Neighbors – please join us in person for the May Highland Park Community Council meeting! This month we will be gathering at the Bryant St. Parklet as we welcome spring and get the scoop on programming and special happenings around Highland Park coming up this summer!🌞

We will also be celebrating the HPCC’s new official ownership of the Bryant St. Parklet, ensuring it will remain a green space for the community. 🌳💚

As part of the HPCC’s role as the Registered Neighborhood Organization (RCO), when there are projects in the neighborhood that meet certain requirements set by the City, we host public Development Activity Meetings (DAM). We’ll be hosting such a meeting this month:

• Project Description:  The Zoo proposes to build a new barn for giraffes and other large ungulates. There would be an exterior viewing window similar to the elephant barn. The giraffe yard would be reconfigured, and the pedestrian path around the facility altered.
• Meeting Date:  Thursday, May 8th at 7pm
• Venue: Zoom (register by clicking here)

Because this project involves construction within a City park, it must go before the Public Art & Civil Design Commission (PA&CDC). They plan to break ground by the end of the year.  At the meeting, the project manager will share preliminary site plans and renderings of the project, and there will be time for attendees to ask questions and provide feedback. City Planning will provide the PA&CDC a summary of the meeting, and the HPCC will send them a letter about any public concerns, or lack thereof. Individuals can also submit feedback or concerns about the project directly to the PA&CDC.   

Join us on Saturday April 26, 10am to 12noon to get a firsthand look at the state of Highland Park in Heth’s Run while helping with a cleanup. Meet @ Heth’s Park (past the ballfield) – no RSVP required!

Wear sturdy shoes, preferably waterproof, long pants, and take tick prevention precautions.
