Letter of Intent - Murray Street Block Association

Murray Street, though short and narrow, is home to many people and many businesses. It has undergone significant change in the last few years, including construction and renovation of numerous buildings and influx of new residents and commercial enterprises. Because this trend is certain to continue, it is in the best interest of those who currently live and work on Murray Street to ensure that further growth and change occurs with our constructive input.

Murray Street Block Association creates a mechanism whereby our concerns can be discussed and presented to Community Board 1 (and its various committees) and local politicians with sufficient weight to influence outcomes. It would address issues as diverse as beautification of Murray Street; sanitation; zoning issues that have an impact on new development; noise levels at night; dealing in advance with potentially dangerous construction problems, including the presence of cranes; general safety matters; and others.

As density on Murray Street increases, it is advantageous to have this forum through which differences of opinion could be amicably discussed.

We invite all interested parties that live or work on Murray Street to join in this block association. Membership is free, and participation will be at one’s own comfort level. If you are interested, please reply with your name, Murray Street address and email address, and whether you live or work or enjoy the use of businesses on Murray Street.

Please pass this blog address to neighbors for which it will be of interest to participate in a dialogue with their neighbors.

Sincerely,

Suellen Epstein - 9 Murray Street

Robert Krauss - 41 Murray Street

Loretta Thomas - 67 Murray Street

Amy Gross - 49 Murray Street

We would like to include you on the list !
