The Rock ‘n’ Roll half-marathon will take place and have a major impact on our neighborhood on Sunday, March 27. As well as forcing traffic to use neighborhood streets, two area thoroughfares will be part of the half-marathon course. Mockingbird and Skillman are again partially closed on Sunday morning, March 27. Traffic will be slow, and it will be difficult to cross these two streets. It’s recommended that you plan ahead if you intend to drive on Sunday morning. Mockingbird eastbound will be closed between Airline Road (east of Central) and Skillman from 7:00-11:30 a.m. One eastbound lane of Mockingbird will remain open. Skillman will be closed between Mockingbird and Swiss Avenue from 7:00 a.m. to noon. One northbound lane of Skillman will be open between Live Oak and Mockingbird.

May LGNA Membership Meeting
Mark your calendar for 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 18 2010 for LGNA’s annual meeting at A Few of My Favorite Things, the antique and art gallery that doubles as an events space next door to Watel’s World Piece Café. Celebrity chef Rene Peeters will create a sampling from his menu that reflects his world upbringing and travels. The address is 1800 Greenville Ave. at Lewis. Park in the Watel’s-marked parking lot behind Bridgestone on Lewis.
You’ll hear a brief update on Angela Hunt’s proposal for a Lowest Greenville planned development district and have a chance to ask questions. (Related article on the inside.) The Lower Greenville Neighborhood Association annual meeting also includes election of seven posts to the LGNA board of directors.
Gay Hopkins has been nominated for reelection to the board. She has served as LGNA’s president and vice president, and she has been active in zoning matters to protect our residential quality of life. Standing for election to their first terms are Ken Lampton, David Jones, Corby Hankins, Stacey Davis, Debbie Daniel, and John Dailey. The six new nominees were featured in the March newsletter’s Know Your Neighbors. All share a concern and passion for our Lower Greenville neighborhood area. Ballots have been mailed to LGNA members. At least one-third of the membership must vote, so each ballot is important. Promptly marking and returning your ballot will be appreciated.
March 2010 Meeting
March meeting – a chance to help your neighborhood
Every year, LGNA hosts two events that are critical to our neighborhood’s quality of life. Both events involve the St. Patrick’s no-parking signs that help protect our neighborhood Ross to Mockingbird, Greenville to Skillman. This year we will construct and post 750+ temporary signs in the LGNA neighborhood – Ross to Mockingbird, Greenville to Skillman – as well as signs in the Lowest Greenville West Neighborhood Association area bounded by Richmond, Greenville, Henderson, and McMillan.
The sign-construction event took place at the Dallas Police Department Bryan Street storefront on Saturday morning, March 6. The sign-posting event takes place the Thursday evening before the St. Pat’s events – Thursday, March 11 between 4:00 and 7:00 p.m. – at 5843 Vanderbilt, and it will be the official March LGNA membership meeting. Refreshments will be provided by LGNA, Blue Goose, and Capital Pub.
Join LGNA volunteers, Boy Scouts, and Explorers in a fun event that will benefit yourself and your neighbors. Courtesy of LGNA and our good friends at Blue Goose and Capital Pub, refreshments will be served. For more details, email // <![CDATA[
