The public hearing through the Aldermanic Land Use Committee is expected to close next Tues. Nov. 10. Between now and then, please send an email to the BOA asking them to both vote this out of committee with a yes, and then another yes from the full BOA soon thereafter. In between closing the public hearing and voting by the full Board, the aldermen have the task and ability of crafting a Board Order that addresses whatever key elements they see fit.
Even if you’ve sent a note previously, it is pivotal to do so again. As the time approaches for the Aldermanic final vote on Nov. 16, they need to hear from the silent majority who see the city-wide benefits to building this project.
You can send your message to the entire BOA by using this email address: lfinucane@newtonma.gov Please note in the topic line: Vote Yes on Austin Street, and ask in the message of the text to share with the entire BOA. You can cc the Mayor if you want him to hear your support by emailing swarren@newtonma.gov.
