Dear Members and Friends,
Please see the following petition advanced by Representative Jon Santiago together with Senator William Brownsberger, Rep. Jay Livingstone, Rep. Chynah Tyler, and Councilor Kenzie Bok, in partnership with FCA to oppose the installation of metered parking along our historic parkways. We hope you will take a minute to sign this form for our representatives to present to the DCR. Thank you!
Save Our Parking Spaces
The Department of Conservation and Recreation released a plan to replace “Resident Permit Parking’ spaces with DCR metered parking. According to DCR’s presentation, there are currently 232 parking spaces in the Fenway designated to be converted to metered parking. See plan here.
Our neighborhood will be severely impacted as a result. Many of our elderly and disabled residents who rely on easy access to their cars will be disproportionately harmed. Additionally, the recent cut of the #55 bus has further isolated the Fenway neighborhood, forcing many more residents to rely on their cars in order to perform daily tasks.
The Fenway is one of the densest neighborhoods in the City and is one of the fastest growing. With parking already difficult to find or expensive to obtain, we must preserve the existing infrastructure that currently serves our residents. As the Fenway continues to grow and prosper, we must make sure that our elderly and disabled residents are not left behind.
Your elected officials, State Senator Will Brosnwberger, State Representatives Jon Santiago, Jay Livingstone, Chynah Tyler, and City Councilor Kenzie Bok are partnering with the Fenway Civic Association and other neighborhood leaders to mobilize public opposition to this plan. We ask that you join us to protect the resident parking spaces in the Fenway and prevent DCR from installing meters.
Please sign this petition promptly and share it with your neighbors.
