Norwood Neighborhood Association members met Saturday January 16th, to discuss the Streetscape Text Amendment. The consensus was residents are in favor of supporting the Residential Preservation Streetscape Text Amendment as originally stated and intended by City Planning.
In the experience of Norwood Gardens, residents have seen that developers and absentee landlords will always find loop-holes to exploit, often to the detriment of the community.
Low rise neighborhoods of special character need more protection from development, not less.
