Park Public Art Project Selected

Congratulations Sandra Perez-Ramos and Stuart Diekmeyer!  The community selected the Gathering Tree artist team of Sandra Perez-Ramos and Stuart Diekmeyer as the finalist for the Park Public Art project.

New USPS Mailbox

October 21, 2019

A new  USPS mailbox  has been installed at the NE corner of Livingston and Newton. Many thanks to the neighbor who proposed this addition!  This mailbox has a new, secure design that prevents thieves from removing items from the box. As a consequence of this security feature, only letters, not packages, can be deposited in this mailbox, which is oriented so that pedestrians can easily deposit mail. 


Pickup time is 3:00 PM Monday - Saturday.
