In the 1990s and 00s, a Whelan Ave. neighbor planted the land strips on her own, with no supervision or help. It wasn't until late in her residence that some young person repeatedly drove their car over the garden. It was filled with perennials and bees and other pollinators. I hate being one to recall "the good old days" as such, I just point out that nothing is new. I hope this garden is able to grow and flourish.

Love the new project! Curious as to why the plan didn’t include a path that would allow people walking south on Cleveland to enter the tip of the garden at the shortest, and safest, crossing distance. Then the walker could enjoy the entirety of the garden until they came out at the now much safer crosswalk at the roundabout.

Is Gotwald the pastor who kicked out Circle School?

I don't know about that but since you are making what sounds like an accusation you should be more specific and support the statement rather than engage in innuendo. That would be in keeping with the Comments policy here. Thanks.

He was dead by then. The school was displaced recently.

I've only heard rumors, so I don't feel comfortable saying anything for sure.
