It's good to remember often that one of our biggest gifts to each other is our time invested in our neighborhood. Thanks to our good neighbors at Green Lents, we're lucky to have a great tool library at 92nd and Ramona. Have you thought about ways you can show up to help make a great neighborhood?

Hey Neighbors, Metro Councilor, Bob Stacey will be on hand at our next Neighborhood Meeting to introduce himself and to speak briefly what the Regional Government is up to these days. Did you know that every two years, Metro selects transportation projects and programs to receive approximately $60 million in federal funding. The updated Foster Streetscape Plan has received some of this funding. Metro does a lot more and I'll let Bob speak for himself. Emerio Design is proposing a development at 72nd and Steele Streets. A representative from their firm will be attending to talk about the proposed development and to answer questions from neighbors. (See the attached existing conditions map and preliminary plat). Hope to see you.
