20. Dayton Street

21. Dayton/Weequahic Park

24. 4 family Light industrial park Multi family Commercial corridor

25. Dayton/Weequahic Park Boundaries

26. The Changes We Want to Make To Dayton

27. The ware houses should be moved to a different neighborhood then there would be less pollution hardly any at all for better air for the residents.Then Turn the ware houses into rental apartments. The vacant lots and buildings should be turned into new houses And into apartment Buildings for people Who cant afford the houses.And make stores to shop for the residents

28.  Lots of heavy industrial warehouses  Lots of open space  Mixed residential park industrial neighborhood  Weequahic Park contains a large lake, baseball fields, and soccer fields.

29. What I think should happen with the neighborhood is just to move the Ware houses into another part of the city so that there would be less pollution in that neighborhood and a better living environment for the children I also think that when the ware houses move that they can be turned into rental apartments. The other thing that I think should happen in this neighborhood is the vacant land and buildings should be turned into affordable houses and apartments so that people of both high and low incomes will be able to afford them this way the city and state will make even more money because more people will be paying them. These are the changes that I think should happen with the neighborhood.
