SPEEDBUMPS
Improving the Hood
one pile of asphalt at a time
If you live in the Dimond/Laurel Districts of Oakland or attend the Fruitvale
Presbyterian Church, the faith community I serve as pastor, you may have noticed some recent construction and changes. On Rhoda Ave. (near the church) the city of Oakland added some speed bumps last week. Check out the photos if you like. Arthur White, a neighbor of our church, and the ringleader for the Rhoda Ave. Neighborhood Watch Group that meets regularly in our church space succeeded in a communal block effort to get some speedbumps on their block of Rhoda in order to slow things down. Kudos to him 
and everyone who worked for so long! Who would have thought that it would take nearly 2 years to get two street-width piles of striped asphalt installed. Thanks for the perseverance and good humor! Plus it looks great!
