Thanks to the Community Design Center and its participating young people for planting the Suburban Avenue planters on Friday June 19! Council President Kathy Lantry was able to find some funds to award to the CDC so that plants could be bought, planted, weeded, and watered this summer. This is a great project for young people and a huge benefit to our business district.
HOWEVER, money for upcoming years is not guaranteed or even likely. So what we need is for all our residents who value this project, when you visit the local Suburban Avenue businesses, ask to speak to the manager. Then tell the manager that you live in the neighborhood and you hope that they will contribute $100/year to pay for the planters to remain.
If we don't let them know this "amenity" makes a difference, they won't chip in their fair share. The businesses benefit from having an attractive streetscape, they should pay to keep that streetscape looking sharp!
So thanks again to the Community Design Center and to Councilwoman Lantry's office!
