Three Years Ago – August 8, 2022
Mayor & City Council
Despite overwhelming public opposition, a majority on the City Council passed a law allowing apartment buildings in residential neighborhoods.
But thanks to YOUR VOICES—and the legal action filed by Englewood One Community and residents – we achieved real results:
NEIGHBORHOODS PROTECTED:
✅ East Hill Synagogue Neighborhood – Brayton and Lincoln Streets
✅ Engle–Booth–Chestnut Streets
✅ West Tryon & Central Avenue
✅ East Palisade Ave.
NEIGHBORHOODS STILL UNDER ATTACK by the Mayor and Councilmembers from Wards 1 & 2:
🚨 Quarles Elementary School area
🚨 Glenwood Rd, Whitewood Rd, Davidson Pl, Englewood Field Club
🚨 West Hudson area
🚨 King Gardens, Englewood Ave, Bennett Rd, Armory, Humphrey & Williams Streets
🚨 Hamilton & Pindle Avenues & Pearl St.
🚨 Lafayette, Wides Corner, Park Ave, Wilbur St, Cottage Pl, Broadway Ave
🚨 Elmore Ave, Liberty School neighborhood
🚨 Mary & Grant Streets & East Forest Ave
No other city in New Jersey has targeted its own residential neighborhoods like this—using overdevelopment as a false solution for affordable housing.
WHY US? WHY NOW?
Join the fight for Common Sense Solutions:
✅Comply with affordable housing mandates without destroying neighborhoods.
✅ Eliminate all high-density zoning in residential areas to preserve quality of life.
✅ Protect King Gardens residents from displacement by removing high density apartment zoning.
✅ Revitalize our economy, reduce taxes, and improve services—without sacrificing our homes
- Rezone Palisade Avenue (East to West) for vibrant mixed-use development.
- Convert underused office/industrial zones—like South Van Brunt, South Dean, and Grand Avenue—into community-serving, economically revitalized spaces.
- Focus all new development near major highways to reduce neighborhood traffic, flooding, and infrastructure strain.
OUR CITY. OUR VOICE. OUR FUTURE.
SHOW UP. SPEAK OUT. STAND TOGETHER.
