Resident Julia Nagengast said she likes the greenway idea and believes it will help the neighborhood. We really need these types of move-up houses. If we want people to stay in the city we have to give people the housing they want. However, she s concerned that the neighborhood might get too many townhomes and lose too many of its mature trees, she said. Lind Bohanon Neighborhood Association President Candy Sartell said officials listened to neighborhood concerns and made changes that have improved the greenway project.
People are excited.
The community is starting to get the message that this project will help the neighborhood. We re on schedule and we ve met every deadline. He s heard no complaints from residents, he said. Former project foes are now supporters. Greg Brown, civil engineer with consultants BRW, Inc., said Humboldt Avenue reconstruction will begin in May and will be completed by the end of the year.
