Karen:Mayve use front cover of City Zoning Ordinance with 1950 date so they get idea that it is an outdated law.
Need new ones here
Karen:listening meetings( are those regional meetings?): photos show no diversity [use a photo from Good Neighbor Alliance mtgs]
Karen: Vibrant biz districts: include some area that communities of color are familiar with
The values that you…….will serve as the foundation for ….
Karen’s comment: BUF Building Blocks: Maybe use 'Created as examples or model for future uses' ['We' gets overused since Team is not BUF and don't want to imply that WE know what's good for citizens]
Buffalo’s future development should reflect community concerns and vision. To do this, basic urban building blocks can be applied throughout the city to enhance existing neighborhoods or build new ones. When we go to individual tables, we’ll be asking you to work with these images to think about what your neighborhood should become.
