Cheryl offered to liaise with Munroe, regarding possible artists (etc ?) for this arts series. • Lexington's Pocket Park Steering Committee - concept began around 10 years ago with the need to increase safety in back parking lot and Edison Way. Current efforts include making this space a "gateway" to bring visitors in from the bikepath, and provide a nice area to downtown.
