Roslindale Wetlands Discovery Walk – Sunday, October 18, 2020, 2 pm
Come see the Roslindale Wetlands in the fall and learn about 104-108 Walter Street, the largest remaining privately-owned section of the Roslindale Wetlands Urban Wild. The City is receptive to acquiring this property for protecting the wetlands and creating several (up to four) units of affordable homeownership. Come explore the area and see what it’s all about in expectation of future community meetings to help shape the future of this important piece of land.
Gather at the corner of Selwyn and Robken Road. Please wear your mask and practice social distancing. Sturdy shoes are advised.
Future of 104-108 Walter Street by the Roslindale Wetlands Site – Online Community Workshop
The Longfellow Area Neighborhood Association (LANA) and the Roslindale Wetlands Task Force (RWTF) are hosting two community workshops to explore the future of 104-108 Walter Street, which is now for sale. LANA and RWTF have been urging the City to purchase the property to permanently protect the largest privately owned parcel in the designated Roslindale Wetlands Urban Wild area (largely 108 Walter) and to create up to four units of affordable home ownership, largely on 104 Walter. We want to share what has been happening and get your input and comments.
Thursday, October 1 at 7 pm. LANA and RWTF are hosting a virtual community workshop, which will be an introduction and discussion about the future of 104-108 Walter. We want to let you know what’s been happening and hear your questions and ideas. Please click here for free registration. Links to the virtual workshop will be sent to you.
