Adrian Street Problems[IMAGE]
Adrian Street neighbors appealed to the West 7th/Fort Road Federation for help, as their neighborhood was choked by dust, dirt and debris from the Victoria park soil remediation project. Conversations with the City resulted in promises of more care and concern for the rest of the project.

West End Community Gardens Need Your Help
[IMAGE]
Lori Harris has devoted countless hours to the Cliff Road beautification efforts that in 2010 succeeded in restoring and enhancing the beautiful bluff top stretch between St. Clair and the High Bridge. She is now in “desperate need of help. Many of the people who were involved last year have elected to move their alliances to the West End Community Garden. The four remaining stalwart participants are not able to maintain the gardens, given the time constraints we all experience. I need many new participants in order to make it work.”


A community effort beautified Cliff Road.

She is therefore inviting those who love to garden but have no garden of their own to join the project. She says, “It is so rewarding to experience the gardens when they are developing and well maintained.” Lori is convinced that a small but regular time commitment from many could give the desired result: pleasure for the gardeners and those viewing the gardens.

For a modest investment of time and energy, help maintain and improve a real community asset. Leave a message at 651-665-0068 or e-mail lkharris1@yahoo.com.
