Join us for the Lyndale Neighborhood’s Association (LNA) Annual Meeting on Monday, June 24th at Painter Park. The Annual Meeting is a great chance for you to hear about everything LNA has been up to this past year and see what is ahead for next year.
At the meeting we will be presenting Luther Krueger and Brenda Sauer with this year’s Lyndale Community Service Award. Luther is one of the founders of the LNA’s Crime and Drug Committee, the Lyndale Walkers, and a leader on helping to make the neighborhood safe for over 20 years.

Reconstruction Continues
Upcoming construction schedule, weather dependent.
Thomas and Sons has begun with the subgrade grading and adding gravel work on the north end of the project area and will work south. They will begin some concrete work this week or early next, this would include installation of some of the bus pads.
Businesses are open during construction and local access to business and residential driveways will be maintained. However, it will change based on the type and location of the work being done.

There we were at the Neighborhoods USA conference. LNA Board member Eric Perich and I were up front with all of the other finalists, standing in front of an entire conference room full of people involved in neighborhoods from across the country, waiting to find out if we were going to be the Neighborhood of the Year.
Just as all the finalists in our category were getting settled in up front, looking around at each other trying to figure out what was next, we heard our name called, much earlier than we wanted to - which meant we didn’t win and were just a finalist this year.
