Maria Pellum and Barbara Kerr will be honored at Monday's City Council meeting with a resolution in recognition of their work in bringing the Park Avenue peninsula project to fruition.
The council meeting is 8 p.m. in Municipal Court, 325 Watchung Ave.
Plaintalker called attention to their advocacy in this post, which drew many favorable comments on their persistence in bringing to reality "el parquecito" instead of the plain concrete reconfiguration of the intersection of Prospect Avenue, East Ninth Street and Park Avenue. The "little park" has flowers and historic light fixtures in addition to the basics required by traffic experts.

wow... finally an EASY one by City Council that didn't have to be akin to ripping a molar out.

Both deserve the recognition for their hard work and persistence in getting an appropriate design for the location.
ReplyDeleteApril Stefel of the Van Wyck Brooks Historic District was very involved in getting this done and done right.
