o City Councilman Frank DiCicco says that Bill 629 empowers community
organizations & keeps outsiders from dictating
what will be done in our neighborhoods.

o But community groups all around Philadelphia say that it may limit their
rights,
& will certainly take away the rights of citywide organizations who now
help fight local zoning battles.

o Is it possible for anyone to predict the effects of this Bill?  
o Is the opposition based on informed concern, or  fear of the unknown?  
o Should Bill 629 be rewritten?  
o Should it be vetoed?


FIND OUT at a
UNIVERSITY CITY TOWN MEETING
sponsored by the UNIVERSITY CITY COMMUNITY COUNCIL
o
Bill 629:  How will it affect University City?

Board.
