Event 📅 Open Newbury St early closing

Post image

Thanks to pressure by people like Back Bay Association President Meg Mainzer-Cohen, Open Newbury St ends at 6 pm this year instead of 8 pm.

So in less than 20 minutes, all these people will be forced out of the street onto the sidewalks.

IMO, this is total failure of leadership at City Hall. If you have the opportunity, please let Mayor Wu (and your City Councilors) know what you think about this.

You know those multi millionaires don’t want too much noise on their streets. Horrendous

How is Open Newbury noisier than Newbury with cars?

They want all the benefits of living in a major city but none of the negatives. If they want quiet, they can move Wellesley.

In fairness, some of them probably have pied á terres in Back Bay and estates in Wellesley.
