Abutting neighbors to this section of the street have always been amenable. With COVID restrictions lifting, neighbors are excited to gather again. The street closure allows us to do so with greater safety and allows the neighborhood children a larger play area.   Financial benefits:  Since COVID began, we have several new home-owners or renters in our neighborhood. This will be a first opportunity for us to invite them to a larger gathering.
