Back in September, we reported about an irritated resident upset about the gate at Jeffries Point on Sumner being locked. Eventually, the gate was reopened and all was right in the neighborhood. Well, the “situation” has reared its ugly head again!
See 311 report below:
Thank you for removing the lock and pin in the gate to Harbor Walk in Jeffries Point, East Boston. Unfortunately, it is locked again. I happened to be out walking and saw it was someone going/coming from the yacht club. Can you clarify: does the gate belong to the club or the city? If it belongs to the club, I’m not sure what can be done, but if it is city property, can you please remove the lock again and connect with the yacht club to ask it remain open so the path can be accessible to cyclists, strollers, wheelchairs, & city park vehicles? Many residents I talk to are frustrated that someone keeps closing it, which is why I put the 311 request in. Thank you.
