​7. General neighborhood updates
The traffic circle at 7th Avenue and 2nd Street (close to Kirkland Arts Center) has been abandoned by it's previous adopter. We need someone (or a group) to adopt it. Can someone please step up to make this beautiful again? It's very rewarding to have people driving by slow down and tell you how much they appreciate you!! Plus it just feels good to make a difference in our community. Contact David Gourlie. [email protected]
