Tuesday marks the kickoff of a city-sponsored review of what Washington Street should be like from Forest Hills to Jackson Square.

A lot of interests will be in play as residents and officials build that master plan. Expect many of those voices to come from JP-based City Life/Vida Urbana, a tenants’ rights organization.

Jamaica Plain News recently walked Washington Street with María Christina Blanco, a lead organizer with City Life.
