Washington Square Park Performer Crackdown Community Board Meeting




Dear Neighbor:

You may have read about steps taken recently by the City to issue summonses to performers in Washington Square Park who solicit contributions within 50 feet of a monument. In response, Community Board 2 will hold a Washington Square Park Speak Out on this issue on Monday, December 19, 6:30 p.m. at the NYU Kimmel Center, 60 Washington Square South, 8th Floor.

Members of the public are invited to attend this meeting and speak in favor or against the Parks Department’s actions. Representatives from the Parks Department and local elected officials will be invited to attend, as well.

This meeting will be followed up by a discussion of the issue at the CB 2 Parks Committee on January 4, 2012 (time and location TBD).

WHAT: Washington Square Park Speak Out

WHEN: Monday, December 19, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.

We hope you can make it to this meeting. If you wish to email your comments, you can send them by return email or to washingtonsquareparkspeakout@gmail.com
