BLOOMINGDALE VILLAGE SQUARE PROJECT: UPDATE #3
The Bloomingdale Village Square (BVS) Project will hold a half-day Saturday COMMUNITY FORUM in February. A light lunch will be provided. The FORUM will focus on:
- BVS' Community History efforts (including a 'big screen' showing of oral history video and related discussion, and discussion of the Bloomingdale History Timeline and its implications for present-day Bloomingdale; and
- A showing and 'walk-thru'/detailed explanation of a powerpoint presentation of preliminary recommendations of BVS architects, designers, and residents of the types and possible locations of design improvements that might serve to create a stronger sense of place and inclusion.
As part of the walk-thru, Forum attendees will be asked to vet (i.e., indicate support/non-support & provide other comments) for EACH type of proposed improvement through use of a specially prepared 'Residents Design Opinion Survey'. Responses will be used in modifying design proposals.
2. We continue to release each week, for broad public dissemination, a product of BVS' efforts to date. Attached is a PDF and Google doc of the BVS Social and Architectural History of the Bloomingdale Neighborhood: 1800 - 2015. This version is greatly expanded from that which appeared in the 2015 BCA House Tour Book, and is fully reference. Please share with neighbors, friends, your children & youth, and social media networks. The Timeline is good and interesting reading! (Best to navigate document using right & left arrows).
More to come!
