Dear Ms. Duran,
The Greenwich Village Block Associations (GVBA) is a community wide coalition
of organizations dedicated to preserving and improving the quality of life
for residents of Greenwich Village. On Thursday, September 25 we held our
monthly meeting. A primary topic of discussion was the subject of
street fairs and
how they impact our community.
As you are responsible for granting permits for street fairs, a few of
us would like to meet with you to discuss the subject. We believe that
it may be possible
to achieve a better understanding and a cooperative relationship with regard
to street fairs.
We agreed on these two points:
1. Since the Village is an extremely popular location for street fairs,
we believe that groups with community ties should take precedence over
groups
with a global agenda.
2. We do not believe that a moratorium on new street fairs is necessarily
the answer to our community’s concerns.
We believe that you will find that we are reasonable and concerned representatives
and I hope that you will be able to meet with us. I will call your office
next week, but if you would prefer to contact me, I would be happy to speak
with
you at any time.
We look forward to meeting with you. Thank you.
