Neighbors, Together is a community action group comprised of representatives from a variety of businesses and organizations that work together to mitigate the negative effects of the downtown rail project. Their goals include driving local business revenue with marketing and promotions. 2020 will be the toughest year as the two rail bridges will be out for ten weeks. Wayfinding, accessibility and parking are key areas of needed communication.The finished product will result in a safer more beautiful downtown. A sign-up sheet was circulated for volunteers in various capacities.
