Heliport
It?s time we restore the integrity of the community process and reinvolve the public in discussions about their neighborhoods, and their quality of life. While this particular issue may be focused on South Boston this time, it is only the latest example of the BRA steamrolling through neighborhoods with agendas that cater to special interests and exclude valuable community input. I am asking city officials to help me understand the tangible benefits that the city will gain from a South Boston heliport. Join me and find out at a community meeting on Monday, June 9th, at 6:30 p.m. at the Condon School (200 D Street).
Maintaining Boston?s excellence begins with creating sustainable communities that foster growth and protect neighborhood character at the same time. Families leave when neighborhood planning and development are done in a vacuum and when city officials do not look at the big picture or consider the best interests of all Boston residents and businesses, both big and small.
While we should continue to be open-minded to new business ventures, South Boston - or any Boston neighborhood - should not be the ?catch-all? community whenever a new special interest comes to town, especially when they do not mesh with that community?s goals and values.
The only special interests should be the public?s interests. Instead of rolling out the red carpet for the wealthy and elite, we should be rolling out the welcome mat for all Bostonians.
Join me on Monday, June 9th, at 6:30 p.m. at the Condon School to openly discuss the community impact of a South Boston heliport. I look forward to seeing you and listening to your concerns.
