It looks like the Fremont Troll's turf is getting spruced up this summer. Fremont Universe reports on a recent "Clean and Green" event in the troll's 'hood. Apparently the land surrounding the troll has been overgrown and littered with trash for years, but volunteers and city workers have been cleaning up the space. And neighbors recently got a glimpse of preliminary plans to revitalize the area. Early designs include planters, benches, a community garden and more. The Geeky Swedes also report that volunteers are voting on proposed names. Click here for more background.
Please don't change the actual Troll. I am the sister in law of Mark McLaughlin, the Metro bus driver who lost his life on the Aurora Bridge ten years ago. This was very close to Mark's final resting place and has since been a monument to him. Making the surrounding area more appealing is welcome. Thank you.
