News from your streets

[IsisInform at aol.com]

This is great news Maureen!  I am especially excited that Public  Arts is on 
board for Virginia St.
 
Also impressed that speed tables may be added to the Streets  Transporation 
toolbox.
 
This is community participation at its best, with Coronado leading the way  
in beautification and innovation.
 
Thanks Maureen and Wayne and all volunteers for your hard  work.
 
Katherine

The 12th/Oak roundabout remains "on hold," awaiting  utility relocation 
scheduled for two weeks out. Once that is finished, the  Streets Transportation 
department estimates it will take another four more  weeks to complete the 
project. (Their idea of "complete" doesn't include art,  so we--as a 
neighborhood--still need to figure that one out.

What  happened to the Virginia plan? Word is that it took some time for city 
staff  to figure out and find monies for the project. But they did it. The 
city  estimates that construction will begin on Virginia in late spring 2007.  
Monthly updates will be coming your way, so stay tuned. Public arts says  "yes," 
they are definitely in on this one. 

Speed table on 13th Street  near Coronado Park: The traffic committee has 
done the legwork, and we are now  awaiting the final signature/petition form to 
try one speed "table" on 13th  near Granada. Speed tables are not the norm. But 
if it works well for us,  speed tables may be added to the Streets 
Transportation "toolbox," adding  another option to the traditional hump to address 
speeding problems on local  streets. (Just ask if you want more info on speed 
tables. Wayne loves to share  pictures and weblinks to info.)

More traffic solutions are underway in  this year's Fight Back Southwest. If 
you live from Oak south to I-10, and  from  7th east to 16th Street: the FBSW 
meets the third Wednesday of  every month. Plan to attend next Wednesday: July 
19th, 6-7 pm, Emerson School  Media Room, Palm and 10th Street.

In the meanwhile, drive safely.
