Thanks to Charline Walker, manager of Hampton House, we’re now meeting in their community room.
BPD Sgt Lucas Taxter, provided crime statistics for our area. Crime is down, but please call 911 if you feel there is a problem: “Be our eyes and ears when we can’t be here!”
McAllaster House (526 Mass Ave) is undergoing extensive renovations. Required roof-water infiltration system leaves only 2 ft soil depth in the front yard – insufficient to replace the cherry tree. The meeting agreed to support the proposed planting plan, designed to complement the oak tree in the sidewalk nearby.
