India Point Park ~ Moratorium Hearing

Note: The Providential Gardener will post notices of relevant meetings in the public interest. Send  meeting info.

From David Riley, of Friends of India Point Park (Providence)

Dear Friends of India Point Park,

Providence City Council Public Hearing  next MONDAY, 6/25, 6 PM, Council Chambers, City Hall, 3rd floor (see attached public notice).

   Subject: proposed Moratorium on waterfront development south of I-195, pending completion of the Comprehensive & Neighborhood Plans. This moratorium will give us a chance to plan carefully for the future of the strategically located waterfront between the Seekonk & Providence Rivers.

If ever there was a PRIME TIME TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT for waterfront public space, this is one of those times!  PLEASE come. Everyone will have a chance to be heard.

The area's importance as the gateway to the head of the Bay gives it the potential to be a public attraction with major benefits to the City and the region for generations to come. This opportunity will be lost forever if we allow development to wall off the waterfront and block what will be the city's most spectacular view down the Bay from the new I-195. Hope to see you there!  ~ David
