UPDATE

October 5, City decision threatens to obliterate Park

On Tuesday, October 5, at 7 PM in City Hall, the City Council will consider a proposal from City Staff and Planning Board that the Boatworks project be allowed to build 175 housing units at Oak and Clement, extending Blanding Avenue and Walnut Street through the project, and obliterating Estuary Park, leaving only a 100 foot wide strip along the waterfront.

Dorothy Freeman has written
• a letter recounting the history of the City's promise to create Estuary Park,
• an attachment explaining means of funding its purchase,
• a second attachment with facts showing why it is important to the area.

Fast notes on the outcome of the Jan 26, 2009 Planning Board meeting

• Public notice of Jan 26, 2009 Planning Board meeting

Collins is at it again. He has not given up the idea of putting high density housing, 242 units, where the City had planned Estuary Park at Clement and Oak streets.

On Monday, January 26, 2009, the Planning Board held a public hearing/scoping session to discuss the preparation of a Draft Environmental Impact Report for the proposed project.
