From URBN Tampa Bay

Check out what was left of Downtown Tampa in 1970, after the state had bulldozed half of it to make way for their beloved highway and ‘urban renewal’. Bulldozing the city for a wider highway isn’t a solution. As you can see, it is specifically what nearly destroyed Tampa’s urban core, making it an unlivable hellscape that the community has never fully recovered from.

This is why we strongly oppose any further highway expansion through Tampa, and support All for Transportation’s petition to put transportation improvements on the ballot in Hillsborough County this November.

For more on the petition, and how you can sign it, check out the website here: http://www.allfortransportation.com/

Ybor Chicken Society

Reminder: public special committee meeting tomorrow, July 6, at 11:00a at 2015 E 7th Ave in Ybor. The YCDC is attempting to draft a position, so be there and be heard!

From Dishing with Mark & Carrie …CORRECTION:

The YCDC Board has NOT made a decision in regards to the Ybor City wondering chicken population after reporting last week that it had and was told by some residents involved that they were deeply concerned.

 

An open discussion is set for Fri, July 6th at 11am in the YCDC Offices on 7th Ave. Then the matter will go to Tampa City Council on July 12th.

 

It is a mixed Ybor City population opinion, positive and negative about the clucking birds all around the cigar district to be removed, left alone or other ways of maybe how to reduce the population.

 

Anyone can voice their opinions on how to move forward with the 89 chickens in Ybor City at the Friday Special Meeting.
