HELLO FROM CORD
THIS COMING MONDAY, JULY 21ST AT 9:30 AM is the last opportunity to speak out on behalf of the CG Zoning Text Amendment!
This is your last chance to let our City Council Members know how strongly we support this text change which will finally and properly classify and zone the 15 blocks covered in this amendment, as the little side streets they actually are.
(Link to Text Amendment here)
THIS TEXT AMENDMENT, IF PASSED, WILL NO LONGER ALLOW THE BOULEVARD SIZED TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION CURRENTLY PERMITTED ON THESE TINY BLOCKS.
This is the final public hearing. This is the last step we are permitted to actively participate in, within the process. Two days after this hearing, the full council will meet and vote.
So many of you have signed letters of support. So many have taken the time and expressed themselves publicly at the prior hearings required by this process; the community board meetngs, the Borough President's public hearing in May and the NYC Planning Commission hearing in June.
.....Let us not falter now. Let us complete what we have patiently worked so long and so hard to do!
Please come and bring a friend or a neighbor. For three minutes or less, you may read your prepared statement. If speaking out publicly is not for you, you can still show your support by coming out and standing side by side with your neighbors and friends.
If you need any help preparing your statement, please browse thru all the public testimony that CORD has featured in previous blog posts. There are many wonderful ideas that you can adapt to your personal style. Type "testimony" into the search blog bar at the top left of our blog and you will HEAR the voices of so many of your neighbors.
