November 2015 has been a landmark month for my own Overland Park Neighborhood Association.  Rotating teams of neighbors led by our Directing artist, Michele Brown and our RNO President and team co-ordinator, Mara Owen worked long hours to complete phase one of the Evans Bridge Beautification project, EBB. (You may not know that Overland Park was divided into four quadrants by the Evans Overpass, which lost us over one hundred dwellings and created walking difficulties within the neighborhood). It has been our aim for some time to stitch ourselves back together with art and logical transportation, such as walking routes. The addition of the Evans Light Rail Station has lent impetus to our neighborhood’s rebuilding efforts and sense of direction. The creation of the Levitt Pavilion in Ruby Hill Park makes the Evans bridge a natural conduit for walkers between it’s concerts and the station. Our City Councilman, Jolon Clark, has worked to get state-of-the-art traffic signage at the top of the overpass, which is being installed now.
