Kevin Daily, president of the Flowing Wells Neighborhood Association and Community Coalition at the North Side s western edge, describes his neighborhood as mostly working class. It also is unusually close-knit because all elementary schools within the Flowing Wells School District feed into one junior high and one high school. The neighborhood encompasses the entire school district and spans roughly from Ina to Grant Roads and from Fairview to Shannon roads. Many residents of the area are particularly concerned with crime, and have been developing strong relationships with police, he said. On the other edge of the North Side, Jim Herzfeld is equally proud of the Richland Heights West neighborhood, which is between Campbell and Mountain avenues and Prince and Fort Lowell roads.
Many residents there are interested in growth and zoning issues.
We are a unique neighborhood in that we have a country feel, a rural ambiance in the center of town, said Herzfeld, president of the Richland Heights West Neighborhood Association. 2001 AzStarNet , Arizona Daily Star and its wire services and suppliers and may not be republished without permission.
