Great cities have great public open spaces.

Citizens who think that vacant land at Zero New Washington Street would be better utilized as open space than sold for industrial use will have an opportunity to share our vision for Somerville and our concerns for the future of the City with members of the Board of Aldermen at a meeting of the Finance Committee in the Committee Room at City Hall (second floor), Wednesday evening, November 1, at 6:30.

Zero New Washington Street is not on the agenda for the Board of Aldermen meeting tomorrow (Thursday, October 26).

City property belongs to the citizens of Somerville, and we entrust our elected representatives to dispose of our resources in our best interest. Please join us at the Finance Committee meeting, Wednesday evening, for a discussion of the proposal to sell Zero New Washington Street. If you cannot attend the Finance Committee Meeting, please contact the Board of Aldermen, c/o the City Clerk, John Long (617-625-6600 ext. 4100 or jlong *at* ci.somerville.ma.us), and tell them not to sell out Somerville's future: don't sell our open space!

Please continue reading past posts under the Cobble Hill section of the som|dog website for more background on the proposal to sell Zero New Washington Street.
