Subject: Support for the Boston Garden Development Project

Dear Mr. Fitzgerald ,

As a participant and leader in the sustainable development community, I am writing to indicate my full support of the Boston Garden Development project proposed by Boston Properties and Delaware North at 80 Causeway Street. The Proposed project will provide the following benefits:

Promotes a SMART Growth transit oriented development and sustainability.

Provides much needed front door to the TD Garden, improving and promoting pedestrian rather than vehicular traffic.

Creates an exciting mix use development project on what is today an asphalt – black top parking lot.

Transforms a blighted and crime rid sub sector into a safe and vibrant mix use community.

Furthermore, this type of project is a critical step in the fight against climate change. Projects such as this one are small but meaningful steps towards reducing carbon emissions.

Thank you very much for your consideration and registration of my endorsement for this important SMART Growth development above one of New England’s most important transportation hubs.

Sincerely

Joshua S Finn
