Womp wommmmp POSTPONED! The Zoning Walk will be rescheduled due to conflicts within the Planning Commision office- they now need to attend budget hearings, so we will have to meet up with them later. You can still register for the walk and get notified by email when it is rescheduled, or keep tabs on WSWCA communications to find out the new date and time when it is announced.
On Tuesday March 28 at 9am, Councilman Squilla; Anne Fadullon, Director of Planning; Eleanor Sharpe, Deputy of Director of Planning and other members of the planning commission will be touring parts of Washington Square West to review some of the proposed zoning changes. The primary focus of the tour will be the areas bounded by Juniper Street, 12 th Street, Walnut Street and Pine Street. Several properties in this area have a proposed downzoning from CMX-5 to CMX-4. The tour will be leaving from Juniper and Walnut Streets at 9am.![]()

Following is a link to the map that was presented in January. The planning commission has received all comments from the neighborhood that were stated at the January presentations. After the March 28 tour of the neighborhood, the planning commission will consider all comments as well as their own observations and they will revise the map as deemed appropriate. Once the civic association has received the map, we will share it with the community and schedule additional presentations.
