SYRACUSE, NY- The Eastwood residents met last night to discuss projects and propose ideas for the overall appeal of the neighborhood.
The community leaders aim to enhance the neighborhood with "Welcome to Eastwood" banners, new plants and new benches. Art projects are also being proposed to display around the neighborhood's parks among other public places.
Andy Maxwell, Senior Planner of Community Development, calls the public art a "Beautification project."
"Sometimes public art is way to kind of mix that up and provide a different, unique way to beautify some of our public areas," said Maxwell.
The Eastwood Neighborhood Association schedules the events for the neighborhood.
Additional projects and scheduled events for the area including free concerts this summer and a race through Sunnycrest Park. In August, a flea market will roll into town as well.
Over 30 community members attended the meeting put on by Tomorrow's Neighborhoods Today. TNT is a program that divides Syracuse into eight regions and holds meetings for the improvement of each of them separately.
