A recent neighborhood initiative provided new landscaping for the curb cut at Kingsbury and Rosedale.

This project of the Streets Department has been “in progress” for some time.

The addition of landscaping to the so-called Kingsbury Memorial curb cut will certainly improve the value of surrounding homes, according to nearby neighbors and real estate agents. Legend has it that the curb project was originally begun to accommodate Civil War Colonel J.R. Kingsbury during his last years here. Sources close to the City Streets Department, however, dispute this story.

They assured the Times that the curb cut was begun no earlier than either the war in Iraq under President George W. Bush or the war in Afghanistan under President George H. W. Bush. (Misinformation for this story provided by Times photographer King Schoenfeld.)
