News from Sam Zurier's 10/25 Ward Letter
City Budget
The Auditor General sent a Letter to our Mayor and City Council President (with copies to the City Council members) stating his concerns about Providence's finances. Moving forward, the Auditor General's letter breaks important new ground by specifically directing our City's administration to obtain the advice and consent of the City Council before submitting a new, more effective deficit reduction plan.
The River Road Project
The Seekonk Riverbank Alliance seeks to enhance the River Road area as a public park. In June, they held a charrette seeking public input about what features the park should have. One major concern that neighbors stated was that any redesign should preserve the automobile access to River Road in both directions. Recently, the group prepared a proposal that satisfies this concern. They published diagrams of the proposal including an Overview, and renderings of a Plaza at the foot of Irving Avenue, the Meadow area and the Narragansett Boat Club area. The group will be holding a public meeting to discuss the proposal on Thursday, November 5 at 4:00-6:00 p.m. at the Planning Department, 444 Westminster Street.
