I am pleased to announce that Councilman Len Bodack assisted in the approval for a community grant to be used for new Highland Park neighborhood signs. The announcement was made at last night’s Highland Park Community Council meeting.

The grant awarded totaled $ 8,000.00 and we are starting the process now to have signs installed this spring. The new signs will be cedar with 14k gold lettering on a black background. The script will reflect the neighborhood’s Victorian housing stock.

Len Bodack’s office was very efficient and pro-active in addressing this request that had been brought up to me by various neighborhood members.

Thank you to the neighbors who took the initiative to make the request, Monica Watt for assistance with design, Councilman Len Bodack along with his assistant Mary Kay Abdulovic, City Council members who approved this initiative, and Council Budget Director William Urbanic for all working to make it happen.

These signs will help to bring new attention to our thriving neighborhood.
