Providence's future? Help mold it this week

PROVIDENCE -- Residents who want their say on future of several city neighborhoods are invited to sound off this week.

Known as a charrette, the workshop/feedback session runs today though Friday at the Church of the Redeemer, 655 Hope St. It's the second in a series of neighborhood charrettes, this one looking at planning for the Mount Hope, Hope and Blackstone neighborhoods.. The first was held this year in Washington Park.

Attendees will look at "neighborhood character, affordability, community safety, neighborhood infrastructure, connecting neighborhoods and open space," the mayor's office said in a news release today.

“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 the statement. “Thanks to unprecedented input from the public we will now have more detailed information about our neighborhoods to add to the Providence Comprehensive plan than ever before.”

Here's the schedule:

* Tuesday, 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.
* Wednesday, 9:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.
* Thursday, 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.
