April showers bring Lincoln Square flowers--and lots of them! Although the weather has been a bit chilly, spring is here and our gardens and green spaces have been refreshed with bright seasonal-appropriate colors. Hundreds of fresh flowers populate Dante Park, Richard Tucker Park, our Broadway Mall end beds, and our planters now, with complementary colors adding beauty to our streetscape; tulip bulbs are slowly blossoming and periwinkle pansies contrast the warm colors nicely, plus the crabapple trees in our mall interiors will bloom in the coming weeks. We've even matched our orange flowers to the orange construction-cones scattered around the district! 

Speaking of construction: you name it, and it's happening in Lincoln Square. White and red markings line Broadway with the intentions of remedying ponding issues, while utility work and Wi-Fi installation are happening around the 65th Street bowtie area. We are doing our best to provide top-notch services and attractive gardens all along Broadway even though construction has forced us to move a dozen of our planters, while cones, plastic delineaters, trucks and other construction elements have heavily populated the district since last summer. We are keeping an eye on the construction and anticipate DOT bowtie work will start up again in the coming weeks. These conditions may require us to relocate even more planters, but we continue to plant shrubs, flowers, and other greens each season and remain dedicated to our goal of keeping Lincoln Square clean, safe, and beautiful.
