For the second straight year the Whittier Alliance will be funding a bike patrol for the neighborhood. Uniformed MPD officers will be on duty Thursday-Sunday during the summer months and will be focusing on community engagement. If you see them say hello!

 Whittier's only net zero house (producing more energy than it uses), will be the site of the next Environmental Sustainability Committee meeting! The home on Harriet Ave owned by Stewart and Linda Herman is also thought to be the oldest in the US that has achieved net zero status. The home has been featured on tpt's Almanac show, the Star Tribune, and the Minneapolis St. Paul Home Tour. The Hermans will give a tour of the home and talk about how to restore a residence to reduce its carbon footprint.
Whittier Environmental Sustainability Committee Meeting Saturday, May 20 3-4:30pm 2021 Harriet Ave All are welcome to attend! If you are interested in learning more about Whittier's Environmental Sustainabilty Committee, contact Paul Shanafelt at 612-871-7756 or paul@whittieralliance.org. Zeus Jones believes innovation starts with people, not technology or process. As their business expanded, they chose to move to Whittier. Every year, they create a gift for all their clients. Last year, that gift was the Eat Street Cookbook, “From Eat Street, with Love.” It was also a gift for the Whittier Alliance. The book was sold online and at Greater Goods and Magers and Quinn. Zeus Jones donated the proceeds of the cookbook to the Whittier Alliance, which will help fund neighborhood events and projects.
Helpful, patient, and environmentally conscious, owner Jamie McDonald and the crew at Sunrise Cyclery are a tremendous asset to Whittier. Many of their bike parts and accessories are inexpensive, and they sometimes give them away for free. Sunrise offers free bike mechanic tutorials for anyone, no matter your age or biking know-how. They co-hosted the Whittier Bike Fair last fall where they offered free bike tune-ups, food, and resources for the neighborhood. Jamie volunteered several hours of his time to fix up over 40 bikes for free at the Caffeine & Kickstands event last summer that was co-hosted by Whittier Alliance and Spyhouse. Whittier is lucky to have such a wonderful, community-oriented business. On behalf of the Whittier neighborhood, we congratulate Zeus Jones and Sunrise Cyclery on receiving the 2016 Whittier Good Business Award!
