Re: Planning Board Project # 20260497 64 Washington Street Civic Space
To whom it may concern:
I'm writing to offer my support for the proposed renovation of the Congress Park pond,
intorm-ally known as -the—"goldfish pond," as the civic space improvement by Bonacio
Construction for planning board project #20260497.
The pond is a beautiful element of Congress Park that has fallen into disrepair and requires
significant renovation and restoration work. The preliminary proposal approved by DPW
includes approximately $40,000 in improvements including but not limited to a replacement
metal pipe handrail, install missing decorative rail, repair and restoration of all masonry elements
including piers and columns, cleaning and repainting the masonry and decorative urns, removing
and resetting disturbed pavers, and cleaning the site including pressure washing the brick pavers.
All work will be reviewed and performed in consultation and with the approval of DPW staff.
This project will restore an important feature of the park for the enjoyment of the public and
improve Congress Park for community gathering and enjoyment.
DPW supports this Civic Space improvement as part of the 64 Washington Street Civic Space
improvements.
