Oak St. Apartments.

[Jo Clute]

I have recieved some great private responses to this issue.   The plan of attack I have to is to to offer to build a 3 foot "meandering" wall-bottom half block for sustainability, top half rod iron, to prevent loitering on the block wall with pedestrian gates.  This will do several things..keep the parking and car partying out of oak and out of site.  It will hide the trash from our sight.  It will be architectuallly unique and soften the look of the barracks.  It will also keep children from running into the street.   I will also offer to paint the oak side of each apartment different vibrant colors with artistic touches.  And place a few concrete tables and benches for picknicks between the fence and the apts so people don't need to put their couches in front to sit on. I estimated the total cost to be around 12000.  That is 1700 per apt or 570 per dwelling unit. 

In the meantime, if you drive by oak, neighborhood services should be called if trash or blight, the owners should be called if you want to vent, and 911 needs to be called if you see anything "suspicious"  You must use the word "suspicious" otherwise they will get to it when they get to it.

the only thing that would hold up this is if ALL the owners don't want to do it..

Any other comments or suggestions?
