West 7th is facing a challenge that could undermine decades of thoughtful community planning. The proposed trash truck site at 560 Randolph Ave. contradicts the vision we’ve all worked so hard to shape—a vision of a thriving, vibrant, and connected neighborhood.

This proposal disregards years of citizen participation and threatens to derail the progress we’ve made together. As a community, we’ve been clear about what we want for West 7th, and this isn’t it.

Now, more than ever, we need to stand united to ensure our voices are heard and our neighborhood vision is respected. But making that happen requires resources. We’re asking for your help to raise $2,000 to support our advocacy efforts.

Your contribution will help us:

Cover the cost of appeals (we've filed three that cost $1,464 in total)
Assist with a portion of the costs of materials and staff time to organize our efforts
Amplify community voices through outreach and communication
Advocate for the future our neighborhood deserves

Can you help us protect West 7th? A gift of $25, $50, or whatever you can contribute will make a meaningful impact.

West 7th deserves thoughtful development that reflects the priorities of the people who live, work, and invest here. Together, we can protect our neighborhood from decisions that go against its best interests and ensure it remains a place where everyone can thrive.

Thank you for your support and for being part of this incredible community.

In solidarity,
West 7th/Fort Road Federation Board of Directors

The proposed trash truck site does NOT fit the plans or dreams we’ve worked so hard to shape for our neighborhood!
