Official Text

To the Honorable City Council:

We are writing to share a statement by Somerville’s Urban Forestry Committee on the planned remediation of Conway Park. The Committee discussed this topic at our public meeting on September 17, 2020. After a motion and a second, we adopted the language below by roll call vote. Six committee members voted in favor, and two voted against.

We urge specific actions both by the Mayor’s office and also by the City Council. We hope that you will review this statement thoughtfully, and that you will take our advice into consideration.

Thank you for your attention and for your ongoing service to our city.

Sincerely,

Chris Dwan and Althea Northcross

Co-Chairs, Somerville Urban Forest Committee
