Don’t forget to swing by the community association office tonight for the March CYCA general meeting. Refreshments and mingling start at 6 and the meeting starts at 6:30.
Stoy Bailey from the Rozelle Annesdale community, our neighbor just west of McLean, will talk about their plans for street improvements on McLean, including bike lanes and cross walks. He will also talk about a grant from the Urban Art Commission to install a sculpture at McLean and Lamar and a 2009 Strengthening Communities Grant that was used to come up with plans to increase walkability of the neighborhood.
See you there!

Input, feedback, and questions for the mural are requested by artist Carl Moore. E-mail him and check out his webpage.
