Monroe Avenue is SAFE & COMPASSIONATE

The UMNA multi-year Monroe Avenue revitalization effort is comprised of seven goals. The goals are expressed with aspirational language; language that describes the future we want to see.

The community on and around Monroe Avenue supports a safe and compassionate environment.
