Dog Park, City Entrance Signage Proposed By Leadership Mtn. Brook

MOUNTAIN BROOK, AL - Imagine Mountain Brook with a dog park, new city entrance signage, a mural in the Crestline neighborhood and a public art installation. Those four project ideas were presented to the Mountain Brook City Council this week by Leadership Mountain Brook.

Students Weesa Keller, Will Krueger, Alice Monk and Charles Nicrosi first discussed the proposed dog park, which they suggested be built at Cahaba River Walk, according to a report by Village Living. From a survey they conducted, 84 percent of the 53 respondents, which included current dog owners, former dog owners and non-dog owners, said they were interested in a local dog park.

Students Ann Inskeep, Megan Sumrall and Ella Lukens presented an idea for a public art installation, which involves pianos placed throughout the community in covered areas. The pianos will come from Mason Music, which has had three pianos donated, and will be decorated by students from Mountain Brook Schools. All will have the same green, gold and white color scheme.

Eric Cordover and Fraley Williams then discussed a Crestline mural, which has been proposed in recent years. The proposed location is the corner of Hoyt Lane and Church Street, and the suggested artist is Mary Grace Tracy, a Mountain Brook High School and Leadership Mountain Brook graduate.

Students Ferris Schwefler and Mary Frances Torbert wrapped up the presentations by discussing city entrance signs. The signs have been presented in the past.
