Community Board 7’s Land Use Committee is hosting a walking tour of several neighborhoods in Kingsbridge Heights and University Heights to assess possible rezoning options. The walk is set to begin 10 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 19, in front of the Kingsbridge Armory (West Kingsbridge Road and Davidson Avenue).
It will last about two hours. The walk will explore Davidson Avenue, Devoe Park Terrace, and Grand Avenue.
The Board recently completed the rezoning another area of the district. In March, with direction from Community Board 7, the City Council approved the rezoning of a stretch of Webster Avenue and select neighborhoods in Norwood and Bedford Park. The idea was to encourage residential and retail development on Webster and preserve the character of certain blocks in Norwood and Bedford Park.
