Respect for Local Residents - Parking & Quiet Hours

June 12, 2023

At the Autonomy Project, we take great pride in creating a safe and inclusive space for the LGBTQIA+ and alternative lifestyle communities. We firmly believe in the power of unity, respect, and positive community engagement. However, recent concerns have come to our attention regarding issues of parking, noise, and disorderly behavior in the residential neighborhood behind our building after the conclusion of our grand opening. As responsible members of the community, we want to address these concerns and emphasize the importance of being good neighbors.

 

Respecting Residential Areas: Wicked Eden is located in close proximity to a residential neighborhood, and it is essential that we demonstrate respect and consideration for our neighbors. Parking is one area where we must be mindful. We kindly request that our members and attendees avoid parking in residential areas surrounding our venue. Instead, we encourage using designated parking spaces or alternative parking arrangements to minimize any inconvenience caused to residents.

 

Quiet Enjoyment of the Neighborhood: We understand that occasional events and gatherings may generate excitement and enthusiasm among our community members. However, it is crucial to remember that excessive noise or disorderly behavior can disrupt the quiet enjoyment of the neighborhood for our neighbors. We urge everyone attending events at Wicked Eden to be mindful of their noise levels and clothing choices when entering and exiting the premises, especially during late hours. Anyone who is found in violation of these guidelines will have their membership revoked and be denied entrance to our space.

Building Positive Relationships: As part of the Autonomy Project, we are committed to building positive relationships with our neighbors and fostering a harmonious coexistence. We encourage our members and attendees to engage in good neighbor behavior, such as maintaining a respectful distance from residential properties, refraining from littering, and abiding by any specific guidelines or regulations set by the community.

Communication and Accountability: Open lines of communication between Wicked Eden and the local community are vital to addressing any concerns or issues promptly. We encourage our neighbors to reach out to us directly to discuss any problems they may encounter. Likewise, we commit to actively listening to their concerns, working together to find mutually beneficial solutions, and taking appropriate action to maintain a peaceful and respectful neighborhood environment. Community members can always reach out to alex@autonomyproject.org to discuss solutions.

Conclusion: As members of the Autonomy Project, we have a responsibility not only to our LGBTQIA+ and alternative lifestyle communities but also to the surrounding neighborhood. By fostering a culture of good neighbor behavior, we can create a harmonious community where everyone feels respected and valued.

We sincerely urge our members, attendees, and the broader community to prioritize the well-being and peace of the residential area surrounding Wicked Eden. Together, we can ensure that our events contribute positively to the community and promote a spirit of inclusivity, understanding, and respect.

Let us strive to be shining examples of good neighbors and continue to build bridges of acceptance and unity within our community.

In solidarity,

The Autonomy Project Team
