The Mifflin neighborhood meeting, scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Madison Senior Center at 330 W. Mifflin St., will allow community members to voice concerns and have questions answered regarding this year's Mifflin Street Block Party.
Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, has hosted the meeting annually to allow neighborhood residents the opportunity to hear directly from representatives of the police and fire department and event organizers, he said.
The meeting is primarily aimed at those living in the Mifflin Street area but is open to the public. Verveer said it has been generally well attended for years.
For students, Verveer said, a main concern has always been how strict the police's enforcement will be in relation to house parties, drinking and music.
He said the block party will not become a commercialized, sponsored event like Freakfest, at which an admission fee is charged.
""I think [the meeting] provides neighborhood residents and others a very effective vehicle for having their questions or concerns addressed,"" Verveer said.
