RRNA Board Special Meeting: Park Reach (Hike and Bike Trail)

October 30, 2008
7:30 pmto9:00 pm

I write to remind you of the Board Meeting on Thursday evening, October 30th, at 7:30 PM at the Lions Club Field House. This does not change the regularly scheduled meeting for November. This meeting is to update folks on the current state of the planning for the Park Reach (aka hike and bike trail). No other items are on the agenda and I would like to remain focused on this narrow task. As there is a Reinvestment Zone meeting (see attachment) that same night at the Witte, we will begin the RRNA meeting at 7:30. Richard Reed

October 16 Board Meeting Highlights

From RRNA Chair Richard Reed:

1) In a summary of preliminary plans for the Fort Sam Redevelopment Plan, made to City Council last week, the team contracted by the City proposed “upgrading” Mulberry from Broadway to 281 to make it the major route from Fort Sam to 281. The plan is very preliminary and the meaning of “upgrade” is not spelled out, but after consulting with a traffic engineer, I am told that this MIGHT involve: 1) raising speed limits, 2) increasing from two to four lanes, 3) closing feeder links to the Park or the neighborhood, and/or 4) redesigning the intersections at North Saint Marys and Broadway. Most of the attention given the community aspect of this plan is in assisting the neighborhoods on the east side. This redevelopment is several years off, but I think we should be out in the front on it.

2) The Board voted to reaffirm its support for placing the hike and the bike trails being planned for the Park Reach of the Museum Segment of the river redevelopment along Avenue B. The exact wording is spelled out in the Minutes, which are available from Anne Larme for electronic review.

Annual River Road Porch Sale and Fair

October 11, 2008toOctober 12, 2008

The Annual RRNA Porch Sale and Fair will be October 11 (9 AM-4 PM) and October 12 (9 AM-2 PM).

For newcomers in the neighborhood, the annual event is sponsored by the River Road Neighborhood Association as its only fundraiser but is really more for fun than funds. It offers residents an opportunity to hold a yard sale without having to get a permit or do their own advertising because the association does that for them and, of course, charges a small fee. To enter the sale, one must be a member of the association. Annual dues of $5.00 per residence are due every March at the annual RRNA membership meeting, but those who don’t pay at that time can do so at the fair. Volunteers walk the ‘hood making those collections. In addition to the yard sales, the weekend has become more and more of a fair with other activities on the agenda.

More details about the yard sale and fair will be forthcoming as they develop.
