Elaine Young, a stalwart of the JSBA, dear friend and Jane Street neighbor, died in May 2018. Elaine was a dedicated community activist who cared deeply about the West Village and the Meatpacking District. Her enthusiasm, acumen, integrity and tireless efforts will be missed by all. Donations in her memory can be made online to the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation. To donate by check, please make it out to the GVSHP, write "In memory of Elaine Young" on the memo line, and mail to: Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation, 232 East 11th Street, New York, NY 10003.

Maintaining Jane Street's Quality of Life
We remain vigilant about bars and lounges requesting late closings — as late as 4 am — as part of their application for a liquor license. These applications require neighborhood outreach before being heard by Community Board 2. Please join us in reviewing and commenting on these applications, to ensure that late-night hours, noise, patrons and traffic do not affect our quality of life. If you have an issue with an already established business, please email us and also contact our NCOs (Neighborhood Community Officers). CB2's monthly calendar is published online. Please get in touch if you'd like to join us (even if it is for just one meeting). More details on our local issues page.
Our 21st annual Street Sale

Building Community and Preserving Quality of Life
June 1 brought beautiful weather and a great turnout for browsing, shopping, catching up, and activism (writing postcards to our local politicians). Thanks to our volunteers and to all those who stopped by.
The beautiful new fence of the Jane Street Garden was inaugurated on December 1, 2018 at a festive neighborhood gathering of Jane Streeters and friends of the fence from all over. More about the occasion
