Broadway plan
November 24th, 2024 — If you saw the previous day’s post you might wonder why 400 to 500 people of different backgrounds would gather at city hall to hear some speeches about zoning. The pictures below, all within a couple of blocks of 14th and Main, explain. They are of six old low rise apartments whose owners want to rezone so the buildings can be demolished and replaced with towers. The renters, despite assurances from the city a new home will be found for them, will be evicted and in a city with virtually no vacancies; have nowhere to go. This is known as the Broadway Plan.
November 24th. 2024 — 215-229 East 13th Avenue.
November 24th. 2024 — 310 East 14th Avenue.
