Planning Team to Meet July 11The Planning Team will meet July 11, 8-9 PM, HPUMC, 4001 Speedway. This is immediately following the Steering Committee Meeting. We will be discussing a potential schedule for proceeding with rezoning the area of our neighborhood north of 45th to 51st and between Guadalupe and Red River. Anyone interested is invited and encouraged to attend.

To put it bluntly, our alleys are beginning to turn into a jungle. In order to tackle this problem in typical Hyde Park style, we will need to get organized to most efficiently clean up our alleyways. The first step is that I will be driving through the alleys with Mr. Rhodes from the SWD to identify the worst situations and to prioritize them for cleanup. The second phase, and this is where you may come in, is to organize an elite crew (historically known as the Alley Cats) that has the know how, the spirit and pride in the neighborhood that we will need in order to fix this problem.
While it is each property owner's responsibility to keep the vegetation in the alley pruned back, we will need the more public spirited (and physically fit) to come forward to fill the gap left by inaction. If you have a pickup truck and/or a chainsaw that runs, you are automatically accepted into this crew. We will be having delicious refreshments (probably BBQ and suds) for those that accept this challenge.
If this sort of mission intrigues you, please send me an e-mail to: breeze99@texas.net or call me at 452-3850 for more info. We should be forming up this team by mid-July. I'll be keeping you posted on how we do.
