Materials for the June 10 E-G Neighborhood Council Meeting

The Emerson-Garfield Neighborhood Council meets tomorrow (Wednesday, June 10) at 6pm in the Corbin Senior Center (827 W Cleveland). Unless the council votes otherwise, this will be the last meeting before the neighborhood-wide Summer Potluck on August 12, so it’s a good idea to attend and keep up to date on all that’s happening before the summer hiatus.

Sidewalks on North Maple

Sidewalks on North Maple

The Office of Neighborhood Services has passed along a preliminary design for the sidewalk through the traffic island on North Maple. This, you might recall, was the barren, City-owned property where volunteers from the Emerson-Garfield Neighborhood Council planted trees in 2014 and, more recently, EGNC volunteers planted yucca and juniper as part of the citywide Greening Grants initiative.

E-G Highlighted in Spokane Coeur d’Alene Living

Last month’s issue of Spokane Coeur d’Alene Living magazine had a great one-page writeup on Emerson-Garfield highlights in their “City Trek” series. Manic Moon & More, Azars Restaurant, Tossed and Found, 4000 Holes and Corbin Park all get some love. Their May issue is now the current one, but you might still be able to find a print copy here and there around town. Or you can check it out in their digital issue.

The Emerson-Garfield Neighborhood Council meets this evening (May 13) starting at 6pm in the Corbin Senior Center (827 W Cleveland). Apologies, by the way, that this announcement with meeting materials is delayed by about 24 hours. We had some last-minute additions to the agenda. The guest speaker this month is the Spokane Regional Clean Air Agency. They’re going to provide some background on their organization and address any seasonal or persistent air-quality issues in Emerson-Garfield and Spokane as a whole. Then we’ll move into finding a…
