Miracles Club Good Neighbor Agreement in Arbitration

The Miracles Club, a social club for people in recovery from drug addiction on Martin Luther King Jr Blvd. is due to see ground broken on its new facility on the east side of the boulevard soon. In connection with the move, a Good Neighbor Agreement between the club, the immediate neighbors and King Neighborhood Association was in the works for many months. After negotiations broke down between the immediate neighbors, Miracles, and city planning officials last winter, the process was sent to mediation. So far, one meeting has been held between mediators, an immediate neighbor, members of Miracles, NECN, and KNA. A court ruling last year prohibited the blocking of all traffic from the site to Grand Avenue. The working group hopes to identify the remaining negotiable issues and prioritize them so that negotiations can proceed constructively.
