Thank You to everyone who has already registered their attendance at https://linkto.run/p/BHIRQ8DD. Please come to this final meeting. Our presence continues to matter a great deal to show the Con Comm that we care about protecting Spy Pond. If you haven't already done so, please register your attendance.

The Con Comm hearing will be held this Thursday 11/15 at 8:15pm in the O'Neill Room at the Arlington Police Station, 112 Mystic Avenue. Please attend.

At the 11/1 meeting, the Con Comm indicated that they will make a decision to deny or approve the proposal after the 11/15 meeting so this is the final opportunity for the public to share our comments and opposition to Seaver's proposal. The protected buffer is Spy Pond's primary defense against negative impacts such as nutrient runoff, water pollution, siltation, erosion, vegetation change, and habitat destruction. If this proposed development allowing 2 houses to be built that extend deep into the 100 foot buffer zone around Spy Pond, it will set a terrible new precedent for building on Spy Pond, Mystic Lake, and other Arlington Wetlands.

Also, there is still a need to cover the growing legal costs to fight this proposal. We are using the services of environmental lawyer Liz Pyle, who has been critical in this fight. If you can contribute to the legal expenses, please do so at: https://www.gofundme.com/protect-spy-pond . Any amount is appreciated.
