Meeting Minutes
Attendance: 35 Members, 2 guests
Meeting Minutes: Motion made and passed to approve September’s meeting minutes.
Announcement of Reception: To be held immediately after at the Eisenberg’s.
Treasurer’s Report: Current balance is $5923.02.
Neighborhood Report: 3 new banners were hung and 2 were repaired, Thanks to Jim, Mark and Vern. They are looking for adequate poles to mount remaining banners. Jim Martin continues to repair and replace bricks throughout the neighborhood. No tenants yet for 145 University Ave. We are hoping to get all neighborhood properties up to code. Emails with concerns sent to Mike Patterson Councilmember for our district don’t seem to be effective.
Security/Safety: Barb Wager reports there has been no serious crime in our neighborhood. Incidents of car break-ins have increased since the end of the Red Shirt Program. Chris of Downstairs Cabaret said they have had problems in their parking lots. The possibility of forming a PAC Team in the neighborhood was brought up. If anyone is interested please contact Barb Wager. There was a case of vandalism behind Charles’ and William’s house. A youth set a trash can full of leaves on fire. The fire department responded quickly. Safety concerns were voiced around the day care drop off area at Windsor and Main. Erik Frisch Transportation Specialist with the city evaluated the end of Windsor for possibility of speed bumps.
Beautification/Artwork: Installation of the artwork on the front of the Martin’s home facing University Avenue has begun. Home properties purchased a sculpture for the public pocket park, part of their development, hopefully to be installed in the next 3 weeks.
City Engineer Jim McIntosh spoke to us regarding plans for the north side of the inner loop. A study needs to be funded and completed to before anything is decided. There will be public input much the same as there was with the current project. He also updated us on the status of the current project’s traffic changes and proposed development projects along that corridor.
There will be a meeting Monday October, 24th, 5pm at Suzanne Mayer’s, 121 University Avenue, to hear Andrew Gallina’s proposal for Parcel 5.
Sandy Shapiro gave an interesting talk on the history and some of the famous residents of our Grove Place Neighborhood.
Respectfully Submitted,
