Saturday, October 10th, was a beautiful fall day when Coronado and its Council Representative, Michael Nowakowski, came together to dedicate our newest civic improvement, the Coronado Banners. These banners are meant to mark the Historic areas of Coronado Neighborhood and to slow traffic as it enters our Neighborhood.
The banners were 'parented' by 2 Coronado residents, Andrea Delgaldo and Elizabeth Compton, who secured a grant for their design, fabrication and installation. The banners replicate the bungalow logo of Coronado Neighborhood and have been placed inside the entrances to our Neighborhood - off 7th Street, McDowell Avenue, 16th Street and Thomas Street. The streets have also been striped to visually narrow the street.
City Departments of Neighborhood Services and Streets were instrumental in assisting Coronado in obtaining the cooperation necessary to install these banners and the striping, and representatives of these Departments also attended the dedication. Councilman Nowakowski spoke about Coronado's civic pride and determination to secure the installation of the banners, and Jerome Miller, head of Neighborhood Services, spoke about the many discussions his department had about the banners, which are a one-of-a-kind addition to our Neighborhood. 
Coronado has once again proven that we can bring a project from conception to fruition and work with the City for the desired results.
Kudos Andrea, Elizabeth and all the Committee members and City representatives who made these banners a reality. They are a symbol of Coronado's pride in its Neighborhood and its residents.
