More neighborhood involvement came about with the West End Median Mulching & Planting Project when 11 members of the West End Neighborhood Association scheduled weekends to mulch and plant the south median along West End Avenue between Marquard and Greenfield.

They totaled 30 hours, valued at $585. According to Sharlene Moss of the Association, the project has been a continuing success by keeping out the weeds that normally grow in the median, and neighbors, as well as passing cyclists, have made many positive comments on the area’s improved appearance.
