What’s the Press Saying
Who We Are
Edgewater Residents for Responsible Development is a 501c4 association of neighbors who support a responsible approach to development on Edgewater’s Broadway Business District rooted in community input and sound planning – not the whim of the marketplace or policy priorities from Downtown. We are composed of thousands of people in Edgewater who oppose the City’s proposal for a radical upzoning of the entirety of Broadway without any study, planning or input from affected residents and businesses. We support a Win-Win Roadmap for the Broadway Business District.
OUR WIN-WIN ROADMAP FOR BROADWAY
We have brought together experts and community members to develop a Win-Win Roadmap for future development on the Broadway Business District that makes concrete proposals based on years of community visioning.
The Win-Win Roadmap for future development includes the following elements:
A Master Plan for the revitalization of the historic heart of the Broadway Business District at Bryn Mawr and Hollywood; Policies that preserve Broadway’s architectural diversity, heritage buildings, and affordability;
Zoning that ensures compatibility with the character and livability of Broadway’s surrounding residential neighborhoods; and
Studies, planning, and policies to mitigate the impacts of increased development on traffic, parking, and Broadway’s small businesses.
