Our next monthly Eight Streets business meeting will be this Wednesday, January 9th (2013) in the Boston Ballet 5th floor board room (corner of Warren and Clarendon streets)
6:30-7 - Neighborhood Networking. Meet your neighbors in an informal setting.
7-8:30 - Business meeting.
On the agenda this month:
- Parklet discussion
- Open Member Discussion
HI everyone. Some last minute changes to the agenda. 54 Dwight will be coming before us in February for roof deck and balcony.
BTD will also be joining us to discuss the proposed parklet on Hanson at Shawmut. I've discussed the parklet at previous meetings, but BTD hadn't been in touch with us since their initial presentation at a South End forum meeting in May. At previous meetings some people have questioned the need for a parklet in that area. There has also been a negative article on the parklet penned by an abutter that made the papers. (the letter can still be found here).
BTD will be at the meeting to present information about the proposal, and to see if the neighborhood is interested in having the Hanson/Shawmut corner still be a part of the city's parklet program.

Hope to see everyone there!
