Modernization Plans:
Originally built in 1950, P.T. Barnum will be receiving, over the next several years, a series of renovations. Based on resident recommendations, BHA created a master plan design for the site - a blue print for a more attractive, safe and family oriented residential community. The design includes new exterior stairs, enhanced site lighting, retractable parking guards, new fencing and lots of green spaces and community gathering places. Since kids are only young once, the plan's first phase will create a brand new playground with a summer-fun spray shower.
