39th Street Bits and Pieces

An important step has been taken in the Streetscape Project for 39th Street. The first phase of this project will add pedestrian lighting on both sides of 39th Street from State Line Road to Mercier Street. Surveyors finished last week. With this information plans will be made and submitted to Public Works for review.

There will be a general meeting for all 39th Street merchants to attend on October 18th, 2007 at 2:30 p.m. in the Center for Spiritual Living at 1306 W. 39th Street.

The tree wells which were installed last year were never finished. Now we�ve found a crew that will get rid of the weeds and put down weed barrier. Mulch will then be put in the wells and the weed problem will be gone. Also, we are having three new Ginkgo biloba trees installed where they�re now missing. This tree species can be traced back 300 million years!

For all those who aren�t already caring for the area in front of your business please take the time to have the weeds in the cracks killed or removed and sweep up the litter and cigarette butts regularly. Maybe some areas would benefit from cleaning with a hose. It�s your business!
