1 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 11 , 1992 0 PAGE 12 4 5 6 C. Bowlina Alley Appearance 7 8 Councilmember Fleming had recently visited the Walker 9 Apartments . While there she was advised by some of the 10 residents that the appearance of the rear of the building 11 where the bowling alley is housed is quite unsightly. 12 13 The back of this building is in essence the front yard for 14 those living in the Walker Apartments . 15 16 Some of the residents stated that last year this area had been 17 cleaned up and the brush has been trimmed. So far this year 18 there appears to be no maintenance and the debris and 19 overgrown brush is a nuisance. 20 21 The City Manager advised that city crews had been in the area 22 this week. 23 24 Councilmember Fleming noted that some of the activity which 25 takes place in that area by both adults and children is less 26 than acceptable. She spoke to the Police Chief about some of this activity and he agreed that the height of the brush makes it difficult to police the area. 9 30 Councilmember Fleming visited the owner of the bowling alley 31 to discuss the matter of cleaning up behind the building and 32 that some of the residents of the Walker Apartments are 33 disturbed with its appearance. He responded it is quite 34 expensive to keep this area groomed. She recommended it be 35 done more often and it may not be so expensive. 36 37 Councilmember Fleming stated she is planning to recommend that 38 a mural be painted on the bowling alley building which would 39 make it more aesthetically pleasing to the apartment 40 residents. 41 42 The potholes on Coolidge Avenue and the general disrepair of 43 the streets in the area were discussed. Although there is a 44 "No Thru Traffic" sign posted on the street , vehicles use it 45 as if it were for through traffic . 46 47 The City Manager advised that this street has been included in 48 the Pavement Management Plan. 49 50 •
