The new board of the Uptown Planners met last evening at the Joyce Beers Community Center. New officers were elected (Chair Leo Wilson, Vice Chair Janet O’Dea, Secretary Andrew Towne and Treasurer Roy Dahl).
The first issue focused on Olive & Third land that was given to the city in 1909 for use as a park, but for years has been privately used by a local doctor. Descendants of the donor couple spoke passionately about returning the land to public use. Other agenda items included a city presentation about Mission Hills sewer lines, a development at Fifth & Thorn and preservation of an historic home on Falcon Street.
