The NENA Board regularly meets on the

Saturday, June 10, 10 to 1 in the Roosevelt multi-purpose
room
We've prepared
a list of supplies we're collecting to use on June 10 to
create designs and models. If you have any of these materials
but can't come to the workshops, please
e-mail
pguttchen@hotmail.com
if you'd like to arrange to
drop them off.
Notes of appreciation...
This project is a partnership between Olympia's Village
Improvement Project and NENA. VIP is a very committed group of volunteers who have devoted their time and creativity to bring
place-making to Olympia. NENA is grateful for their
inspiration, passion, and expertise, and their willingness to
join with us to make our neighborhood and the entire Olympia
community a better place to live. Their tenacity and hard work—from their
efforts to gain City approval to their work with other
neighborhood associations and community groups—paved
the way
for this unique and exciting opportunity. None of this would
have been possible without them!
Thank
you, too, to the San Francisco Bakery and Eastside
Co-op for their generous food donations!

- If you missed the May 9 cutoff
to complete this survey, that's okay. We really
want to know what you think about this issue, so please
feel free to complete our
survey
today!
We
will use your input to come up with options to improve
the safety of this neighborhood hub.

Reeves
Middle School Connector to East Bay
- BIG
NEWS!!
-
Miller Ave. sidewalk from Fir St. to Friendly Grove
-
This is
our top-priority
project--making
it safe for students to get to school and all of us to get to
Friendly Grove Park!
The goal is to be
in construction by mid-July with completion in late August.
Although there are right-of-way and other challenges, we are
optimistic that the sidewalk will be built before school begins in
Sept. 2006, and Reeves students start attending John Rogers while
Reeves is remodeled. This project was originally
scheduled to be completed after 2012.
-
Given design
challenges for the hill up from
East
Bay, the current plan
calls for building the sidewalk from Quince to Garrison in 2006,
and completing the project down to
East
Bay Drive in
the near future.
-
The first
meeting of the core planning group was held on March 23 and work has begun
on creating a base map of the property. After a base map is complete,
we'll reach out to the neighborhood to begin creating a vision and developing a plan for the MCR. Stay tuned...
