Dear Neighbors,
We've received a lot of support for our upcoming meeting on the North Branch Park Preserve, but many supporters are unable to attend this week. At their request, we are rescheduling the meeting to
June 27.

Public open space will ease looming development pressures in our park-starved area in the face of a potential Lincoln Yards daytime population of 50,000 that may now include
a 20,000 seat stadium and a large entertainment complex.
Not one foot of the proposed redevelopment of the entire North Branch Industrial Corridor is publicly-owned parkland.
Now is the time to urge the City to acquire the site of the proposed North Branch Park Preserve to create a true public park. Here is a
map of the sites.
