Bob McMahon/Parks Dept. have started construction of the new walking path and ballfield at Davis Park.  Coming soon, solar lighting and black iron fence along Chalkstone. 

Christine, President of PC’s student environmental group recruited about 15 students who finished painting the front fence at Fargnoli Park.  Looks great and thanks so much to the student volunteers!

A few of us met with Amintha Cinotti from the Providence Planning & Development department and will soon have information to pass along to Elmhurst businesses regarding the benefits of establishing a merchant’s association. 

A beautiful new ‘Elmhurst’ sign for the Eaton/Smith island has been designed and will be made by our member, Larry Pavese.   It will be installed early next spring.  Anna and I planted some tulips and daffodils around the monument so it should look nice!  More landscaping in the spring as well.

Several people questioned why trees were cut down on the Parkway.  We have found out that they were diseased.  Heidi is working on applications for obtaining free trees from the City.  We will be looking for volunteers in the spring to help plant them.  

Speaking of free trees, Dec. 1 is the deadline to submit applications for free trees for neighborhood streets.  All that is needed is 5 neighbors per street to agree to have trees planted in front of their homes and to help plant and water them.  If you are interested, you still have time!    Please visit the Providence Neighborhood Planting Program’s web site for more info at www.pnpp.org.  Folks, these are beautiful, tall, mature trees of many different varieties…not little saplings!

We will soon start planning next season’s farmers’ market.  It will be much bigger and even better than our first.  If you’d like to be on the sub- committee, please let us know at contact@elmhurstcleanandgreen.org.

We would like to see some holiday/winter decorations on Smith St.   If you have any ideas or contributions or can volunteer, please also let us know at our contact address.

Our next EC&G meeting will be held on Tuesday, December 8 at 7:00pm at PC’s Feinstein Center, Room 405, 4th floor.  Please see our map of PC for location.

As always, thank you for your support, and best wishes to all for a very Happy Thanksgiving!
