Everybody seems to think it was a great success. For those who missed it, here are some pictures of the children taking over the street (click on image for gallery view), the great food, neighbours meeting each other for the first time after many years, the large gazebo adventure (3 x 9 meters), no problems with Strawberry Fair parking, excellent signs, and some street cleaning exercise. Someone even talked about the first weekend in June for next year.
So what is next? Perhaps we should put all the email addresses into a proper email list where people can opt in and out (if you have never received an email from us, please write to gardenwalkparty@gmail.com and we can include you). This way we can stay in touch, react to issues as they occur, and combine our resources. Volunteers needed who know how to manage such a list or Google group.
Road audit:
Michael Cahn (#77) would be interested to invite everybody to a "road audit": Walking the street from end to end and documenting issues and ideas. This is a good way to see how we can address some of the issues that were mentioned: Especially traffic and parking. He invites everybody for Saturday 16 June, 10 am, at the corner of Victoria Rd. [
Postponed to Saturday 23, 10:00 am]
Oh yes, that errant lawnmower, broken, back from holding up the "Road Closed" sign, it wanted to disappear in skip where it did not belong. Now that was not nice!
