Several Buena Park neighbors have taken the initiative to clean up and beautify some of our neglected parkways. If you pass by the intersection of Belle Plaine and Clarendon, Brennamann School or the southwest corner of Buena and Broadway, you will notice how lovely and colorful the parkways look. We are encouraging anyone who enjoys gardening to join in and claim a parkway for their own. BPN wants to thank Ken Gasper, Shannon Davis, Rachael Lewis, Rex Moore, Christina Bies, and Cesar and Jennifer Pacheco for doing such a great job on these parkways.We love this idea and urge Uptowners with green thumbs to unofficially adopt a parkway and take care of it. We've seen the beautiful results at Leland and Malden, where

Hello, does anyone know what the music was for at the lake today? Is there some event this weekend?

I completely agree on the need to fix this intersection, but I'm not sure such a restriction on turning southbound traffic will do the trick. I hate the current system as if you are making a left from WB Montrose onto SB Broadway you have to deal with the oncoming traffic and its longer green. Accidents galore.
The proposal to change that intersection by Bike Uptown is nothing short of brilliant.
ReplyDeleteThe traffic would flow better, especially on Montrose, it would be safer and a plaza as a bonus. Hope it happens.
