Mayor Lovely Warren will be at Brue Coffee from 8am to 10am Saturday September 24th to hear what our issues are in the area.  I'm sure there will be many issues to discuss.  In the 19th Ward, the start of planning for renovation of School 16 has been the center of a lot of discussion.  See https://youtu.be/yqJ85k2v8x8 .  Fear of delays, caused by differences on the Joint Construction Board, will perhaps be discussed, but a new topic has come up that we should consider.

During the school renovation the function of the current gym and cafeteria may be switched for a variety of reasons.  This would make the new location of the gym ideal for its inclusion in a City Rec Center on the north side of the building. The feasibility of having the City do this should be discussed.  It would help transform 16 into a community school.  More details of this concept can be found in Should a Rec Center be Included in School 16?   

The Mayors invitation is below:

Dear Neighbors,  

Lovely A. Warren, Mayor
