Neighborhood or civic group
Nicetown-Tioga Improvement Team
Nicetown-Tioga Improvement Team is a neighborhood group, formed in 1998, that works as an umbrella for more than 50 local groups and block captains. Its monthly meeting is where neighbors hear about zoning and building plans and talk about housing, schools and jobs.

Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Join the monthly meeting on the third Tuesday at 6 pm on Zoom; the current link is on the group's meetings page..
You can just show up. No sign up needed.
What to expect
Meetings run on Zoom, and the agenda is posted on the meetings page once it is set, though some months list it as to be announced. The group reviews nearby zoning and development plans and hosts public meetings for some projects. Residents who come regularly can join committee talks or sign up to help with a program. The page does not say how long a meeting lasts or what it costs.
Tips for your first visit
- Check the meetings page for the current Zoom link before the meeting, since the links on the site differ.
- Camera use is optional on Zoom, and the page also lists a phone dial-in.
- Expect the talk to center on zoning and building plans, the group's main work.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The membership page says everyone is welcome at meetings and the meetings page gives a fixed time, but neither speaks to newcomers directly..
