A habitual car thief with 4 arrests is thought to be responsible for the car thief at DesPeres and Delmar. Major car repairs are taking placing in the north alley – 5900 Waterman. Cars are parking at the end of the DesPeres in the circle making it difficult of cars to maneuver.

She is in the hospital. Juanita keeps in touch with her on a daily basis. METROLINK WALL – The wall put up is not the same as originally designed and presented. Only the side of the wall facing Catlin tract is designed. Dan received 50 responses (11 + 39) reflecting a 20% response to an email he sent out updating residents about the wall.
Residents of Skinker DeBaliviere are concerned and do not find the wall as installed to be responsive to what they were originally presented. Motion made to write letter was seconded and approved with 1 abstention. Discussion followed.
Some thoughts were to ask Metro to provide mitigation for what’s there, at least make the wall all the same color; demand Metro install any planting on North side of wall; also would create a sound barrier.
Also request Metro to assume responsibility for maintenance. 2 people complained about bill board on condom ad promoting HIV/AIDS prevention awareness campaign.
