Pickup, Pickup Who's Got the Pickup


Listen up.
We can get those barriers required for closing the street for our mural project for FREE!!! That is, if we can find a pickup to go to Denver and pick them up and return them. Surely somebody can figure out how to find, borrow but not steal a pickup for our project. What do you say?????
Contact Jerrie

YOU and the clean-up/ bike clinic Saturday


Naropa contacted us and asked if their freshmen moving into Snow Lion could meet the neighbors and clean-up the neighborhood as a service project. They have 20 or more students ready to spiff up the place. We are meeting at 11:30 a.m. Saturday in the park next to Snow Lion--19th and Grove.
There will also be a free bike clinic going on at the same time. WHAT A NEIGHBORHOOD!!!
Here's the deal----those 20 eager students can't meet YOU unless you show up. We need to show the same pride in the neighborhood as these freshmen are being asked to express. So put it on your calendar!!!

Good News from Traffic Department!


Bill Cowern, from Boulder Traffic, has determined that we do NOT need to work out a traffic control plan with an independent consultant (big expense) for our Paint the Pavement Project. We will need to rent four Type III barriers and place them as suggested by his department (expense, but not a big one). So we're one step closer to painting the mural.
Tomorrow the design and several of us goss-grovers will be at the Art Council Meeting to get their approval. Wish us well.
Also big thanks to Mindy Hurd, Michelle Bishop and Jerrie Hurd for taking the petitions around and getting more than enough signatures from our neighbors to satisfy city on that regulation.

Google Boulder--Know Someone?????

Michelle Bishop has a great idea. Since our Paint the Pavement Mural is based on Google placing the geographic center of Boulder at 19th and Grove--maybe they'd like to contribute to the effort, with the appropriate recognition, etc, etc. Or at least it would be fun to talk to them.
Anybody have a contact or know someone at the Google Boulder office?????
