Thanks to all of you who called the Mayor and Councilman Lombardi about the prohibition of outdoor seating on Broadway. I have heard that they both have received MANY calls. Your activism will let them know our community values our local businesses, and supports outdoor seating at Broadway restaurants as a wonderful and vibrant part of our community. Councilman Lombardi sent an update on the situation which I pass on to you. THANKING YOU FOR YOUR ACTION!
Kari, WBNA
Councilman Lombardi held a meeting with business owners and city representatives in early April with regard to the issue of outdoor seating and usage of sidewalk space for restaurants and other businesses on Broadway. In response to the issues that were raised, Councilman Lombardi asked that a zoning amendment be prepared to remedy the current restrictions that prohibit use of sidewalk on Broadway (considered an extension of business premises). He will be introducing the ordinance and ushering the zoning amendment through the approval process, which will hopefully be able to be expedited. In the meantime, Councilman Lombardi is exploring other options with the department of inspection and standards and the administration to determine if there is a temporary waiver or some other measure to ensure that businesses on Broadway do not suffer further from the current limitations. If you have any questions, please feel free to call the councilman at the City Council office, 521-7477 (his office number was inadvertently given in a separate email; this is the preferred number at which to reach him).

Won't you pass the word to help to bring organic food shopping and green
living to Westminster
Street?
The WBNA is seeking your help in finding buyers for the
residential units in our SWELL (Shop, Work, Eat, Live LOCAL) building at
1577 Westminster
Street. The outstanding building designed by Kite
Architects will house the Urban Greens Food Cooperative Grocery on the first
floor with four bright, airy energy efficient, affordable apartments above.
This will be a signature green building with extra
insulation, a light reflecting roof, a water tower to collect rainwater and many
other features to cut pollution, save energy and cut daily living
costs.
Its location in the West
Side Arts District on the bus line, a short ride to Downtown Providence
offers many advantages. The attached flyer outlines some more details that will
make these apartments wonderful places to live.
We have raised over $1.5 million in grants, loans and
in-kind donations. All permits are
in place. Our contractor is ready
to begin building.
All we need now is your help to find
buyers to sign up to take two of the units when we open this fall. We hope that you will pass the word on
this outstanding opportunity!

Hello WBNA members,
If you attended National Neighborhood Day this year we'd like you to help them by filling out this survey. Thank you!
National Neighborhood Day (NND) is making connections and changing lives - please help NND tell that story to funders of the effort. The link below is to a 3-4 minute survey that will help NND tell its story and raise funding to reach into more neighborhoods and help more families and children across America. Please take a brief few moments to help if you have participated in any NND gatherings.
