Its recently come to our attention that many people are curious about
the construction work going on at the traffic island at 45th and
Baltimore Avenue.  We want to take this opportunity to provide some
information about the project.

The project has two main goals:

1.  Improve pedestrian safety  accessibility at the busy intersection
of 45th St., Baltimore Ave., and Springfield Ave. 2.  Improve the
appearance of the area.

The project is a joint effort of the Philadelphia Department of Streets,
the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, Baltimore Avenue in Bloom,
UCGreen, and the University City District.  Collaboratively, these
groups worked together to redesign the traffic island such that
pedestrian crossing distances and visibility would be improved, while
simultaneously enhancing the green characteristics of the island.
Interruptions in the bike lane are only temporary during the
construction period, and the removal of the trees was, unfortunately,
necessary to achieve the joint greening and safety improvements.
However, the island, when completely finished over the next two months,
will feature dramatic increases in planted area, a doubling of the
number of trees, a resurfaced sidewalk running between two planting
beds, and will absorb 100% of the rainwater that falls on it.

All of the partners who worked on this project expect that the new
island will represent dramatic improvements in safety and streetscape.
If you have any questions, please call Eli Massar at 215-243-0555.

RE: [UC] best pizza joint that delivers

2004-03-17 Thread LowryV
We have never bought pizza from the Wurst House but until last Fall always had good 
Italian hoagies from there, but since then they have changed their ingredients or 
something because they are not as fresh or tasty.  However, their BLTs and Reubens are 
wonderful.  For pizza we like Allegro, Colonial and Fiesta.

I recently swore off the Wurst house. The pizza was always pretty 
nasty, although the strombolis weren't bad. Problem was they just kept 
messing up the orders. Often, I'd get there to pick up, and they'd have 
forgotten the order, or burned it and started over. While I waited, it 
seemed like the delivery guy was always showing up and telling the boss 
that the people he was delivering to weren't there, or claimed they 
hadn't ordered anything. A few minutes later the people at the correct 
address would call to find out where their pizza was

I've switched to Royal for strombolis, but the answer to the quality of 
pizza question seems to be that there is no good pizza in West Philly! 
All of the places mentioned seem to make the oily, undersauced, 
soggy-crusted 'Greek style' pizza. I think Pizza Rustica at 36 and 
Chestnut is the local best, in a highfalutin kind of way, but we don't 
seem to have a really GOOD parlor.
Of course, I'm defining GOOD pizza as the thin-crusted floppy NYC stuff 
one gets at Lorenzos on South, or Marios in Mt. Airy.

Thank you Matt!  The Friends of Clark Bark is a membership organization with
no paid staff.  The money it raises is plowed back into the Park.  Everyone
who uses the park is encouraged to join for the low rate of $5 to $25 per
annum.  Our annual meeting is this coming Monday at 8pm.  I believe it is in
Rosenberger Hall in the park, but the board may have arranged to use the
larger hall across the street at USP.  Notices of the meeting details are
posted around the park.  Someone from Morris Arboretum will be there to make
a presentation about trees.  All are invited, welcome to come, join, vote,
discuss.  PLEASE DO COME!!!  Thank You.
P.S. I'm a dog owner, mother and user of the park, and I'm a Friend.

Matt Gruebel, asked me to forward his response.
He is a friend and I am anti-plan, but we are friends and neighbors
and can trust each other to share views, even opposing views.  Even
though I am against public bathrooms, I am generally very grateful to the
friends for maintaining and the park and promoting youth programs and
other events.
Below is Matt's answer to specific questions regarding what the friends
do.
The friends do much more, for the park and for the neighborhood.  Busy
people, the Friends of Clark Park are often found helping other
community organizations including Spruce Hill CA,  Town Watch, Gardening

Subject: Clark Park Answers. RE: (was) Illegal drugs, truly filthy sex
and FAIR PLAY

Dear Liz,
One of my neighbors forwarded to me this post from a Mr.
Ellingsworth
to the list-serves.  I did not see his e-mail address, but if you have
it, or wish to forward this to the same list-serves, perhaps that will
be helpful.

Mr. Ellingsworth  Others in the Community,
As a Board Member of the Friends for three or four years, I can shed
some light on the questions you ask.

 What is it again that the Friends of Clark Park do?

A. My understanding is that the FoCP was formed by nearby residents in
the 1970s to do whatever they could to make the park better. When I
joined, they had established some contacts and were able to co-ordinate
city services for the Great Leaf clean-ups, get some services when they
weren't happening, as well as supporting some of the small events like
Veteran's Day.  More too, but that's the type of stuff, plus the
children's soccer program.

 
 I see workers cutting the grass, but I assume that they are from the
 Parks department.  Is this correct?
 I know that one of the young men from MOVE voluntarily walks through
 the park after weekend events, cleaning up debris left over.  Is he a
 Friend?  (He is definitely friendly.)

A. Mike is a great guy, and done a great job for 3 or 4 years now. He
actually works for the Department of Recreation, part time, and only
half a year.  The position title is Summer Maint. Attendent. The Friends
have tried to supplement the salary of the SMA, and we voted to boost
the amount for Mike this year.  
 
 I see trashmen removing trash; not sure where they are from.  Are
 they the Friends?  UCD?

A. Yes, no, maybe.  Lots of folks I use to see picking up trash in the
morning.  I used to pick out of 43rd street all last summer.  But Mike
does most of it.  Last summer Recreation assigned Mike another park for
two weeks, and boy it showed!  He is supposed to co-ordinate with the
Rec trash truck so they don't have to drive through the park.  Lou used
to be able to get the Streets Department send a second truck for
pick-ups at the end of the week.  Now, the UCD has a contractor, and its
a part of his contract to remove the trash on Thursday or Friday while
Rec's truck comes on Tuesday.  
Last year the UCD did not send their own crews into the park.  This
year I've seen them there, but whether that is official or not, I don't
know.

 I see that the flag pole in the center of the park NEVER has a flag
 raised on it.  Should the Friends do this?

A. Should as in could?  Sure.  If the board really wanted to.  Big
expense would be installing the rope.  The there's the matter of
maintanence, and lighting, etc, etc.  But if people really wanted to,
there is no reason why not.  Most of the Friends time and money has gone
ot other projects however, and even there, it has not been enough to
compensate for the neglect.  Last year, it was Mike who fixed the
basketball hoops on his own accord, and got some used nets.  The fence
has been in for repairs for ?? number of years.  Last
