(Oh, but you can rest assured that the paving will be of the *green* variety!)

Message forwarded from Friends of Starkweather Creek:
Hello,
Two proposals exist for use of the Garver building at Olbrich Garden:
1. Arts Incubator; 2. Green Building Sustainability Center.
The use will impact adjacent land which currently functions as
wildlife habitat surrounding the Garver Building - the junction of
the two branches of Starkweather Creek. This land is intricately
linked to a chain of wetlands and open spaces running all the way to
East Town! Some of these lands are rare, remnant fen communities.
Want wetlands paved as plan proposals call for?
Friends of Starkweather Creek (FSC) will host a forum as part of our
annual membership meeting to examine specific habitat, watershed and
watershed education related issues of the Garver site on October 25th
with guests representing both proposals (Commonwealth Development and
Paul Davis Restorations (the Barnsdale Group).
Thursday, Oct 25th, 6:00 PM - 8:30 PM, in the Upper Meeting Room of
Olbrich Gardens, 3330 Atwood Avenue (snacks, drinks included).
Also on hand will be city staff to discuss ongoing Starkweather
projects. These include the current work along the Worthington
Park/SASY creek border, other bike and trail work, wetland and
habitat restoration, and options for future watershed improvements.
When will we convert the Dempsey Drainage ditch into a green space
instead of a concrete corridor, for instance? Never, if we can't
rally a public to insist it is a priority!
We need your voice, input, and presence. We really do. In order to
have a legitimate voice in common, we need to offer our voice in
discussion and support.
Please attend the Friends of Starkweather Creek annual membership
meeting on Thursday, 10/25, 6:00 PM - 8:30 PM, in the Upper Meeting
Room of Olbrich Botanical Gardens.
Come and hear the latest about progress on restoration, trails, and
other efforts to improve Starkweather Creek. Learn how to get
involved. Enjoy delicious refreshments.
Thanks.
