The Boston Globe is running an opinion piece by David Lurie on what led to the race being cancelled entitled Citizen Activism Worked
Citizen activism worked. A diverse coalition of residents pursued every angle to bring attention to the adverse impacts of the race on public health, safety, and the environment. Concern spread steadily throughout the community as more people and neighborhood associations learned about the adverse impacts of this event and the six months of construction that would be involved. In the end, the group’s hard work and participation in the public process paid off
Thank you to David, and everyone else, who gave their time and talents to not allowing a bad deal for tax payers and residents to be pushed through. Read the entire piece here: Read Citizen Activism Worked
