in Tyler\u2019s older neighborhoods.
