Thurston County Food Project – Pick-up August 12

The next Thurston County Food Project pick-up is coming up on Saturday, August 12. Please place your green bag on your porch by 9:00 am and your neighborhood coordinator will pick it up.

The suggested theme for August is foods for the backpack (4Kids) program – stocking up on easy to open / easy to prepare foods (foods that can be prepared by kids).
Wondering what the Food Project is and how to get involved? Learn more here, or contact Whitney at 360-556-0337 or wh*************@***il.com.

Bike Corridor Pilot Project

Just in from the City of Olympia,  Michelle Swanson 

The project is going to begin construction in late April. We will be notifying affected property owners along the route, but I wanted to make sure you and your neighborhood association knew about it, too.  The route will go from Lions Park to Sylvester Park downtown.  We’ve updated our website to give people some quick information about the project.

You might recall that the project will be to add special signs and pavement markings to some quiet, small streets in the neighborhood. We will also be making some changes to three intersections – which are shown on the map – so it will be easier for people biking and walking to get across the streets.

We’ll be having an Open House about the project here at City Hall on March 30th from 6:00 pm until 8:00 pm. I am also hoping to have a Saturday meeting at Lions Park in early April. I’ll send separate, official invitations to both events as they draw closer.

hank you!
