Thank you Fred Camillo, Jill Oberlander, and Lauren Rabin for your *unanimous* approval of the plan!

… and for your expedited implementation! Our entire local government has been extraordinary in this process! [in my personal and humble opinion] 

And thank you to everyone who signed this petition — 3,137 so far — you definitely are making an impact! 

If you can and are comfortable, please remember to support our small businesses on Greenwich Avenue (and everywhere!) through this difficult period! And be safe!
