Mayoral Candidate Statements On Allens Ave’s Working Waterfront<\/strong><\/p>\n

Steven Costantino<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Costantino will work with business to develop jobs along a working waterfront<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/strong>Jobs speech<\/a>:<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

And our waterfront is flush with opportunity for sustainable jobs. There is no doubt that a working waterfront is part of the comprehensive and smart plan for this city\u2019s economic development.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

John Lombardi<\/p>\n

2007 comments and vote against comprehensive plan with Allens Ave waterfront changes:<\/p>\n

Some council members have argued that the city doesn\u2019t need to submit the plan in stages at all, and can wait for the neighborhood planning process to conclude. Councilman John J. Lombardi said last night that the city does not need to rush things, as the current plan should still function legally and govern local development even though it has expired.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cTo go forward as we are, it may just be unwarranted and inappropriate,\u201d Lombardi said.

The plan was passed 10 to 3, with several council members saying that they did not see the need to pass the plan now, and urging their colleagues to wait until the charettes are completed.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cNow is not the time to turn our backs on our neighborhood. Let our citizens be heard,\u201d said Councilman Kevin Jackson, who was joined by Josephine DiRuzzo and John J. Lombardi in opposition.
