Dear Members and Friends,
A few announcements for the week and some items to mark on your calendars:
1. Wednesday, May 18th, 9:30 a.m. – Mayor Wu’s Coffee Hour, Ramler Park, 130 Peterbrough Street.
Join neighbors and friends for a cup of coffee with the mayor! Attendees will have the opportunity to speak with Mayor Wu and city officials- it is a good way to express your priorities and concerns, and get to know your city representatives.
Each attendee will receive a free flowering plant. Event is weather permitting
2. Thursday, May 19th, 6:00 p.m. – Virtual Bus Network Redesign Meeting
We strongly encourage you to attend Thursday’s virtual meeting.
The proposed redesign has consequences for the #55 bus route:
- The route will begin at Longwood Medical Area, down Boylston Street, continue down Mass Ave and end at Kendall Square, Cambridge
- The bus will no longer stop at Copley and instead will stop at Hynes Convention for Green Line connections (or Kenmore until Hynes is ADA accessible)
- There will no longer be direct connectivity to downtown via bus
- The route will no longer go through Queensberry and Jersey St.
To attend this meeting and share your thoughts, register here.
3. Saturday, May 21st 9 a.m.-2 p.m. – Household Hazardous Waste, Paper Shredding, and Textiles and e-waste Drop-Off Day, Central DPW Facility, 400 Frontage Rd., Boston 02118
