Beginning this weekend, residents of the upper and lower South Providence and Elmwood neighborhoods can get together with city officials to discuss the future of their neighborhoods. Providence Tomorrow: Our City, Our Neighborhood, Our Future begins tomorrow at 9 a.m. with an elected officials forum. "Our Providence Tomorrow neighborhood planning process is one of the most unique, public engagement initiatives anywhere in this country," Mayor David Cicilline said in a statement. "This week we begin yet another in our series of neighborhood planning sessions and urge residents from South Providence and Elmwood to come in and share their ideas about what they envision for their neighborhood in the years ahead." Other events include discussions on parks and open spaces, a workshop on commercial areas and one on neighborhood sustainability and land use. The activities run Saturday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at the Pearl Street Lofts, 292 Pearl Street. For more information, call 351.4300 extension 509. Click below for a full schedule of events.

This event just shows how out of touch the Planning Department is. Pearl St. Lofts aren't even in Elmwood and South Providence. It's yuppie central. I guess that's what happens when you don't get your hands dirty and actually get to know the neighborhood.

Hi Tony-I work on Broad Street in South Providence and pass the Pearl Street Lofts. It is the South Providence area and definitely not "yuppie central". They are located on a side street in the stretch between Crossroads and the beginning of Elmwood Ave. It is only a meeting place for this event anyway.
