Fwd: [trees] BOSTON GLOBE: "Boston’s parks create space for people of all types to get out of their pixelated bubbles and, simply, be together."
by raryals 19 Apr '24

Ruth Ryals raryals(a)gmail.com ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Charles Teague <charles.d.teague(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Apr 19, 2024 at 4:07 PM Subject: [trees] BOSTON GLOBE: "Boston’s parks create space for people of all types to get out of their pixelated bubbles and, simply, be together." To: Folks, our city revels in "deferred maintenance" for years on all parks and then splurging on massive renovation for one or two each year. Nasty, unsafe results for the many. -- Charlie PS note that the City of Boston works with the "Friends" of the parks excerpt * Even Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, a self-defined tree hugger and champion of the climate justice that urban parks embody, couldn’t find even 1 percent <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.boston.gov/departments/budget/fy25-…> of the city’s $4.6 billion budget for the parks and recreation department this year. Vizza said that bringing the appropriation up to 1 percent would have meant an additional $11 million for parks “from Beacon Hill to Blue Hill” — money that could have gone to badly deferred maintenance. ... Numerous studies show that green spaces in urban settings improve public health <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.tpl.org/parks-promote-health-report…>, moderate the “heat island effect” of dense cities in a warming world, and bring joy to millions. But in these fractured times they serve a subtler if equally crucial purpose: creating a space where people of all backgrounds can get out of their pixelated bubbles and, simply, be together. People tend to forget that Olmsted was a social reformer as much as a landscape architect and the late 19th century, as today, was a time of rapid technological change and widening economic divides.* see attached PDF or https://www.bostonglobe.com/2024/04/19/opinion/friends-of-the-public-garden… -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cambridge Trees CORE" group.

PSNA Meeting on the upcoming budget negotiations - April 18, 7-9 pm!
by raryals 10 Apr '24

10 Apr '24

Save the Date! On behalf of the chairs of the Finance Committee, for this meeting, we are inviting our neighbors in North and West Cambridge to attend. Questions can be sent, in advance, to the co-chairs who will be in attendance (or asked that evening): *Patricia Nolan* *pnolan(a)cambridgema.gov <pnolan(a)cambridgema.gov>* *&* *JOAN PICKETT* *jpickett(a)cambridgema.gov <jpickett(a)cambridgema.gov>* Co-chairs, Finance Committee Cambridge City Council *********************************************************************** *PSNA Meeting - 4/18, 7-9 pm, in person and on zoom* Residents sometimes [or often?] feel they don’t understand the city’s budget and/or don’t know how to give input. The co-chairs of the Finance Committee, Councillors Nolan and Pickett, have asked to attend our 4/18 PSNA meeting to discuss the FY25 budget which is in development. The recent past period of growth allowed large increases in spending and expansions of programs. Now, the downward shift in our underlying economy and an increase in operating expenses and debt levels leads to a different budget environment. These trends highlight the need to moderate our operating and capital spending in FY25 and FY26 and beyond. The Co-Chairs of the Finance Committee want to share budget background information and hear from the community about our sense of city’s priorities to bring our voices into the upcoming council discussions. Please plan to join us in person on *April 18th, 7-9 pm at Lesley University Hall, 1815 Mass Ave, or on Zoom*, if that is easier. More details to follow. Ruth -- Ruth Ryals raryals(a)gmail.com
