Take a Seat!

Volunteers of NWONA installed four new benches and several new plants at the Pocket Park (Corner of Thomas and Madison/ across from Garfield playfield) on Sunday. The benches were built by Kahlil Provo.

Question for the Neighborhood

I attended the nearly 12 hour long appeal of the development at Harrison and Division.  Considerable discussion was given to the concrete "Jersy" barrier that juts up out of the ground about 2 feet back from the steet along Divison.  My question is: Does anyone know what that was for at one time or the history of why it was placed there?

It is too far from the steet to protect anyone on the Harrison sidewalk and a car would have to drive comepletey through the utility pole to hit the barrier.

Just wondering?  posted by Steve Conway
