Community Garden

University Heights Neighbors,
Hopefully, Spring has sprung, and it's time to start thinking about planting flowers and/or vegetables.
The University Heights United Methodist Church is about to break ground on the Community Gardens project on the lot west of the church and east of Bowman (on the alley). They want to create 6 large plots (4'x16') and 2 small plots (4'x8') and would like area residents to become involved to help promote gardening and personal interaction with your neighbors. Rain barrels for watering will be attached to downspouts on the shed located on the lot, so all you need to provide is labor and a few tools.
They are charging a small fee -- just $15 for big plots and $10 for small.Those interested in having a garden or helping should call Ken Hottell at the church at 787-5347 to sign up. You will be asked to sign a rule sheet that states you will plant by a certain time, weed the garden, keep it attractive, and clean up in the fall. Planting dates are May 1 to Oct 31. Since it is raised, it will be easy to reach and take care of. First come, first served.
I've got my name in for one - how about you! :-)

DPW CREWS REMAIN ON POTHOLE PATROL DESPITE THE RAIN

From Gary Loveless, Mayor's Neighborhood Liaison:

DPW CREWS REMAIN ON POTHOLE PATROL DESPITE THE RAIN

INDIANAPOLIS – Today, 19 Department of Public Works (DPW) crews are concentrating on the large potholes that could potentially cause property damage. Once the rain subsides and the streets are dry, DPW will continue to repair potholes on the main thoroughfares and the private contractors will continue to fill the potholes in the residential areas.

The crews are using hot asphalt—this results in a more permanent solution to the pothole repair process. Regional paving contractor Rieth-Riley opened its two asphalt plants on Monday, earlier than usual at the City’s request to have access to the hot asphalt. It’s been a diligent effort with DPW crews completing almost 800 pothole service requests on Monday and Tuesday of this week. The number of potholes represented by each service request can vary from one to a dozen.

Residents and commuters are encouraged to let the City know when they spot a pothole. To report a pothole, please visit

www.indy.gov/pothole. Potholes can also be reported by calling the Mayor’s Action Center at 327-4MAC.

Meeting reminder

Hello, neighbors!
Spring is just around the corner! There are several neighborhood events being discussed as the winter weather fades away, so try to make it to the next meeting on Tuesday, March 15, at 7:00 p.m. in the UIndy Alumni House (corner of Otterbein and Windermire) to learn more. An agenda will be sent out the end of this week.
Have a great day!
