Long-term, the arts corridor encompasses ideas about a covered structure for the arts/farmers' market and festivals and painted crosswalks as part of the Gilbo Ave./Railroad St. corridor plan. Now, we have a chance to make it happen! A covered area, etc. could be integrated into the grant funds the city is currently applying for - no additional funds would need to be raised.

Advocate for Your Local Parks with These Strategies

Public parks are invaluable additions to many communities across the U.S., but unfortunately, they are often underfunded or aren’t maintained the way they should be due to a lack of city or state employees. That’s why so many citizens have become public park advocates, ensuring that their local spaces are safe spots for people from all walks of life. If you’re interested in becoming a park advocate, it’s important to keep a few things in mind, such as how to volunteer your time or recruit members of your community to help keep things looking nice. You might even start a public project at your favorite local park, such as a community garden.
