Lake Como Connections
A Blog by Keep Lake Como Beautiful (KLCB)
Lake Como Connections is KLCB’s place for plain-language explainers, neighborhood updates, public records, and practical guides.
Use the blog to understand what is happening in Lake Como, who is responsible, how a process works, and where you can participate. Follow the record to see what changed, what remains open, and what comes next.
KLCB helps residents turn useful information into resident power: Access, Knowledge, Organization, and Influence. Residents choose how to participate. Public agencies and other responsible institutions retain their duties.

Seat at the Table Does Not End When the Workshop Ends.
Seat at the Table was never designed to be a one-day event. Each workshop forms a cohort. That cohort then moves into the Google Classroom for official support and follow-up, then reconvenes by Google Meet to examine real next-step opportunities — including proposed collaborations — through the Resident Power Framework before the work moves forward.
