Why don't you throw me an e-mail and we can discuss it further.The Woodlawn Wonderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10438857335793360301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15514376.post-53042419788796430152007-11-05T11:34:00.000-06:002007-11-05T11:34:00.000-06:00How did you go about it?

Our block club is trying to become more active, and encourage attendance, and I would love to have good suggestions for how to improve our streets.Nathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04751508928253660102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15514376.post-57602777447180657422007-11-02T08:45:00.000-05:002007-11-02T08:45:00.000-05:00Nat my friend,It took three long years of question...Nat my friend,<BR/>It took three long years of questioning & working to get this far. Frankly, if it weren't for the generosity of 5th ward alderman Leslie Hairston, this sidewalk wouldn't of happened at all. The school across the street always talks a good game about being a good neighbor but from my personal perspective have done little to back that good neighbor claim up. <BR/><BR/>They've already been saved a substantial amount of money by the city, let's see if they actually follow up and do the next section of sidewalk (from Blackstone to Dorechester) sometime before I hit menopause.The Woodlawn Wonderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10438857335793360301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15514376.post-60427857112698839992007-11-01T15:52:00.000-05:002007-11-01T15:52:00.000-05:00Nice!

I can't wait until they get around to working on Marquette heading East towards Stoney Island, there are so many stretches where to call it a sidewalk is just not right. It'll happen, so much is changing in Woodlawn.Nathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04751508928253660102noreply@blogger.com
