Keeping the Neighborhood Beautiful

How does that Garden and Park at 20th and Grove stay so beautiful?  Thank the folks in this photo (plus Diane and Jon!) for last night's work.  Daniel, Bobby, Steve, Josh, Michele, Rigo, Janelle, Jenny and Nicole all came out to pull weeds, trim spent blooms, water. They make it happen.  Hope you join us next time, Thursday, August 23rd, 6 - 7:30 p.m. (and if not that one, Thursday, September 27th, 6-7:30 p.m.).  Let's raise a toast to volunteers, every single one in every single way. 

Oh, and Portia, the black pup in front, came out to cheer us on.  And thanks, Stephen, for the photo!

One More Reason To Be There Thursday!

Ok, if the last blog post didn't list enough reasons
1 rezoning
2 coffeeshop parking
3 Plan Boulder parking ideas
etc. etc. etc.
HERE's ONE MORE reason to be at the Goss-Grove Quarterly Neighborhood Meeting Tomorrow at 1919 Grove 7 p.m.
City just sent a letter saying they want to change the commuter part of the parking plan in our neighborhood!
WOW! It's all about parking!
Park yourself at the meeting. Besides, we have FUN, FUN, FUN and there's often dessert. I'm bringing strawberry cupcakes.

Big Agenda--Really Big!!

Neighborhood Association Quarterly Meeting is this Thursday!!!! We're talking July 19 at 1919 Grove (Mary Hey and Maria Krenz's home) at 7 p.m. This one is big--we have issues on the table that have the potential to change our current lifestyle--(trust me--not overstated)
1. Final City Council Vote on re-zoning issue. This is the one we've been working on for years. This is the final push. You need to know what's happening and where to show up to voice your support, etc. etc.
2. Coffee shop planned for 19th and Arapahoe has asked for a 75% reduction in parking. Principles met with Mary Hey and Jerrie Hurd last week and left lots and lots of info for us to look at--most of it good/all of it interesting. That info will be available at meeting.
3. Plan Boulder, Community Cycles and eGo Carshare want to reduce parking requirements in Goss-Grove in their continuing effort to make our neighborhood an example of car-lite. We need to decide if we want to be their example, etc. etc.
4. Plus the usual agenda items that are part of keeping a neighborhood running--never small.
YOU WANT TO BE AT THIS MEETING AND THE COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 7th THAT DETERMINES THE REZONING.
