You know the City
is
changing
quickly!
Have people who are making
the big decisions
asked you what YOU think?
The City of Newark is making plans for.the
future.
But the new “Land Use” plan does not include
space for parks or schools,
like it should.
You can have a voice! Get involved today!
The City of Newark’s “Land Use” maps, and a new zoning
ordinance, will be voted on by the Planning Board and the City
Council in late August or September, 1999. Don’t let them pass the
new plans without including those things which are important to
who live here: schools, parks, community facilities.
You can tell the Mayor and your Councilmember that planning for
the future is important, and should respond to community needs.
Call Mayor James at 733-6400.
For the Municipal Council, call 733-3788 and ask for your
representative. i
Newark is your home. Get involved in the City's future.
These are examples of planning issues in which
the community does not have enough input :
+ In the North Ward low-quality housing is being
developed without consideration for schools and
residential crowding in the neighborhoods.
« In the South Ward plans for the future Industrial
Park have gone forward without the local residents
knowing what type of light industry will be located
there and how to apply for the jobs.
+ In the Central Ward there are proposals to relocate
South 17th Street School inside West Side Park.
+ In the East Ward public schools are on average 57%
overcrowded.
» In the West Ward there should be resident input
regarding the future development plans for the Pabst
Site.
