Re-Naming Park Committee to be Formed
Re-naming Christopher Columbus Park on the outskirts off the North End has not made its way to the City’s top things to do, but it will eventually climb to the top of the ladder and actions will be taken to publicly deal with the issue.
Rumor has it that Mayor Michele Wu will form a committee made up of local residents, the business community, elected officials, and City Hall staff from various departments to tackle the issue.
Who will serve on this committee has obviously not been determined at this time?
