Write and ask them to reconsider the decision to raze the existing park. Encourage these agencies to rehabilitate and renew the existing historic park design to accommodate changing needs. Point out that the park as it was originally designed met, and continues to meet, the expressed goal of creating Boston's windows on the waterfront and on the world that is the legacy of the city's long and valued maritime past. Insist on the establishment of a maintenance endowment so that this heritage park will be protected. This pioneering work of modern landscape architecture must be preserved for future generations.
