BSA Hearing re-scheduled

From Westsiders for Public Participation:

As a result of the developers’ failure to consider even minimally acceptable modifications to the proposed “Columbus Village” development, WPP has suspended private negotiations with them and their attorneys.

BSA Hearing Tuesday, December 16th, at 10 AM

Our BSA appeal is now definitively calendared to be heard on Tuesday, December 16, at 10 AM, at 40 Rector Street (between Washington and West Streets), 6th Floor, Room E. The hearing that had been scheduled for November 18 was postponed at our attorney’s recommendation in order to permit time for negotiations with the developers.

Please plan to attend for the purpose of hearing at first hand the expert testimony offered from the community's perspective, and of witnessing the rebuttal offered by the City.

Community stakeholders may offer oral testimony of not more than two minutes, but it will be of primary importance for residents to listen, learn, and report back accurately to friends and neighbors. There will be opportunities for written testimony to be submitted after this first hearing.

Those traveling to the hearing by public transportation may take the #1 train to Rector St. and walk west. An option to travel by private car service will be arranged and announced in a reminder notice later in the week.
