September 17 - More upgrades to IST from Banner
(J. Daniels)
|
| Beautification and repairs are still underway at the International School. September 17, a group from Banner will install raised beds in the garden and on Oct 18 (possibly and Oct 25) they will remove the existing deteriorated rubberized floor under the large play gym and replace it with an 11" bed of wood chips. These improvements benefit the school as well as the entire neighborhood as the playground is a City Park after school hours. |

Park Avenue Enhancement Meeting for your Questions
Thursday, October 13, 6pm, Ward III
|
Neighbors have expressed concerns about the now completed Park Avenue Enhancement Project. In 2008, five neighborhoods; Feldmans, Jefferson Park, Mountain/First, Hedrick Acres, and North University wrote a grant sponsored by the City of Tucson. It was specifically for "provision of facilities for pedestrian and bicyclists, and landscaping and other scenic beautification".
The project manager, Gary Wittwer, will be meeting with the contiguous neighborhoods Thursday, October 13, 6 pm, Ward III, 1510 E Grant . Neighbors can visit jeffersonpark.info to see the Summary of the 2008 proposal, the cost bid sheet, and early images of the proposed project posted under the "projects" tab for Park Avenue Enhancement Project.
