Luminaria!
Stop by today (Saturday) and buy your luminary kits. We're selling them up by the arches on Bayview from 10 am until 2 pm. $5 for 6 bag/sand/candle kits. Then join us tomorrow night from 6 to 9 for the party!
Someone, Please clean up the signs on the telephone poles from the luminary! They are beginning to look ratty, and don't add to the ambiance of the neighborhood.
Thanks for the reminder to tidy up! in that spirit- the CoJ has had crews measuring and surveying Bayview between the schools and Birkenhead. and what's going on up at Lexington and Blanding where Don's music and pawn has been partially demolished? Anybody shop at the Oriental Food store or know when the restaurant will open?
Hello All! We just moved near Cookie Bokay on Harkisheimer at Saint Johns Avenue here in Lakeshore South near the Cardinal Park & kids playground at Sefa Circle and our family wants to be a part of your huge community yardsale this year ;] tons to try to get rid of! Our neighbors are trying to turn the Shelby swing sets into a picnic pocket park with benches and a pavillion soon next year with fund raising! Also, when is your next Pier clean up day? We want to join LAPS and help in making this area even better than it already is because we love our new home! No meeting this month? We were married at the LSWC! small world. bicycle VS traffic 101 class on January the 14th! Where? so much to put on our calendar!

Yeah the bBbusRraces ARE crazy on Bayview! the speed humps have helped two busy streets but I wonder what the city will do to fix the hidden stop sign at Manchester ?? At least One kid has been struck crossing on his bike that I know of .. .but he didnot lose his life.. carpoolers, Delivery drivers go the wrong way up Bayview often. loaded school buses do also! and as stated by the city : the intersection geometry has been in place for so long that the public would not be served by such the expense of simply adjusting or correcting the signage! baffling! Drunk drivers have knockedout palm trees and ricocheted off these telephone poles between the Brooks, Hills, Rickers, Stanleys, Woodeds and the Crofts for flying in and out of this double school zone for years.
It becomes apparent that there are still so many issues to address. This is the reason this blog and LAPS specifically is important. I realize time is an issue with everyone and getting involved and being active is really a commitment. Please join us in atleast voicing your opinions, thoughts, and ideas. I can assure you, all ideas are considered and listened to thoughtfully. Ask anyone who has approached us with their concerns. We truly try to improve the quality of your life in this neighborhood. I take great pride in the fact that all concerns are addressed and handled to the best of my abilities. Whatever you consider to be important for your specific situation, please let us know. It can not hurt to ask for some help or even information.
Every month we report all of our streetpole light outtages (usually 20 or more!) from Snug Harbor, Chucks Boatyard, Criswell Park, Radio Lane, south and east to include the surrounds of the Cedar River Club, Marina Mile and Roosevelt Mall area around Chamblin. We are growing and NEED more block watchers, folks. Even if unable to volunteer, please leave a light on and come meet a neighbor at LSWC January 24! THEIVERY HAS NO HOME HERE!
anyone know who we need to send our condolences to? a driver of a white pickup died in a T-bone crash at LakeShore and Harvester today! just saw it on the news... people need to slow down! this is awful. Red Buick enclave driver at StVincents. nonserious injuries. driver of white truck flipped onto driver side! this is just aful. sorry for your loss. wish I knew who to pray for.
The young man who was a victim in that crash , which killed him is named David Jordan. He was a friend and died Friday afternoon, December 31, 2010. He will be missed. Rest in peace. http://www.news4jax.com/news/26333778/detail.html
Drove by the sight tonight and I was quite surprised to see teenagers on their bicycles stopping at the memorial left on Lake Shore. Tends to renew your faith in humanity.
There seems to be ambiquity as to exactly where Lake Shore's "territory" is but here is the main areas we are concentrating our efforts: the river is our main border, sort of a peninuslar including Lake Shore Blvd. & Roosevelt Blvd. up to Lake Side Park (which on original plats was called Lake Shore) crossing over Blanding down Lake Shore to Shirley Ave. and ending with the intersection of Park St. & Blanding. We welcome any surrounding areas to attend our meetings and offer any suggestions that would benefit all of this general area. LAPS has just adopted-the-highway from Birkenhead to Alpha on both sides of Cassat Avenue as well as our existing adopt-a-highway site at Lake Shore & Roosevelt (the half bridge).
We had a great meeting this week that was lead by a presentation by Cheryl Abbott from St. Johns River Water Management Division. She gave a presentation on water wise landscaping and sent us home with a great deal of very useful information. Thank you Cheryl!
There is a home at the corner of Jersey and Cambridge that has an awesome yard always in bloom with little or no turf maintenance 8] Fortunately, we have a lot to work with along Blanding Blvd from Park St. to Hyde Park Rd.
HAMILTON/JERSEY OUTFALL IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT: Estimated construction Start-April 2012 Estimated Construction Completion-December 2012. Phase 1-secondary outfall with new 60" pipe (relief line) to begin on Hamilton near Sunderland, running to Cambridge and then Lake Shore and emptying into the river at Lamb's Yacht Center Phase 2- neighborhood improvements to alleviate any further flooding problems not handled by outfall ex: storm grates. Phase 3-retention pond adjacent to existing Jersey "ditch", or as COJ calls it "channel".
who is going to pick up the plastic bags full of sand from the luminaria kits behind the Break shop. It really looks bad. Shame on LAPS for leaving these here
Please forgive our forgetfulness + thanks for the reminder about the sand for next year! > also, will the Fremont/ FDOT pond grow in size down to the corner of Sunderland and Hamilton?
I too realize this was a problem and it has been on my "to-do" list but have other obligations but it did not go unnoticed. I appreciate the fact that you atleast noticed and felt compelled to say something. My wish is that we had more people who were willing to help out for all aspects of our activities. Thank you for your continued interest.
FIVE american DOLARES for SIX bag lights!!!!

Death is a terrible surprise, but I hope you do get to see your friend again oneday.
ReplyDeleteDrove by the sight tonight and I was quite surprised to see teenagers on their bicycles stopping at the memorial left on Lake Shore. Tends to renew your faith in humanity.
ReplyDeleteWhat are the official boundaries of Lakeshore? Not sure if I am considered part of the LAPS neighborhood or not.
