Spring is here! Neighborhood associations are planting flowers and trees all over the West Bluff and Second District. I hope to see some of you at the Great American Cleanup Events this Saturday.
I will be delivering two Mayoral Proclamations at Dayspring Park this Saturday, to acknowledge all the work done there by volunteers and the Nolans.
Columbia Terrace North NA continues its great efforts. Bernadine Nolan deservedly won the Ted Bannon Brick Award!!!!
Conrad Stinnett and Bernie Goitein are indefatigable in their quest to reorganize Calvin Coolidge and Whittier Schools into K8 schools. I believe they are getting a meaningful dialogue going on both sides of Western Street.
Signal optimizers are about to be installed to better move traffic throughout the West Bluff. Metrics will then be done again.
Uplands leaders and PW Staff are working with me to see if new water pipes for the 400 homes (there) can continue to be served by new pipes in reconstructed green alleys. This will require special permission from the IEPA.
Exciting new vibrancy continues with new business initiatives along the revitalized West Main Corridor, drawing attention in a recent Journal Star business article.
New suitors have stepped forward to acquire Washington School.
The Randolph/ Roanoke area needs extensive repair of their lights. Two new LED bulb colors are available. They will soon decide what hue they want.
Congratulations to Marilyn Trinder for earning the Mayor’s Award for her many years of service to the RR neighborhood and our entire community. I am pleased with progress occurring in the West Bluff. We have a District second to none!
As always, it is a pleasure to serve you!
Best, Chuck
