Normally this format is reserved for when the latest edition of the Norwood News publishes its latest edition, but we veered from the script just a bit to present the latest newsletter by Community Board 7. The Board, under the chairmanship of newly re-elected chair Adaline Walker-Santiago, released an eight-page publication of its own showcasing the work it’s taken on since last September.

The Board, covering Norwood, Bedford Park, Kingsbridge, Fordham and University Heights, has now entered a summer hiatus to catch its breath, but not before releasing its newsletter. In it, you’ll find quick blurbs of the Board’s twelve committees, ranging from Land Use/Housing to Long Term Planning. Among the many things the Board has checked off this year include:

• Establishing a Veterans Committee
• A push to co-name a street after Margaret J. Mack
• Ensuring The Stagg Group adheres to building mixed housing on Webster Avenue
• Taking developers of the Kingsbridge National Ice Center to task
• Highlighting the growing trend of synthetic marijuana use

You’ll also find some fun events CB7 took part, including the Bronx Week Parade in mid-May.

So take a look at the newsletter, and share thoughts with the Board. It can be reached at (718) 933-5650. Or one can stop by its Board offices at 229A East 204th St. from the hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
