Maple Ridge Goes Green

The historical neighborhood of Maple Ridge located just south east of the Downtown Loop has plans to go green by adding a new green space park. At one time a house sat on the lot located at 31st & Peoria. The home was moved about a year ago leaving an empty lot too small for infill construction & too large to leave empty. The neighborhood association owns the lot and wanted to create a space in the neighborhood for residents to enjoy. Simple ideas like converting unused space to new parks are exactly the kind of steps that people can take to make a real ecological difference in our community. The parks design includes a gazebo, already underway and a few pathways paved with commemorative bricks. Anyone who would like to be apart on this project can contact the Maple Ridge Home Owners Association for details on purchasing a brick.
