      &lt;p&gt;On Wednesday May 7, the NCNA hosted a public meeting regarding traffic safety.
&lt;a href=&#34;../2025/04/speed-streets-safety&#34;&gt;Speed, Streets, and Safety for All&lt;/a&gt; was generously hosted by the &lt;a href=&#34;https://northcitywater.org/&#34;&gt;North City Water District&lt;/a&gt; in their conference room.
The event turnout was a success, with a nearly-full room of about 50 attendees.
&lt;a href=&#34;https://urbanistshoreline.org/&#34;&gt;Urbanist Shoreline&lt;/a&gt; was our partner in developing the event content and we thank Katie Lorah for her energy and enthusiasm.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Despite a bit of rain last Saturday, about 20 neighbors came together and made a huge difference in North City
for the &lt;a href=&#34;../2025/04/neighborhood-cleanup/&#34;&gt;NCNA North City CleanUp Day&lt;/a&gt;!
Armed with gloves, bags, and incredible community spirit, volunteers tackled:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;15th Ave NE&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;NE 175th Street&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;NE 180th Street&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;10th Ave NE&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;NE 185th St around the light rail station.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;2024 was a busy year for the &lt;abbr title=&#34;North City Neighborhood Association&#34;&gt;NCNA&lt;/abbr&gt;.
We produced or partnered to produce a wide array of events to connect with our neighbors.
As an all-volunteer organization, it&#39;s important that we make best use of our time to serve and strengthen the North City community.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With that in mind, please help us by completing a short survey about our neighborhood engagement.
You can also add as much feedback as you wish.
Your input will help guide our decision-making for our 2025 activities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This survey will be open until January 15, 2025.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Friday, August 30, 2024, was a big day in North City. The Shoreline North/185th Station, one of four new Link light rail stations, opened as part of the Sound Transit Lynnwood Link Extension. North City Neighborhood Association was chosen as the event producer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Eligible Shoreline residents can apply to receive free trees through &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.shorelinewa.gov/treesforshoreline&#34; title=&#34;The City of Shoreline&#39;s page on the Trees for Shoreline program&#34;&gt;Trees for Shoreline&lt;/a&gt;,
a pilot program aimed at growing and maintaining a healthy urban forest.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Trees are important for a healthy Shoreline. They provide a wide range of benefits to our environment, homes, and properties!
When you participate in Trees for Shoreline, you receive:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Help with selecting the right tree and planting location&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A watering bag and mulch for your tree&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Training on proper planting and care&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ongoing care reminders&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Planting assistance (on a limited basis due to volunteer availability)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;em&gt;application period&lt;/em&gt; for &lt;em&gt;Trees for Shoreline&lt;/em&gt; is open until &lt;strong&gt;August 15&lt;/strong&gt;.  There is a limit of one free tree per household.
Depending on tree availability and program interest, not everyone who applies will receive a tree.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Do you enjoy connecting with your neighbors?
We certainly do, and could use some help connecting online.
The &lt;abbr title=&#34;North City Neighborhood Association&#34;&gt;NCNA&lt;/abbr&gt; is looking for someone to help with our social media outreach.
This would include sharing news from the &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.shorelinewa.gov/&#34;&gt;City of Shoreline&lt;/a&gt;, activities of the NCNA, and stories &lt;em&gt;you&lt;/em&gt; think neighbors would be interested in!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If interested, send an email to &lt;a href=&#34;mailto:info@northcityna.org&#34;&gt;info@northcityna.org&lt;/a&gt; and we will flow up with more details.&lt;/p&gt;

      &lt;p&gt;The banner poles in North City have been looking a bit lonely lately.
We&#39;re excited to announce that we qualified for a neighborhood grant from the City of Shoreline to have new banners created and installed!
We will be posting updates as the work gets completed, which should be before the end of this year.&lt;/p&gt;

      &lt;p&gt;There used to be a fair amount of horsetail (&lt;a href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equisetum&#34;&gt;equisetum&lt;/a&gt;) growing in the Gateway planters.  Since we&#39;ve &lt;a href=&#34;../2021/06/gateway-planting-project/&#34;&gt;replanted them&lt;/a&gt;, it doesn’t want to go away without a fight.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:center&#34;&gt;&lt;small&gt;Horsetail&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Digging or pulling the horsetail out is not practical.  It is impossible to get all the roots — any bits left will continue to grow.  The best approach is to keep snipping of any shoots it sends up. That depletes the roots of energy, eventually doing them in.&lt;/p&gt;

Concepts also include intersection improvements at N 175th Street and Meridian Avenue N. Design concepts are based on feedback collected in the spring of 2019.&lt;/p&gt;
