I know, I know. Always asking for money. But this one is for the OTHER plaza, at my beloved Q at Parkside. After raising money from Mathieu Eugene's office and getting the go ahead from the DOT plaza program, we're now ready to move forward with the completed plaza. Rudy Delson and team have created a great video to highlight what's going on. They need just $5,000 in start-up cash for maintenance. All the deets are below.
Please help! And if you'd like the learn more, the Parkside Committee is having its next meeting on October 19 at 5pm. Place TBD in this very blog! They're very friendly folks, and they need all the help they can get.

Here is some excellent news. New York City has come through for us. In the spring of 2015, the Department of Transportation will be building us a plaza at Parkside. (And, this winter, they're going to be replanting the trees that never came to life last spring.) One year from now, our neighborhood will have a whole new face ... and benches, planters, shade, greenery, the real deal!

But here is the bargain the city has struck: They'll build the plaza, if we pitch in to maintain it. This means that we're all going to need to chip in a few bucks once a year or so to pay for maintenance and plantings and the like. Our Councilmember, Mathieu Eugene did his part: He kicked in a cool few thousand for the plaza this year. So now we all need to do our part. Can you spare $20? Or $40?
