I have not one shred of evidence to support the following notion on this issue:
Could this boundary issue be rising to accomodate a division of Phillips
neighborhood? It is already divided de facto but it could become an official,
Official way of changing Phillips.

<P> About a year
ago Bryn Mawr and Harrison had an interesting
<BR>negotiating meeting to clean up a border that was ill-defined in some
<BR>locations - running through lots and buildings, etc. Most of the new
line
<BR>was decided upon in one meeting by three resident representatives from
Bryn
<BR>Mawr and three from Harrison, and facilitated by a staff person from
the
<BR>city planning department. Everyone seemed to have a little different
idea. I
<BR>was pushing for the use of Bassett Creek as the border as much as possible.
<BR>First we completed the easy sections where all agreed on the creek.
Then
<BR>thru compromise we finally worked it all out. The final line uses a
street,
<BR>RR tracks, creek, and property line. Although part of the subsequently
<BR>published property line section on the east end was a surprise to all
six
<BR>Harrison and Bryn Mawr participants.
<P>I had heard that this Harrison / Bryn Mawr border was the last ill-defined
<BR>boundary to be digitized into the new GIS mapping system, but now it
sounds
<BR>like this was not the case. Southwest Journal did an article on the
Bryn
<BR>Mawr / Harrison border redraw (if this link does not work, search 'archived
<BR>publications' with somelthing like "harrison border")
