[Summit] Two important public meetings tomorrow and Wednesday

[Jonathan Howard]

Most of life is just showing up. We hope that significant numbers of Summit 
residents will show up at either (or both) important meetings about the 
future of our city and neighborhood coming up this week.

The meeting tomorrow on neighborhood plans is something Summit Neighborhood 
Association has been working and waiting for since at least 2002. The 
meeting on Thursday about public education is of obvious importance to 
families, but also affects the overall quality of life for everyone in Summit.

The future is too important to leave to someone else. Get involved. Attend 
one of these meetings. You'll meet new people and learn something.


1. Mayor Cicilline to discuss neighborhood planning process - TOMORROW, 
TUES, MAY 30 - 6:30

A coalition of neighborhood organizations has asked Mayor Cicilline to 
discuss his intended process for conducting individual planning for all of 
Providence's neighborhoods. Neighborhood plans are called for in the City's 
Comprehensive Plan and were among the Mayor's earliest initiatives, 
although events have delayed them for several years. These plans should ask 
and answer important questions about the future of each neighborhood and 
invite the people living in those places today to be important participants 
in their creation.

The Mayor has responded by inviting neighborhood organizations to a meeting 
tomorrow, Tuesday, May 30, at the Public Safety Complex auditorium (the new 
police station overlooking Rt. 95) at 6:30. Summit Neighborhood Association 
would like all interested neighbors to join us at this meeting to learn how 
the city intends to conduct this important process.


2. East Side Public Education Coalition PUBLIC MEETING JUNE 1st

The ESPEC steering committee invites you to a public meeting on Thursday, 
June 1st, from 6:30-8:00pm in the basement of the Rochambeau branch of the 
Providence Public Library.  The goals of the meeting are:

a)To review the continuing loss of East Side public education, and present 
information about ESPEC's steering committee's efforts to date.

b)To hear from you about what you want for the future of Nathan Bishop and 
East Side public education.

c)To share ideas about what we as a community can do to restore East Side 
public education, and involve more people in activities.
