FOLLOWUP: Unanimous Council approval for Orchard Street Ravine expansion acquisition

Quick followup on the city’s planned purchase of a parcel expanding the Orchard Street Ravine “passive park” in Gatewood – the $235,000 purchase, to be funded by Park District levy money, just got unanimous final approval from the full Council. The 5600-square-foot parcel at 7137 38th SW, on a slope past a dead end (shown on this map), currently holds a dilapidated house that will be demolished, with an additional ~$125,000 to be spent on that and other costs. Full backstory is in our two previous reports – here and here.

    Yay!  We just walked it on Saturday after learning from  WSB that it’s nearby.  A sweet little park, and good exercise to walk up that hill!

    Congratulations. Any word on the additional land donation?
