I am new to the Crestview Community and would like to know how we can create a community fridge or pantry where those who aren't sure where their next meal will come from can help themselves to food that has been donated by local restaurants or citizens. Watertown in MA does a great job of this: https://www.watertowncommunityfridge.org/ If we have something like this already established, please let me know where it is located. It's a great way to feed those less fortunate and help restaurants reduce their food waste! If we don't have something like this already, what would be the process to create it?

The daily traffic and accidents on 85 have to be looked at for address. Having lived overseas for many years I have come to appreciate the value of traffic circles for single point destination routes such as 85. Part of the idea is to continue constant traffic movement and to promote zipper effect merging. The constant movement will discourage motorists to stay off their mobile devices. Doing so will mitigate the risk and tragedy of motorist accidents. These accidents occur almost daily. At the intersection on PJ Adams would be a great spot to transform the intersection into a large traffic circle.
Another logical reason to introduce traffic circles in alternate places on 85 is for the purpose of redirection. Many motorists are subject to making potentially dangerous U turns in order to reach their destinations. The use of traffic circle alleviates the danger of U turns and gives motorists a natural recourse to a safe turn around.

Antioch rd flooding at the slightest hint of rain is a known fact of life. We could help to manage this using native plants both along the road where the flooding is worst and on our own properties....

Ernstseed.com for example has multiple seed mixes designed for storm water management or erosion, but they deliver in quantities beyond what one property would need, we could come together as a community to share these mixes between us to help prevent water runoff, and partner with the city to assist in seeding natives in public areas as well.
