Month: January 2022

The Office of Neighborhood Safety (ONS) is beginning a strategic planning process, which they engaged a local firm (Aria Strategies) to lead.

They are hosting a series of Town Hall meetings in February to gather input and have also developed a survey (in both English and Spanish) that they are asking folks to complete to inform this process.  Could you please forward my note and the attached fliers on to all the folks on your neighborhood contacts list?

Volunteer to Keep it Clear

Is there a fire hydrant near your home?  Help the Rochester Fire Department by keeping it clear of ice and snow.

Adopt a hydrant by agreeing to do the items below. You even get to name your hydrant!

• Clear a path from the hydrant to the street;
• Clear a 3-foot perimeter around the hydrant;
• Remove ice and snow.

Adopt-a-Hydrant

Use our interactive map below, which shows available hydrants in green.  Click the magnifying glass on the map and enter your address or street name in the search box to find the hydrant closest to you. 

To adopt a hydrant, click on a green hydrant, complete the information in the form, and click the “x” to close the box and finish the adoption.

After you’ve submitted your adoption request, the hydrant icon will turn yellow while the request is processed. Once it’s approved, you’ll be notified by email and the hydrant icon will turn red.

SEAC is excited to announce our newest member, Nick Wilbur, who has taken on the role of Tool Shed Coordinator.

Nick has lived in Western New York his entire life, working for years in landscaping and masonry. As a political activist and campaign consultant he advocates for bettering his community, and he currently serves in the New York Democratic Party and as a member of the Greater Rochester LGTBQ+ Political Caucus executive committee. Nick loves the South Wedge for its beauty, history, and every little side street he jogs.

As we begin setting up our new home and working towards launching our exciting Tool Shed program, we thought what better way to celebrate than by partnering with Sager Beer Works and create a delicious beer!

PREORDER YOURS TODAY!

Hammertime is a delicious West Coast IPA that has a hoppy, floral front with a dose of sweet malt and pine.

Your purchase not only gets you super tasty beer, but you’re also supporting a local grassroot nonprofit that has been operating in Rochester since 1968!  Sager’s is generously donating $8 per 4-pack sold to the South East Area Coalition!

Hammertime will be released in April 2022.
