Thanks to the Green Committee
At least two grant applications have been turned in by Jefferson Park residents for water harvesting. Erin has asked that her property along Vine be added to the Vine Avenue Green Corridor with right-of-way water basins. Joan H. has requested
water harvesting on the north side of the school
on behalf of the International School. Thank you neighbors for making a difference!

July 25 - Grant Road Coalition Meeting
Central Segments 6pm Ward III Office
|
Click here
for a map of the landscape proposal for the blocks from Park to Santa Rita parcels provided to us by David Burbank, TDOT director for the Grant Road Project. You will see the alignment moving from 6 lanes back to 4 at Santa Rita and the positioning of the sidewalks and the landscape.
Jefferson Park is asking to be able to place native plants north of the alley to provide some visual mitigation while we await the return of the construction in 2021-23. Five to seven years is significant growth on mesquite trees!!
