Roosevelt School Parking Lot Improvements
OSD recently approved the parking lot redesign that we've been working on since 2006. Now that we have formal support from OSD, we are working to get funds to complete this redesign. Go to the June 08 archive for details!
Graffiti Update
Thanks to the hard work and responsiveness of our many partners, more than 100 taggings in our neighborhood have been eliminated since we started this effort last fall. The success of this effort shows the power of community collaboration to solve what appear to be intractable problems. Get involved by taking digital photos of any taggings you see in our neighborhood and posting them on our "Graffiti Busters" blog. Go to http://www.xanga.com/signin.aspx and sign in using username: Nena_Oly and password: adrian.
Our next meeting was held on Wednesday, July 23 from 7 to 9pm, in Cheryl and Doran's backyard. We finalized plans for our September potluck, discussed developments on the walkability front, and explored how we can attract new Board members and volunteers. 
We will NOT be having a board meeting in August.
See you at the potluck!
