Kerry Fowler, a Phinney Ridge resident, has put together a SurveyMonkey poll about the frequently-tagged mural on the walls of the underpass on N 63rd St under Aurora Ave N. The introduction to the poll reads: It’s amazing that the mural at 63rd Street and Aurora lasted as long as it did without vandalism. But now it’s an eyesore and it’s time to reclaim that space for our community. A small core of neighbors have come together to make plans for restoration of the walls and we’re soliciting your input.

Sunday Photo: Green Lake’s Engine 16 drives down E Green Lake Drive N

An update on Green Lake Village and east Green Lake’s future PCC
Late last month, we learned that development is finally moving forward at the former Vitamilk Dairy site, a three-acre empty lot of land frequently referred to by locals as “The Big Hole.” The property, located between Woodlawn Ave NE, NE 71st St, 5th Ave NE and NE 72nd St, has been a vacant pit for three years. (You can read more about the history of the project and last month’s announcement here.) Ground breaking for a large mixed-use project, called “Green Lake Village,” is targeted for this winter, and opening is scheduled for late 2013.
