Spring has arrived and the brick repointing has started up again. There’s a notice on the lobby bulletin board with more specifics, but be aware that you may want to cover your windows for privacy. As of this afternoon, there were cables and workmen going past my window on the fourth floor, front side of the building. I might also suggest seeing that your windows are closed during the day unless you’re sure your unit is outside of the work area; the repointing kicks up a fair amount of dust.

Lowell Downtown Neighborhood Association will be having their monthly meeting Monday evening at 7:00 at LTC, 246 Market Street. The minutes from last month’s meeting and the agenda for this month’s can be found at ldna01852.org There’s mention in the March minutes about an interesting app in the works for this summer that will let you know just where the LRTA busses are when so you can time your arrival at the bus stop exactly.

There’s also an announcement at the LDNA site about an Earth Day cleanup this Saturday, the 25th, 8:30 to 11:30. Downtown residents are invited to meet at Mack Plaza and help the Lowell Canalwater Cleaners. For more info, see the link above. And there’s a call out for volunteers to supervise high schoolers for a cleanup on May 2nd as well.

In addition to all that, unless I’m mistaken, there should be a Board meeting at 7:00 Monday evening in the lobby office.  Residents welcome.
