In an effort to quell the impact of tens of thousands of St. Patrick’s party-goers descending upon Lower Greenville residential neighborhoods on March 17, the Lower Greenville Neighborhood Association has been working since October with event organizers, City departments, and other neighborhood associations to achieve significant results.

No-parking signs will be placed on parkways Thursday evening (24 hours prior to the event), but parking restriction does not go into effect until Saturday morning. A note to residents: Remove your car from the side of the street with signs before Saturday morning, March 17, and tell your neighbors to do the same. Cars parked in violation of the no-parking plan will be towed. There will be no exception for residents.

Working with the city, LGNA delivered an information sheet and a detailed map of the parking restrictions to all residents in the LGNA area. Click on either of the images below for more information.

Saturday, December 17, brings an opportunity to boost your holiday spirit.  Once again LGNA will be collecting Christmas goodies for the firefighters at Station 17.  It’s our way of saying “Thanks for watching out for us.”  Bring your cookies, brownies, or any other holiday treats – either homemade or purchased – to 5843 Vanderbilt between 10am and 2pm.  We’ll assemble a basket for each of the three shifts and deliver the baskets that weekend.

The White Rock Marathon will be winding its way through Lower Greenville on Sunday December 4th. The route goes down Matilda, up Swiss Avenue and back across Ellsworth. As longtime residents know, this boxes in our neighborhood and makes getting in and out very challenging for the day. Please be prepared for delays.

Many of our members have expressed concern about the sightings of wild animals such as coyotes and foxes and reports of pet mutilations in our area.  This photo of a pair of foxes was taken in the alley behind the 5100 block of Vanderbilt.

Greenland Hills Neighborhood Association has extended an invitation to a joint meeting on Tuesday, December 13, at 7:00 p.m. at Unity Church on Greenville @ McCommas.  The speaker from 911wildlife.com will give information about ways to eliminate foxes and coyotes and how to keep pets safe.  Vickery Place NA and Wilshire Heights NA have also been invited. Parking is limited, so allow yourself a little extra time.
