Goss-Grove Neighborhood Association
Minutes of April 14, 2011 meeting
Six neighbors met at the home of co-chairs, Jerrie and Jon Hurd.
The minutes of the January meeting were approved.
Jerrie and Jon reported on the February meeting where Rich Points presented to the Naropa people and Martha Raskowski from the city’s GO-Boulder program the proposal to change the islands that currently block car traffic in the neighborhood to make it easier for bikers to go through. The proposal includes changing the traffic light on Arapahoe from the middle of the block to 21st Street, which is already used by Naropa students and neighbors.
Neighbors are concerned that these islands not be changed too much, allowing bikes to zoom by and giving up green spaces. We agree, however, that the bike crossing spots in the islands should be modified so that a bike with a cart in the back can pass through easier.
Upcoming meetings with the city regarding zoning will be posted on our blog.
Several people showed up for the weeding of the 20th Street park and the garden plots are starting.
An article appeared in the paper about the pavement mural in the Martin Acres neighborhood and that the city is considering applications for permits in other neighborhoods. Jerrie suggested, and everyone heartily agreed that this would be a fun project for Goss-Grove and enhance our image as a neighborhood. Since the current geographic center of Boulder is by the 19th Street pocket park, this would be an ideal place for a mural. Jerrie will follow up on this.
Jon went to the city meeting regarding Boulder’s updated flood zones map. Computer models are much more accurate than they were when the map was last drawn. Goss-Grove was not affected by the update.
Next meeting of GGNA is on Thursday, July 21st.
Respectfully submitted,
Maria Krenz, Secretary
