JPNA Newsletter (6/17/2020 Edition)

Community Updates

Hello Jeffries Point Neighbors!

Although we continue to social-distance for public health reasons, there continue to be activities and planning happening in the neighborhood.  We wanted to share these updates with you:

Traffic Safety at Orleans Street and Marginal Street – Petition
The intersection of Orleans Street and Marginal Street is extremely busy and has been a concern to the neighborhood for quite some time.  In the wake of the recent accident, the JPNA is petitioning the City to expedite the study of this intersection and implement traffic calming measures.  Click here to view the petition.

Tree Inventory Training:  Please join Speak for the Trees for a virtual tree inventory training webinar on Thursday, June 18, from 6:00pm to 7:30pm. This webinar will be done over Zoom. You can register for the meeting here. You will need to simply add your name and email address. After registering, a link to access the webinar will be sent to your email address that you provided. If you have any questions, please ask Michael at michael@sfttbos.org.

Low Cost Rain Barrels:  Eastie Farm and Tree Eastie have recently partnered to offer East Boston residents rain barrels! Rain barrels are available immediately on a sliding scale of $10-$30. Typically, this size would cost you more than $100. Best of all, socially distanced volunteers are available to help you pick the right location and set up your rain barrel, ensuring it is in place immediately. If you have any questions or would like to order please email eastiefarm@gmail.com    Click online here. Cash, check, or Venmo is accepted. If you’d like more than one barrel, fittings will be supplied to connect them together. Installation instructions are available if you would like to DIY

EBHCS Summer Webinar Series: The East Boston Harborside Community School is hosting a series of 6 webinars over the summer to help the community stay connected. Topics include: Community Awareness and Updates, School Opening and COVID Updates from EBNHC. All are FREE and held over zoom.  For a list of dates and how to register please go to www.ebhcs.org or their Facebook page.
