Ken Henning would like to invite Elizabeth King, who was Miss Burbank 1948, to come to a meeting to speak to the BVNA.
Nick Bui is interested in finding out how to get trees planted on Laswell. The street is very wide, but has not parking strip between the sidewalk and the street. Perhaps “bump outs” can be created and trees planted there. Perhaps “round-abouts” can be planned for the intersections and trees planted there also. It was suggested that Nick start by talking to his neighbors to see how many would be interested, then look into the possibility of getting grant money for the “bump out” and/or “round-about” construction. Our City Forest can be contacted to get the trees planted.
It was suggested that a small download-able PDF file be created with information about the date, time and location of the next BVNA meeting. Loui Tucker said she would get the flyer made and make it available on the yahoo group documents section and on the BVNA website.
