Good news!
Comprehensive Plan passes first vote with unanimous support
We are pleased
to report that the new Comprehensive
Plan passed with a 12-0 vote by the City Council. Included in
the vote was the Upper Wisconsin Avenue designation for mixed use
moderate density and the language supporting Inclusionary
Zoning.
We've
been told firsthand that our
emails are making a difference -- and that they even changed
one councilmember's vote. Thank you to all who spoke out
for the future of our neighborhood.
Our
voices have been heard! Let's
continue to build our presence and thank
the City Council for listening to us. Urge them to
adopt the new Comprehensive Plan when they take their second and
final vote on Tuesday, December 19.
