Greenspace

Myron Griffin, Greenspace chair, was interviewed yesterday on Bay News 9 regarding his committee's Seminole Heights Trail project.  The interview takes place in Southeast Seminole Heights (SESH) where that association has worked with the city to install a sidewalk up 12th street from MLK to Hillsborough.  Myron's vision takes that single stretch of sidewalk in SESH and expands it into a network of sidewalks linking all of Seminole Heights--our shops, parks, the lake, the river, and each other.  All three neighborhood associations--Southeast, South, and Old Seminole Heights have written letters of support for this vision.

OSHNA's Greenspace committee chair Myron Griffin showed up in the Tampa Tribune advocating for the Seminole Heights Trail project.  A small piece of the article quoting Myron:

The Patterson park playground dedication picnic couldn't have happened on a nicer day.  Thanks to the hard work of OSHNA's playgroup committee, Old Seminole Heights has a new children's playground at Patterson park.  The mom's got together and organized a great picnic to celebrate.  

This was a kid-centric event and nearly half the attendees were knee-high to a grasshopper.  Also being celebrated that same day, the new OSHNA Springs Restoration Project got its kick-off.  Did you know there's a natural spring right there in Patterson park?

Tampa City Council approved Code changes last week that will enact new irrigation days for locations in Tampa on the same day as the time change.
