From the Curb

A note from the Editor

Lake Como is in a moment where decisions are being made before residents are fully informed.

KLCB’s Porch2Curb Season 2 exists to correct that—by making sure residents have clear information, usable tools, and a way to participate in real time, not after decisions are already shaped.

This month, that shows up in one place: Horne Street.

If we want different outcomes, we need inclusive participation.

Meet me at the curb,

Peacock 🦚

🛣️ Horne Street Reconstruction Project

Public Meeting — Thursday, April 2, 2026 • 6:15 PM

Como Community Center

Horne Street is changing—and the decisions being made now will shape the neighborhood for years to come.

A focus group was held before the public meeting. KLCB—the only registered Redevelopment Organization serving Lake Como—was not included.

That matters.

Because credible community engagement is not just about holding a meeting—it’s about who is included early enough to shape the conversation.

KLCB has created a resident briefing so you can show up informed.

✔ Know what’s proposed

✔ Know what’s still in play

✔ Know what questions to ask

🪑 Seat at the Table

Representation Is Not Optional

Lake Como cannot rely on selective outreach or closed-door conversations when once-in-a-generation decisions are being made.

The Seat at the Table campaign sets a clear standard:

Residents—and the organizations doing real resident-facing work—must be included early, consistently, and transparently.

This is not oppositional work.

This is civic infrastructure.

Porch2Curb — Choose Your First Step

Start small | Stay consistent | Build block pride.

In 2026, KLCB is activating Porch2Curb as a bold, resident-powered movement to engage 250 households in visible block-level action across Lake Como.

This is how we rebuild connection: street by street, house by house, block by block.

Through simple first steps, shared tools, and steady follow-through, Porch2Curb helps neighbors move from passive awareness to active participation—reclaiming pride in their blocks and rebuilding the social cohesion needed to shape Lake Como’s future together.

🛺Support Porch2Curb in Motion🛺

Engage. Empower. Transform.

We don’t need another meeting.

The only way to move in Lake Como is in the streets—house by house, block by block.

That’s why the KLCB Street Cart matters.

The Street Cart is how Porch2Curb shows up in motion: bringing porch clinics, tools, resource sharing, and real-time connection directly into the neighborhood. It gives us a visible, mobile way to meet neighbors where they are, support block-level action, and help residents take the next step together.

The cart is here. Now we need the support to wrap it, activate it, and keep it moving through November 30, 2026. That means building the operational support behind it—branding, outreach materials, neighborhood activation, and the steady fuel it takes to keep Porch2Curb visible and in motion across Lake Como.

This is not about having a vehicle. It’s about having a working neighborhood tool that helps us engage residents consistently, block by block, throughout the season.

Will you help keep Porch2Curb in motion?
