Dear Members and Friends,
A light meeting week for the Fenway, but lots of other happenings. Mark your calendars to join neighbors on February 27th at the Fenway Community Center for a discussion “Out of the Shadows; Into the Sunlight,” reviewing proposed development at Longwood Place, what it means for our parks and city, sharing resident feedback, and the road ahead.
Take advantage of Black History Month activities hosted by the City’s Equity and Inclusion Team, get your dog’s shots updated and/or get your own free COVID shots at Symphony Park! All this and more below – and make sure to save the dates for important meetings on Fenway zoning and the Back Bay Fens Pathways project:
