The May 14 General Meeting was well attended by residents, and for good reason. A rash of burglaries (and robberies) in the Riviera and nearby neighborhoods had residents deeply concerned about safety and what measures to take. A team of officers took time out to address the issue with statistics, department reactions, and advice for keeping lives and property safe.

The RHA also introduced Marquis Olison, representing the new neighborhood social media site Nextdoor.com, who described how the neighborhood could draw together (and become safer) by using new online tools to stay in touch, share ideas, and promote local activities. Since then, the number of Nextdoor subscribers in the Riviera has grown to over 300 subscribers. After more than a year in existence, it’s clear that Nextdoor is a valuable tool for making the Riviera a more close-knit, vibrant community.
