For one last time:

Dear Neighbors!

At the Monday 15 December City Council meeting, the City Council voted to confer landmark designation on 33 Richdale, the former Hathaway Bakery.  

Exterior changes to the Hathaway Bakery building will require review and approval by the Cambridge Historical Commission in perpetuity.    (This link will tell you more about the significance of landmark designation in Cambridge.   http://www2.cambridgema.gov/Historic/landmarks.html  )

Again FYI, granting landmark status does not affect the previous approval by the CHC of the final scheme which Rob and Sam Wolff proposed.

Looking to the new year, if you still have an interest and concern about development in Cambridge, I’d recommend that you follow the work of the Fresh Pond Residents Alliance.    http://us8.campaign-archive1.com/?u=88f96bd1db66889b902893cd1&id=3e284f3412&e=a4f155fc7f

Closer to home, you might follow the work of other neighbors in their attempt to shape the development on the site of the former Masse Hardware parking lot.  

Neighbors, we have traveled a long way together to this happy conclusion.  Oliver and I wish you all fulfilling holidays and a good year ahead.

And so, to all a good night!
