November 2023

From UCCA president Diane Ahern: Hello University City, I have been enjoying all the Halloween decorations and fall festivities in University City. It’s hard for me to believe that our year is almost over and that we are moving rapidly into the winter holidays. This month, I’m sending good wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving.

I hope you have much to be thankful for with good food that fills your table, good health as you work and volunteer, and good times with family and friends. Let’s issue a shout out and special thank you to UCCA’s many volunteers and board members who deliver newsletters and serve on neighborhood watch groups and who help with community outreach.

I’ve enjoyed serving as UCCA’s president for the past two years and I thank all who have volunteered alongside me. I look forward to meeting the UCCA officer candidates at the November 8 in-person meeting and supporting UCCA’s new leaders.

Meanwhile, Pure Water pipelines construction continues to present its own set of challenges on both Genesee Avenue and Towne Centre Drive. The intersection work at Governor and Genesee is almost complete with most of the work done at night so that traffic can continue to move during the day. In the near future, Pure Water construction is expected to bring more disruptions to Genesee traffic at the Centurion Square and Nobel Drive intersections. The UCPG (the planning group) and UCCA (our community association) will provide community updates on Pure Water construction at their upcoming meetings.

The release of the Community Plan Update (CPU) and the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) have been delayed until early 2024. Refer to UCPG chair Chris Nielsen’s report in this issue for details about changes and opportunities at the UC Planning Group.

Speaking of meetings, UCCA will meet in-person at the Community Library, 4155 Governor Drive, on Wednesday, November 8. This is the UCCA Officer Election meeting. This is a public meeting and all are welcome. Meet the UCCA candidates, networking, meet & greet, and voting begin at 5 p.m. The general meeting is scheduled from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. We’ll have an in-person update with the Pure Water construction team at 6 p.m. and an update on the Library Master Plan at 6:30 p.m. Please refer to the Election Notice and the Candidate Statements in the November newsletter for more details.

Join UCCA! For your convenience, you’ll find a membership envelope stapled in the center section of the November newsletter. I am confident that you value UCCA and the University City News as much as I do. I urge you to update your UCCA membership for 2024. We need your support and donations that allow UCCA to support many local community events and projects; and to help keep our print newsletter in print. Have a great November.

You may wonder why UCCA hosts public meetings? It is part of UCCA’s mission … to provide a forum where the interests of residents may be expressed and contributions made to the protection of life and property in the community. If you have an agenda item to share or wish to speak during the meeting public forum, please contact me at UniversityCityNews@gmail.com.

UCCA will meet in-person at the Community Library, 4155 Governor Drive, on Wednesday, November 8. This is the UCCA Officer Election meeting. This is a public meeting and all are welcome. Networking, meet & greet, and voting begin at 5 p.m. The general meeting is scheduled from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

It’s been a long time since UCCA has held an in-person meeting and I hope you can join us for networking and community updates at the Library on November 8. We have a lot to chat about. Thank you so much for helping to keep University City more than just a neighborhood.
