Report from John Fall, Chair of Land Use on how to advocate for the Killingsworth Street Transportation Safety Corridors study.
This is the study of traffic along Killingsworth that Land Use and the NECN Livability Committee would like the Department of Transportation to fund this effort in the upcoming budget. This grew out of the neighborhood tours conducted with Debbie Bischoff. John handed out info sheets on how we need to advocate to PDOT. He also passed out information with a web link to enable us to put in our testimony on line about this project being included on the budget.

Pastor Moe re: sale of parking lot
Arvela speaks on behalf of Pastor Moe. The focus is on Social Justice, actively working on the causes of injustice. To work on things that improve life in general. One of the issues that comes up is affordable housing. They are now looking at a developer that has a common mission. She passed out flyers that had a map showing the parking lot that is going to be sold to provide more affordable housing and to give the church more support.
They are doing a parking exchange with the school next door. There were no objections.
Bishop Harry Daniels parking expansion
They have needed more parking for a long time. Existing traffic flow with be the same. Native planting, hedging and fencing will go in. Possibly more lighting will go in. Adding 11 spaces. Some questions, but no objections.
No Announcements or any items to be added to next months meeting.
Next board meeting is April 4th, Wed. evening @ 7:00 @ Lindy and Oma’s
