Glynlea Park Neighborhood Association
News and Events
Code Compliance Sweep

Last fall we were advised by Code Compliance that in addition  to the normal response to calls for code violations,  they would be taking a proactive stance by systematically and aggressively targeting all neighborhoods, one after another, documenting and citing code violations.

Well, it's Glynlea Park's turn at bat. Code Compliance officers will be canvassing the neighborhood either during the week of March 8th or March 15th.

No one is supposed to water from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

What is SHADCO?

SHADCO is the Sheriff's Advisory Council. It is a partnership between Law Enforcement and the Community. It illustrates Jacksonville's commitment to community policing.

This strategic alliance provides a structural opportunity for developing mutual trust and understanding. Founded in 1995, SHADCO has been an enormous success for the city of Jacksonville. The city is broken into Zones and each Zone meets once a month to discuss issues pertaining to their area of the city and plan solutions.

At the present time, Board of Directors members Ralph Wicklund  and Kathy Wicklund represent Glynlea Park Neighborhood Association at the Zone 2, Sector E meetings. Meetings are held the 3rd Thursday of each month at the Regency Mall.


"NEIGHBORHOOD YARD SALE”

 

The GPNA is gearing up for another “Yard Sale”, if we have enough interest. It is a way we get to know other residents, make some new friends and make some CASH in the process.

 

If you haven’t participated in the past, we hold the sale in the parking lot of the radio station at the corner of Glynlea Road and Atlantic Boulevard.  It is the perfect location…we draw a lot of traffic off Atlantic Boulevard with our signs, and they don’t have to weave through the neighborhood to find a specific address of a sale.  We’ve had a considerable amount of money made by residents in the past.

 

Residents bring their own tables and are responsible for the sale of their own goods.  Cost of a space is $10.00, with no specific size space, since we have access to the entire parking lot.  Sale starts at

8:00 a.m. and runs through noon. However, if we still have a lot of buyers on the premises, we can stay until late afternoon.


The tentative date set is Saturday, April 17th.  If you are interested, please respond via the Contact Page or call us directly at 724-2341 or 210-9593.  Deadline date is March 22nd .  If we have enough responders by this date, we will repost this information and open it up again for anyone who is interested after this date,

 

Thank you…COME JOIN US!
