Future Of Barricades Discussed At Rosedale Meeting

April 1989

Historical April 1989 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.

The March 10th meeting of the Rosedale Neighborhood Association featured a progress report from the Barricade Study Committee, which was formed at the organization’s November meeting. (See Barricade Study Report for more detail.) The meeting attracted approximately 30 area residents, who discussed the poll results and passed a motion to beautify the barricades as a project of Operation Blitz, which will be held on April 29 in our area. Catherine Forslund and Dee Joyce-Hayes have agreed to co-chair this effort. Those wishing to help may contact the SDCC office, 862-5122, to volunteer. Prizes are given each year to the best projects within Blitz regions and for the entire city. RNA will be working jointly with SDCC Executive Director, Nancy Farmer, in this project.

Another motion authorizing further study of area traffic patterns was also passed. Bill Duncan, CONSERV officer for our area, presented some additional information about Operation Blitz.

It was reported that Rosedale had donated $500 to the Times of Skinker-DeBaliviere and had a balance of $525 in its account. Nancy Farmer made announcements about two up coming neighborhood events: “DO ART…A Celebration of Imagination” sponsored by the West End Arts Council and New City School will take place Saturday, March 18, 10-4, at New City; and the SDCC sponsored community theatre production is scheduled for May 20. Anyone who is interested in participating in the production should attend a meeting at SDCC, March 22, 7:30 p.m.

The meeting was adjourned at about 8:15.
