Hello Neighbors:
Please note that we have a special topic NPA meeting dedicated entirely to the topic of public safety in the New North End and Burlington. Additionally, our normal NPA date (the 4th Wednesday) was moved to Dec. 15th to avoid a conflict with the Christmas holiday. The W4/7 NPA Steering Committee is excited to offer this important conversation and encourage all Ward 4 and 7 residents to attend virtually on Zoom or in person at the Miller Center.
