Chinatown small businesses respond to impending street closures as prescribed by Chinatown Partnership LDC

In the document produced by Asian Americans For Equality's Rebuild Chinatown Initiative: "America's Chinatown - A Community Plan" AAFE employee Robert Weber writes:

"Historic Chinatown presents an opportunity to create a great marketplace akin to those of East

Asia. A marketplace is all about pedestrians, not automobiles. And Historic Chinatown’s dense

warren of narrow streets is its latent asset for pedestrians, just as it is a headache for vehicles. All that is needed is to close selected streets to traffic, to make room for sidewalk displays and dining, during the peak weekend afternoons and evening." - Robert Weber, Asian Americans For Equality, 2004

At the June 17th CAPZ meeting of the Chinatown Working Group there was extensive discussion about the notification of property owners by the Chinatown Working Group . Ultimately it was decided by the CAPZ Committee that the Chinatown Working Group will NOT be notifying property owners of intended zoning changes, or plans to individual buildings.
