Marathon Alert!

The Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon will be impacting our neighborhood on Sunday morning, March 24. The half marathon will begin in downtown Dallas and head north through Uptown and Park Cities, entering the LGNA area at Greenville and Martel. Street closures in the LGNA area will be between 7:00am and approximately noon, and they may affect exit from or access to your home on race day..

All of Greenville Avenue will be closed between Martel and Mockingbird. At Mockingbird the route heads east, and there will be only two lanes for vehicle traffic. It will be difficult or impossible to cross Mockingbird between Greenville and Skillman. At Skillman the route turns south toward Swiss Avenue. Only one lane of northbound traffic will be open on Skillman between Live Oak and Mockingbird, and again it will be difficult or impossible to cross.

Competitor Group, sponsor of the Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon, have provided a course map and detailed road closure information.

MARCH MEETING – A Chance to Help Your Neighborhood

Once again, the Lower Greenville Neighborhood Association will construct and post 750+ temporary no-parking signs in the LGNA area, Greenville to Skillman and Ross to Mockingbird, as well as on several streets west of Greenville. Neighborhood volunteers are needed to assist in sign construction on Saturday, March 9, at Tietze Park pavilion between 9:00 and 11:00am. Dallas Police Explorer posts will help us with the sign-construction. If you have hammers, please bring them.

The sign-posting event takes place on the Thursday evening before St. Pat’s, March 14 – beginning at 3:00pm and continuing until we’re done – at 5843 Vanderbilt. It will also be the official March LGNA membership meeting. Plan to arrive any time after 3:00 that you’re available. We particularly need drivers to transport the teams of Explorers and adult volunteers that will be going out to post signs. Bring hammers and/or mallets if you have them.
