On the MBTA Zoning Proposal

Dear Editor,

I am writing to express my concerns and my strong opposition to the  MBTA 3A zoning proposal.

Many of our fellow Winthrop residents have expressed concerns that this proposal is totally inappropriate for Winthrop and would have serious long term negative effects on our town..

Zoning decisions should remain local and not be a “one fits all”  mandate forced on individual communities by Beacon Hill legislators..

I urge our residents to stay strong and to voice our very serious concerns to the Town Council as well as to our State Representative Turco and Senator Edwards

To our Town Council, thank you for expressing concerns to Beacon Hill and asking for reconsideration of the MBTA 3A zoning proposal. .

I strongly urge you as our local legislators to vote to reject this over reaching, significantly damaging and inappropriate legislation being forced on our town.

Thank You

Peter Gill
