North Delridge Neighborhood Council: New leadership, & more

From left, leaders of the North Delridge Neighborhood Council elected tonight – co-secretary Holli Margell, co-chair Russell Ehrman, (continuing) co-chair Jay Mirro, co-secretary David Ellinger. At tonight’s meeting, they heard from Randy Engstrom of Youngstown Arts Center, wearing a hat as interim director of the Food and Fitness Initiative; he talked about the outreach to stores such as the Super 24 – the newly painted mural is part of that (here’s our August photo):

Point of the outreach is to bring healthier food to Delridge even without a conventional grocery store in the area, and they’re working with Super 24 to get it going. Another big topic: The latest on how to get city money for street projects, as explained by Delridge’s Neighborhood Service Coordinator Ron Angeles. Eight projects are proposed in the NDNC’s area, and the group needs to prioritize the list and get it to the Delridge Neighborhoods District Council by November; that council will have an SDOT rep at its next meeting (10/21) to discuss street-project funding. Then NDNC leaders/members will take a walking tour of the proposed project sites on 10/24, 1 pm, followed by discussion at Olympia Pizza. One more note from tonight – co-chair Mirro talked about the Duwamish Alive! fall cleanup event coming up 10/17, one week from this Saturday; he is steward of the Brandon Street Natural Area, which is one of the work areas (nine in all, with two others in West Seattle – Roxhill Bog and Herring’s House Park – plus Alki Kayak Tours leading a waterborne crew on the Duwamish) – go here for more info, including how to volunteer.

The North Delridge Neighborhood Council meets 6:30 pm, first Wednesday of the month, usually at Delridge Library.
