Entrance Columns
A meeting was held on Sunday, Feb. 24. Attending were: Susan Davenport, Lacey Bethea, Carolyn Miller, Madelaine Walsh, Jason Brown, Colleen Blackwell, Joanne Leon, and Laurie Crane as representatives from each of the streets in our neighborhood. Jason presented us with estimates for 4 columns -- 2 at each entrance to the neighborhood -- as well as a design and examples of bricks. We tweaked a few things and he is preparing a drawing and final estimate.

Sidewalk Improvement - ongoing...
Bill Harkins who works for the City is working to find out what we can do about making the sidewalks that feed into our neighborhood from Springhill Ave. bike/wheelchair accessible. Currently they are either crumbled or in normal curb fashion that requires bikers to cut though grassy areas or dismount entirely.
