§ Tagged as Broadway Fillmore, Events

The following are the rough, working notes from the third breakout session convened at the connecting places in the Broadway-Fillmore District of Buffalo meeting held at the Central Terminal on October 3, 2009.

 

Issue: Coordinating events in the district, establishing a program calendar and a project timeline

 

Convener(s): Eddy and Rich

 

Summary of Discussion:

Making people aware of events going on:

 

·         Too much “red tape” to get project going and through city hall

·         Share email addresses

·         Post it (notices) outside (example – Central Terminal)

·         One set person to coordinate calendar

·         Repetitive advertising

·         Come up with a unified image

·         Focus on “your” area (i.e. not entire east side) – If not, “name”

      How to select a “Name”?

·         Notify Buffalo Police of events (C District – Chief Scott)

·         Board leadership cross-overs ( a board member of Broadway Market also serving as a board member at Central Terminal

Restoration Corporation)

·         Use workers for all

·         Expand to all groups

·         Bring events from other (outside) communities: must be “thought out” well; need someone to find and plan them, (e.g. “Parking and Ride” on second level of Broadway Market (NFTA) research and implement)

·         Add to existing events (e.g. “Art Deco” fashion show at Central Terminal)
