On February 10, 2020, the Chico City Council voted 4-1 to adopt an ordinance that would amend the city code and establish a by-district election process. The majority of the CANA area is in District 4 but there is some spillover into District 5. A more specific description of district boundaries can be found in the following City districts document provided by the City to the Chico Enterprise Record. For map downloads, demographics, and other City documents related to district breakdowns, go the the City of Chico web site.
Regarding the Enloe Parking Project, the City has hired Dixon Resources Unlimited to do the work but the plan is still in its rough draft stages.
Avenue Neighbors,
Through the years Avenue residents have become involved in CANA for a variety of reasons. Initially, and probably most importantly, it was because of the Enloe Hospital Expansion, which, by the way, is still not finished. The CANA website hasan article and rough timeline on the park. Click here.
That said, there many other reasons to stay engaged with CANA…issues that include 2nd dwelling unit problems, parking and traffic, and infill development in the E. Avenues between the Esplanade & Mangrove. The greater the participation of the Avenue’s residents, the greater the impact that you will have on your neighborhood and its quality of life. As a recognized neighborhood organization, the City of Chico has given CANA a voice so we should use it.
With the goal of improving the Avenues neighborhood, the CANA Board of Directors is seeking additional board members who are interested in shaping our future. If you are interested, you can submit your contact information our website or email John Whitehead, CANA Board President, at president@chicoavenues.org.
