Who Are We? We are the Lansing Community Action
Association, (LCAA), one of 19 Neighborhood Associations
officially recognized by the City of Salem. Although Salem
Neighborhood Associations are recognized by and receive staff
support from the City, they are wholly self-directed. Each
Association sets its own agenda and determines its own course
of action. Neighborhood Associations have legal standing in
all land use matters within their boundaries and are asked by
the City and other jurisdictions to comment on a variety of
matters important to the community.
What is the purpose of
a neighborhood association?
To promote community planning through
Neighborhood participation
To advise City Council and City Staff on
planning and environmental issues
To promote the livability of the
Neighborhood
Who can become a member? Any resident, business, or property
owner between I-5 and Evergreen Avenue and between Market
Street and Silverton Road is a member, and it costs nothing to
join!
In addition to discussing issues of concern to the Lansing
Neighborhood, a board of committed neighbors is elected to
vote on issues of importance to the Neighborhood and submit
those decisions to the City or other agencies.
Addressing your concerns Neighborhood Associations create their
goals and activities based on the interests of neighbors and
the needs of the Neighborhood. We work on crime prevention,
traffic solutions, and safety issues. Our Association has
supported youth programs, planted trees, promoted neighborhood
clean-ups, and built walkways. People who care about our
Neighborhood have cooperated on worthwhile projects and gotten
to know their neighbors better.

What's in
it for you? Neighborhood Associations are a vehicle
for getting things done. If you want a say in what is
affecting your neighborhood, Lansing Community Action
Association (LCAA) has far greater power to effect those
changes as an advocate for you before Salem Police Department,
City Council, Planning Commission, and other official bodies.
