Neighborhood Updates:
- On Saturdays in April and May, you may see the Coalition's special Healthy Housing Team members walking blocks around the parks and the Greenwalk sidewalk path connecting them. They are sharing information with neighbors on how to create strong blocks and collecting ideas and concerns neighbors may have. You can't miss them in their fluorescent yellow vests! Take a minute to share your thoughts if you see them.
- Bike racks are now available at 3 locations in the green space at 81st and Troost. Thanks to AARP for allowing the Coalition to purchase the racks through their Active Living Grant Program! Kudos to KC Parks Department staff for installing them so quickly.
- The Marlborough Community Center will be closed April through August. Some of their regular programs will be held in Swope Park and others at the South East Community Center. Call Director Oliver Hurd for information - 816.513.7800.

- May is Bike Month! Watch the Coalition's Facebook page for details about a May 24th, 1-4 pm Bike Rodeo for youth. There will be free bikes, locks, helmets, and lots of fun in Arleta Park that day!
- Calling all volunteers for litter and trash pick-up on May 1st, 8 am - noon to coincide with the opportunity neighbors have to drop off bulky items, tires, and limbs at 85th and Paseo or 80th and Chesnut. We'll provide gloves, grabbers, bags, and a location to tackle. Volunteers from the KCMO Parks Ambassador program will be working on the north edge of Marlborough Park along Wabash. again.
