Point Breeze development rumbles? Blame the process.

Change is coming to Point Breeze, and the battle lines are being drawn. Zoning meetings are ground zero for this contested neighborhood’s disputes, and the process does nothing to reduce mounting tensions or create real dialogue. Eyes on the Street went to Monday night’s meeting to listen in.

District-level comprehensive plans for West Park, Lower South, unveiled

West Park plan calls for beefed-up and concentrated commercial corridors with new mixed-use development on 52nd Street and Lancaster Avenue and Parkside avenues. Lower South plan calls for improved highway and transit access, more housing for seniors and families, and better connections to FDR Park and the riverfronts.


CDAG heartened at Squilla's stance on zoning ordinances, plans open letter to city council

CDAG members say city council should not pass any zoning change legislation for individual waterfront parcels, and the ZBA should go easy on variances, until the waterfront master plan and new overlay are in place.
