“The goal of the committee will be to determine how we as a neighborhood can better advocate for and improve the Miracle Mile area. Is there a way we can add some branding to the area? Can we help advocate for a safer McDowell road so pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles can all safely access businesses? Is there an event that we can help plan to highlight and promote the area? Initial meeting on Tuesday August 25th @ 6pm at Arizona Wilderness MM. This will be a casual, informal meeting where we can talk about the area and throw out ideas. We can also determine a meeting schedule for the committee going forward.”
