PHASE 4   IN PROCESS

Crosswalk Safety & Beautification

We are advocating for updated and safer crosswalks at the main pedestrian traffic intersections adjacent to GR Clark school.

THE DREAM   IN PROCESS

Playlot Expansion & Redevelopment

The students of GR Clark have incredible ideas for how to improve their playlot and make it a space for exercise and wellness. We are dreaming of expanding the footprint of the playlot and redeveloping the entire area into a space that benefits Clark and the Island community.
