Background documents (provided as an attachment to this page):
One of NENA’s long-term goals has been achieved! This project—more than
eight years in the making—is the centerpiece of NENA’s efforts to
realize our vision of transforming our neighborhood into a safe and
beautiful place to get active and get connected. The project is funded with monies generated by the OSD levy that passed
in February. OSD estimates the total project will cost about $80,000.
The original estimate, which was developed in 2006 when the economy was
stronger, came in at more than $105,000. These costs don’t include the
$15,000 in grant funding NENA secured to pay for the initial planning,
design and engineering work, and the hundreds of volunteer hours our
neighborhood collectively contributed to this project. If you
have questions about the project, please contact Tim Byrne or Paul
Clark with OSD's Capital Planning and Construction office at 596-8560
or at tbyrne@osd.wednet.edu. Roosevelt Traffic Safety Improvement Documents Sept 2008 Neighborhood welcome sign Status: Installed at the top of the San

corner of San Francisco Street and Pear Court
NENA was awarded a generous City of
Olympia Neighborhood Matching Grant to create a beautiful and lyrical
neighborhood welcome sign that's unlike any you've ever seen. The sign will be a series of steel “reeds” of grass,
each etched with verbs that convey our neighborhood’s vibrancy and
diversity. Thank you to everyone who voted on the verbs included
on the sign! The sign was designed and built by local architect Katie Cox and metal sculpture artist Rus Geh who both live in our neighborhood. Katie and Rus are the team who designed, fabricated and installed the spectacular metal and cedar kiosk at the SF bakery that now serves as our neighborhood bulletin board.
