YOUR INPUT IS REQUESTED!

ByDanielle Potter Dague

Our work is not done! On Saturday, August 14, On the Boulevard Day engaged individuals, families and businesses to give their voice in defining the current conditions and needs of the people living, working and doing business along E7th Street.

We asked individuals and families walking, biking and strolling along E7th street to take a brief survey to help identify the current conditions on E7th Street AND WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! Please take a moment to fill out the quick survey HERE at https://arcg.is/beD1z0. Your voice is needed to help implement improvements to this high-risk corridor.

We know that change is necessary to reduce the speed and fatalities along E7th Street, as well as increasing the utilization of this boulevard to one that is livable, walkable and accessible to all!

We greatly appreciate all of our wonderful volunteers, partnering organizations and programs. We also thank the participating businesses Stephanie’s Beauty Salon, Babou Screen Printing, Heritage Sandwich Shop and Daisy’s Flowers. We invite other businesses interested in a rose to reach out to Resident and Artist Cody Lusby and Roses for Rose Park.
