At least a dozen neighborhood associations in the Valley have set up World Wide Web pages.
They include:
--> The North Canyon Ranch Owners Association Web site, www.digiserve.com/ncrhoa, covers the area bounded by 35th Avenue, 40th Lane, and Pinnacle Peak and Happy Valley roads. In addition to providing local news, visitors can submit their opinions on issues affecting the area.
--> The Sunburst Farms Homeowners Association offers details at www.vmkgroup.com/SunburstFarms about the area bounded by 39th and 51st avenues, Acoma Drive and Paradise Lane. The neighborhood has 634 properties that are 1 to 5 acres in size.
--> The Rancho Encanto Neighborhood Association offers detailed information about several city programs, including Block Watch, at www.goodnet.com/(tilde)ej17975/. The neighborhood is bounded by Bell and Greenway roads, Interstate 17 and 35th Avenue.
--> The Cactus Village Community, www.goodnet.com/(tilde)billbo/cvp.html, offers crime statistics and a detailed map of the neighborhood, bounded by Cactus Road and Sweetwater, 43rd and 51st avenues.
--> Phoenix resident Richard Fox has a page, cyberdome.netvalue.net/rogerup/myhome, that offers links to other neighborhood pages, including one for Phoenix's historic neighborhoods, Historic Heritage Square and the Phoenix History Museum.
--> Phoenix at Your Fingertips, at www.ci.phoenix.az.us, offers neighborhood information and links to six neighborhood association pages in northwest Phoenix, including that of Councilman Dave Siebert.
To get to the neighborhood links, click on Welcome to City Hall, then Elected Officials, City Council Profiles, District 1 Councilman Dave Siebert, and finally, District 1 Neighborhoods. That will take you to a map of northwest Phoenix where you can select information about specific areas.
--> Glendale's city page, www.ci.glendale.az.us, offers information about neighborhood associations but no links to individual pages.
