Train Station Revitalization Project

Thursday, October 21, 2010

After a public meeting in early September it was brought to my attention that the Train Station in Western Hill was an area of deep concern for Western Hillers. Residents mentioned how they felt like it was neglected, over-grown and attracted unwanted activity.
Within the meeting I asked what types of projects residents would like to take on and the strongest response was their desire to do something tangible, achievable and practical. They wanted to put their energy and resources into something that they could actually see happen and that could actually create change.
From this meeting and the comments and suggestions made I would like to suggest a Train Station Revitalization Project. I have done some background research and would like to invite the residents of Western Hill to come and talk about the possibilities and the potential ways the Train Station can be given a face lift of its own.
Come out to a Public Meeting on November 2, at 7:30 p.m. at West Park School to discuss how residents of Western Hill can take ownership of this corner of their community and make it a place they are proud to call their own.
Start the conversation now. What would you recommend to happen with the train station? What projects would you be willing to contribute to? Leave a comment to have your voice heard.
