Spruce Street Median

Something we can all share!

On Saturday, April 19, 2006, the Spruce Street Squad Crimewatch and Keep Indianapolis Beautiful will partner to beautify the median located at the intersection of Spruce Street and Pleasant Run Parkway South Drive. Volunteers from the neighborhood will work from 9:00 AM to 12:00 Noon to install the landscaping features outlined in the plan which was developed by the group and professionally enhanced by a landscape architect selected by Keep Indianapolis Beautiful. Landscaping materials used in this project will be provided by Keep Indianapolis Beautiful through grant funds provided by an IPL Project Greenspace Grant.

“Since this median acts as an entrance way to the Spruce Street neighborhood, beautifying it will help to increase and promote awareness about quality of life,” says Shirley Ooley, Spruce Street Squad member and project promoter. Once the project is completed, The Spruce Street Squad will then be responsible for maintaining and watering of the median.

The project will involve about 15 to 20 volunteers from Spruce Street and the surrounding area. Box lunches will be served to all of the volunteers and a comfort station will be set up at the site. Other light refreshments will also be served to residents who just want to stop by and visit.
