This Corner Needs Help!

I applied for a Knight Foundation Green Line Grant yesterday to improve the corner of La Salle and University. I think the corner is dull, uninviting and needs more landscaping. I'm hoping they agree with me and grant me some funding to improve the corner.

It definitely needs Something!! Trees, more brick piers, signs, art, bike racks, flowers. Almost anything would help. We need to work to make the Raymond Station area inviting and interesting.

Developments continue in Raymond/University Despite COVID

More apartments are planned for 2225 University Avenue (next to the McDonald's) This is the former site of Paster Enterprises office building. We are excited to see more density for the neighborhood and more residents to support our local restaurants and retail.

Dave Anderson, from All Parks Alliance for Change is one of the 2020 Bush Fellows, 24 visionary leaders who are thinking big about how to solve problems and shape a better future for their communities. The Bush Fellowship is an investment in individual leaders. It provides Fellows with up to $100,000 over 12 to 24 months to pursue formal and informal learning experiences that help them develop the skills, attributes and relationships they need to become more effective, equitable leaders who can drive change in their communities and region as a whole. The Fellowship is distinctive in its flexibility, allowing Fellows to articulate what they need to become more effective and agile leaders.

Liking these benches

I like the benches that Jack and Jim crafted for our building at 661 LaSalle. They look great, and should last a long time outside.
