The northern edge of this quarter of our neighborhood includes the shops and businesses along Elizabeth Street. PSNA is presently carrying a high density population load and a high intensity base and peak traffic load as evidenced by the traffic counts, the disrepair of the streets in the neighborhood, peak traffic and on -street parking load during the University sessions and the high level of human activity. PSNA is a Colorado not -for -profit corporation. While some form of neighborhood organization has existed in the Prospect -Shields area since the late Seventies, the Association has been formally chartered and incorporated since 1985. The purpose of the Association is to provide the neighborhood information on issues of concern, communicate members' views to decision -makers, and promote a sense of neighborhood identity and community. Membership in the Association consists of all residents of the area who express interest in neighborhood affairs and all interested absentee property owners. Strong efforts are made by the PSNA Board to keep members informed of neighborhood concerns. Participation by all residents in analyzing situations and formulating positions is strongly encouraged and realized, as evidenced by good attendance at neighborhood meetings and response to written questionnaires. Emphasis is on "grass roots" involvement rather than executive determination by the Association's Board. PSNA has no formal financial structure, i.e., there are no dues. Its modest expenses are covered out-of-pocket by members of the Board and from irregular voluntary contributions from members.
