Providence mayor wants input on neighborhoods

The mayor is asking the public to join an open discussion about neighborhood development in Providence’s Mount Hope, Hope and Blackstone neighborhoods.

The forum begins this morning and runs through Thursday.

“Feedback from residents and business owners at these neighborhood planning workshops is critical to our efforts to shape the future of our neighborhoods,” Mayor David N. Cicilline said in a statement.

This will be the second in a series of similar forums. The first was held earlier this year in Washington Park.

Participants, who will also include Councilmen Cliff Wood and Kevin Jackson, will discuss the character, affordability, safety, and infrastructure of the neighborhoods. Opening up the neighborhoods to each other and creating open space will also be on the agenda.

The workshop schedules are as follows:

Tuesday, Sept. 25, 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Wednesday, Sept. 26, 9:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Thursday, Sept. 27, 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.
