2 Colors of Paint for You to Vote On

We are talking with both Weed & Seed and the City of Rancho Cordova in order to do a painting project for the ugly cinder block wall on Mather Field Road just South of Croydon Way. Whenever this wall gets tagged, the paint is thankfully covered quickly, but the paint does not match the wall exactly and so the wall ends up looking very blotchy. It is not a good first impression for residents and passerbys. So we figure that painting the wall one color will be a great addition to the look of the area and if future tagging occurs, then the cover-up paint will actually match the color that is used by the City.

We would like to see 20-30 residents gathered together in order to paint, so please don't be shy about volunteering a few hours on Saturday 04/26/08 (the last day of Beautification Week). This is a profound and yet simple way to really help the neighborhood improve. Let's unite and make this happen.

PICK A COLOR: For now, we have two colors to choose from. Now is your chance to let us know what you think about the color section. The City of Rancho Cordova had two potential colors painted on the wall today: "Cement Grey" and "Sound Wall Brown". What is your pick? What will look best. Please see the pictures below or go take a look at the wall in person. Leave comments below, email us through our website at www.cordovatowne.com, or if you are a resident of the White Rock Area, tell us what you think on the e-Group.

NOTE: This post was edited on 03/24/08 in order to clarify that relationship between the City & the County. The post had previously seemed to indicate that the County was in control of graffiti removal, when in fact it is the City of Rancho Cordova who schedules work, patrols streets, and determines response. The City of Rancho Cordova uses the County as their maintenance contractor and so the County performs work at the direction of City staff.
