The meeting was opened by passing out surveys to be delivered to our new Police Captain Richard Evans at Station 6. It is important to him to now the neighbors perception of safety in the neighborhood and what issues are most important to them. Surveys can be mailed in to the address listed on them.

Next was our monthly report from Community Service Officer John loan from Station 6 BPD. He reported a break-in at one of the newer large residential buildings in the neighborhood. A snow blower, 4 bikes and a 60" flat-screen TV were removed from the premise. It appears the individuals involved may have entered through the garage doors before they were closed automatically. The management of the building have multiple video cameras and have supplied the police with the video. Residents were reminded to be vigilant about safety to watch doors close behind them, and report all suspicious persons to the Boston PD 617-343-4911 from your cell phone.

The management at 50 West Broadway announced the availability of garage parking spaces to rent for $250 per month. E-mail 50WB@corcoranmgmt.com for more information.

David Warner of Warner Larsen Landscape Architects on West Broadway has generously signed on pro-bono to design our newest garden on The Jimmy Kelley Bridge. He presented the conceptional design for "Denise's Garden" on the Kelly Bridge. The theme is "Reflections in Pink" which was her favorite color. The pathway and sitting area will be in the shape of a flower with gravel and other stones adding color so even in the winter it will be a welcoming location. Recycled glass and a center fountain or statute will also be included in the design with small stone seats inside the petals of the flower. Boxwood will outline the shape of the petals with Knockout pink roses and a cherry tree against the bridge. The flowers will all be in shaded of pink and purple. The plan also includes more trees on Foundry St. to block some of the view of the train yards. We are also working with Frank O'brien in Boston Public Works to get a spotlight to shine in the area.
