Light Up Logan Square!

Help Make the Logan Square-Parkway Neighborhood Safer, One Stoop at a Time.

The Logan Square-Parkway neighborhood is generally safe but is located in a large city and therefore requires "street smarts." Adequately lighting your property is one of the best and least expensive ways to prevent crime directed at you and your loved ones, friends, and neighbors.

Currently, many streets in Logan Square are simply too dark. LSNA's Health & Safety Committee has created a task force to work on improving street lighting in our area (volunteers welcome). In the meantime, however, you can help immediately improve neighborhood safety by ensuring that your property is well-lit.

Please help make our neighborhood safer by taking inexpensive, easy steps to install lights, if you haven't already, such as:

         • Over your front door, installing light timers or photo-cells
         to turn lights on/off automatically, so the street is well-lit at all times; and

         • In the rear and/or on the side of your home, installing light
          timers, photo-cells, or infra-red motion sensor lights, which help deter
          intruders.

If you would like help installing or fixing your outdoor lights, please contact Pamela or David at lsnahs@gmail.com. They will negotiate a group rate with an electrician to reduce the cost for LSNA affiliates, if enough people participate.
