Welcome to the
Lyell-Otis neighborhood!

Lyell-Otis Neighborhood Association (LONA) is located in the City of Rochester, NY. It's in the Northwest Quadrant of the city. We border Gates and Greece. Our boundaries are: The Erie Canal (the City Line) on the West, Lyell Ave. on the South, Driving Park Boulevard on the North, and the old subway bed (long since filled-in, which previously was where the Erie Canal flowed!) on the East - almost to Dewey Avenue, but not quite.

Hi! This is Pam! Your friendly Lyell-Otis Neighborhood Association Public Relations Coordinator! I try my best to keep this web site up-to-date and as clear as possible, but please know that your feedback is always welcome! I look forward to helping make our Lyell-Otis Neighborhood a shining example of how we live happily in the City of Rochester!

If you have any comments, or suggestions, please feel free to drop me a line!! NiceNRG@aol.com

Mission Statement, or "Who We Are"

The Lyell-Otis Neighborhood Association is an all volunteer organization that works to better the quality of life in the neighborhood. We are always trying to increase our active membership numbers, and trying to attract more owner-occupied homes into our area. We have been diligently working with the city to improve this issue, as well as many others. 

We recently rebuilt a playground after getting the project funded by local elected officials and local health care agencies, so as to improve the area for our youngest neighbors.

We are improving our playgrounds, and we need YOUR input!

 

The City of Rochester is making plans to renovate our playgrounds at J.R. Wilson Park (located at Otis, Burrows, and Haloid Streets) and at Bianchi Park (located at Emerson and Glide Streets).

 

We want to make sure that our neighbors have ample time and opportunity to voice their ideas and suggestions on what we feel is best for our neighborhood!

 

Please come to our monthly meetings, as we will have city representatives there (as schedules allow) who can help us get a better picture as to the scope of these great developements.

 

We want to make sure we are creating happy and healthy spaces for our current and incoming young families as we welcome new home-owners and residents into our area. :)

This is where distributed meeting minutes and agendas can be found. We also post burglary/robbery reports here, as well as any crime or sex offender information that we receive. We want to help our local community by being proactive, and helping our local law enforcement agencies be as effective as possible.

We have great posts for children on the LONA Kids page, with many links to fun and educational web sites. Also, any information that might be of interest to those with children, like events at our library, or in our community.
