Attorney Andrew Leong, witnessed first hand in this election. Since Ute CNC is supposed to be a dcmocratlcttlly elected body which represents the intere~t of Chinatown and South Cove neighborhoods in the city's administration, I feel that it is important the election of its members is done in accordance with any legitimate exercise of the democratic process. J feel that the many violations J observed in the last CNC election makes participation in the political process a mockery. A. Yoter jdentlficatjpn was not check~ or adeqyat~y yerified: The biggest violation of fair election procedure we observed in the CNC election was that voter identification was not checked for a number of people. For example, Yon Lee from your office. Jet Wilson Lee of Dynasty Restaurant repeatedly "vouch" for several of his empJoyt'es. Wilson Lee also wrote a note certifying that a certain employee was a resident of Chinatown, and thil; same note was used by at least four other Dynasty employees to show their residence in Chinatown. On another occasion; we caught severld restaurant employees passing around the same Massachusetts driver•s license to show residency. When Von Lee was called upon hy individuals such a5 Wilwn Lee to intervene, Yon Lee would agree to waive any identification requirement for these particular voters. ·· B. Campais:n worker." ~re allowed to Another violation of fair election procedure we saw involved campaign workers accompanying voters into the voting area and voting booths. Under the CNC ele<.tion guidelines, voters were allowed to "bring in'' individuals to assist them in the voting exercise. The intent of that provision, l believe, was to enable people who are not familiar with the voting process, or people who are illiterate or otherwise handicapped to have the opportunity to participate in tb~ election process by having someone they choose to assist them. However, this rule wa.~ interpreted as allowing campaign workeu to assert their "assistance" on the voters and thereby influencing their vote. We observed 5 or 6 people whom we knew were campaign workers, such as Lucy Chan and Donald Wong, milling about in the voting area after "a.~sisting" a group of voters. They would often go up to a voter and insist on helpihg him or her without the voter's reque.r;;t. I saw these campaign workers marking the ballots for the voter several times and called them on it. However. I was then told by Yon Lee that was allowable under the guidelines. At other times, some of these campaign workers would bring in voters. whom they would give campaign literature, and tell them that was tbe sample ballot, and that they just need to copy the same cheeked numbers onto the official ballots. Since many of the voters were elderly or first time voter who were confused about the proper votin,c procedures, they would unknowingly follow the advise of the~;e campaign worker!'. . ,•.c.· . . I .

Cgnfidegtiality of the \)allots and prlyas;y at tbfi\ yot!ne booths: One other ml\lor problem we saw was that the ballots were not kept secret. There were no voting booths which one would expect io have at any official eJISctlon. At the CNC election, there were only several haphazardly formed partitions over a table where 3 or 4 voters were sometimes put into one cubby hole. Voters also were asked to vote on tht toller counter at the Shawmut Bank where the next person could be observing. Since there was no fortnal procedures regarding the setup of the voting areas In the CNC elev1ion guidelines. even though l observed that several voters copied ballots from one another, or individuals observed how another person voted, I did not have the authority to stop them. There was absolutely no }'lrivacy in the voting ar~ . which caused me serious concerns. These are just a few examples of the more egregious violation of generally accepted election procedures which I and Attorney Leong observed during the CNC elections. Since there were only two of us and we e<>uld not be everywhere at the same time and be constantly apprised of the tlituation. we do rot know how many other violation& of the election procedure occurred. As an attorney and a member of tile Bar, I know how important good procedure is to a fair and legitimate outcome. I understand that the CNC is an autonomous body, independent of the city administration. and hence outside of the jurisdiction of tho city. However. our past experience on a few issues affecting the Chinatown community demonstrated that the city recognized the CNC as a legitimate body representing the wishes of the community. I and other activists in the Chinatown community have serious concerns about the legitimacy of the CNC that was elected under a set of guidelines that is rampant with flaws. I wrote this letter to appeal to you as the leading official of the city not because I have any personal interest in the outcome of the election, but as a citizen who is interested in seeing that the democratic political process not be adulterated. 1 urge you and the city to first assist the CNC in setting up a fair and truly democratic election guidelines that conform with the standard of any official election. And secondly. to haV@ the City of Boston conduct and oversee the next CNC elections to prevent any above-mentioned irregularities from occurring again. I sincerely hope that this will be the last time that any concerned citizen will have to complain about the Irregularities occurred at any CNC election.

While we do not currently intend to file a challenge with your office as to the final results of the CNC election, we believe that we must express our dismay over the manner in which the election was conducted. The most egregious irregularity in the CNC election was the fact that campaign staff were permitted to assist voters in voting. We understand that this practice is provided for in the CNC election guidelines. These guidelines, however, were promulgated by the very parties that were running in this election, and as such, are highly questionable. No properly run election allows such a practice. In fact, these guidelines are unique to the Chinatown Neighborhood Council elections, since no other Neighborhood council uses them. The practice of allowing partisan individuals to 11 aseist11 voters resulted in a number of improprieties durinq the CNC election. For example, one campaign worker operated the entire afternoon inside of the lobby of th~ Shawmut Bank where the election was held. Other campaign workers went back and ~orth between the outside and the voti ng area, intercepting voters and leading them to the polls, while directing them on how to vota. Th&9e campaign workers, i f not acti¥ely promoting the impression that they ware official poll workers, did not attempt to dispel any confusion as to their roles. These campaign workers solicited voters by asking "Can I help you?" as if they were poll workers, sometimes imposing their "asl'5istance" on the voters without request or assent. rn fact, campaign workers physically filled out ballots for some of the voters. Many of the voters were elderly or non-English speaking, or inexperienced in voting, and did not know the difference between a poll worker and a . campaign worker. ! il !' ' I '' S I ' ' -I o·- ~ , '',' . ... , ·' .. . ,,.. ;:··. ,, .. ... , .. ,, ': • • GBLS TEL: 6 17-695-2942 De c 09,93 17 :54 No . 037 P . 03 The entire physical set-up of the CNC election was also highly irregular. Voter privacy, which is a fundament~l requirement of free elections, wa& nonexistent during the CNC election. No enclosed boothg wera provided. Instead voters shared open cubicles and countertops to mark their Dailots. This laok of privacy allowed anyone to view how a voter was votinq. This would severely inhibit anyone, for example, who wished their vote to be kept secret. (Many of the voters were restaurant workers whose employers were CNC candidates, or supporters or particular CNC candidates. } Another irregularity that occurred during the CNC election was that voter identification was not consistently and properly checked. Apparently, voters were allowed to have partisan supporters "vouch" for them as a form of identification. This irregularity occurred across a range of voters. Mora importantly, during the CNC election, absolutely no records wara kept of who voted. Voters did not sign in or lo9 in, or otherwise record the fact that they had voted. Givan that tha only proof of voting was a hand stamp that easily washed away in the fierce rain that fell on Sunday, there was little to prevent a per$on from votinq two or more times. Many of the irregularities listed above were directly observed by someone from your office, Mr. Yon Lee. We are sad to say that this gentleman was quite unsuccessful in enforcing any rules that did exist. For example, we were told that campaign workers were to stay outside of police barricades unless they were ''assisting" voters. Yet 6 or 7 campaign workers not only distributed campaign literature within the barricades, but would accompany voters inside to the Shawmut Bank lobby, and remove the opposition's campaign literature from voters' hands. Nothing was done about this, or to ensure that onoe inside, campaign workers did not campaign or solicit votes. The irregularities listed are not novel occurrences tor a CNC election. similar irregularities occurred in the first CNC election of 1988. In fact, we were extremely concerned that impropriaties would occur in this election, and made a number of requests prior to the election to both your office and the City Election Department, as well as third parties such as the American Friends Service committee and the Jamaica Plain »eighborhood Council, to send impartial observers to oversee tbis election. The City Election Department responded that the CNC election was not their responsibility. Your office sent the ••m• gentleman that oversaw the previous CNC election which was marred by controversy. We realize the new CNC ha& stated that it will. reform the election process. However, reform by the CNC will never ba fully satisfactory. The fundamental problem is that of a conflict of interest. The present mambers of the CNC, who have an interest in protecting their incumbQncy, currently have free rein to set the rules of the election. This situation jeopardizes the I • w , ~ GBL S TEL: 617- 695-2942 Dec 09, 93 17 :54 No.03 7 P.04 inteqrity of the election. The CNC is the body that set its election for the sunday of the Thanksgiving holiday. The CNC is the bo~y that refusea to correct the election ballots even though they were notified in a timely manner that they incorrectly wrote two of the cAndidates' names in Chinese. The CNC ia the body that did not inform the public about an election until 1 month before the election was to take place, giving potential outside candidates just two weeks to prepare their nomination papers and two weeks to campaign. We ask that the city of Boston take control of the Chinatown Neighborhood council elections in the ruture to prevent a racurrenca of this type of travasty of the election prooess. We ask that the City, instead of the CNC, conduct the election. Prorassional election workers should be assigned from the City to run the election. At a minimum, unbiased monitors from the Election Department should be sent to observe the election. We understand from comments made to the Boston Glop' by Mr. Edward Burke, your Assistant Director, that your office may consider the CNC to be an independent body that the City has no responsibility to ensure has a fair election. However, the city of Boston created and empowered the Neighborhood Councils. Tha city of Boston has a duty to ensure that the members of a body on which the city bestows substantial powers are fairly and properly elected. It is a discredit to the City that one ot its Neighborhood Councils was elected i n such an irregular process. We sincerely hope that the improprieties that occurred in the CNC election do not recur in the future. We also hope that your office takes action on this matter. The people of Chinatown and the Asian American population of Massachusetts deserve better than to have the spokepersons for their community elected in suoh a shoddy manner • • ~ GBLS TEL:617-695-2942 Dec 09.93 17:56 No.037 P.05 Thank you for your time and attention.

TEL: 617-232-4158 November 29,1993. Dear Post-CNC Elections Analysis: points to consider 1.There will no concession speech from me and I take it from others. 2.We were constantly harrassed by design and full intention by the Chin Gang out of the so-called gangway barrier into the Election Venue,Shawmut Bank. 3.Suzanne was harassed out of her corner by the muscle bunch and the Golden Age minor minion about some remarks she made. 4. I was constantly harassed by a "little boy" out of Bill Moy's Corner who I was told has already reached the age of majority,rather surprising.He kept up a chant with Bill Moy and others on my nickname Gerry,making canvassing and explaining our platform impossible. I was touched and pushed several times,if I did not restrained myself I know with this gang around and highly oraganized I would be seized by their police accusing me of assault and battery,it has happened too often to too many innocent people by terrible people. 5. I have raised my voice in protests several times when the entrance by the police fence was blocked by this bunch,without regard to the flow of voting traffic,until notice that they were replacing our leaflets,with their pre-designed "ballots" by making them look like the real ones and they were - 1 - asked to just copy and in the event of doubt,just stick them both together!The way they held together by excluding our campaign workers they made sure that theirs were the only "ballots" worth having and with Billy Chin and gang's very smooth tactics,they were able to make voters take the easy route out just copy the pink "ballots" 6.Their campaign has no platform,other than personal attacks,! was called or implicated by their taunts,as a ganster,monkey,were-wolf and a wamanizer.Davis Woo particularly kept saying he loves me,when a few days ago he just got defensive with Eileen of QSCC about writing the wrong Chinese characters and about knocking me off from business to other so that I will for sure be defeated by Bill Moy,an issue supposedly raised that he was born Chinatown resident[now moved on to Dedham!] They are racist as hell by suggesting and saying that I didn't know about Chinatown because I wasn't a resident or born,my reply US Naturalized citizen and has been here thirty years! 7. This same ploy of defamatory accusation has been used to effect during the primary of the Mayoral race,when while canvassing for Rosaria Salerno, Bi 11 y Chin accused me of "what the he 11 you J~ 8h~atown, you cane from outside and all you are good at is taking pictures with Mayoral candidates" refering perhaps my stand next to Rosaria Salerno and James Brett during their visits to our Coalition campaigns for the protection of Parcel C! Because I speak his Toishanese lingo rather well Billy Chin tried many times to demolish our Coalition campaign arguments,of course now we know Frank Chin has been reported as appointed Trustee of the NEMC funds after the Garage has been - 2 - built! 8.During this CNC elections,! went on the 1ssues raised by our leaflets,especially the Environmental problems of this monstrosity,yet I found no answer vocal enough from Frank Chin,their Campaign Orator! LetJface' it his Toishanese,Cantonese,Mandarin and English is not something any one in Chinatowne or elsewhere want to crow about! They got very nervous and upset with our abilities and our youthful energy.Under any other circumstances with electors not put to duress and the tactics that excluded our smooth participation,we would have won! I just know that we aren't that unpopular and I feel that Suzanne's remarks about electors duress is really well founded,otherwise why were they so bloody minded and upset and scared! 9. I just know in my bones that they hate Jerry Chin and they will defeat anybody on his slate! Their previous encounter was the OCBA and AACA 90 Tyler Street eviction rent problems,where I was on Billy and Frank's side,they obviously think me trecherous taking Suzanne's side with Jerry Chin as their whipping bogeyman! Why I took their side ~i~·t them personally,it was just my judgment that it was counterproductive that our Community Resources for Chinatowne be wasted by such litigations from both organizations that are Chinese Service Agencies mainly! I made no money from Billy's side,on the contrary I rather thought that they stole my agenda,after I spoke to AACA lawyer Paul Yee and their Chau- Ming Lee,when we decided to re-organize CCBA,after a very stormy meeting about t he illegality of the CCBA nominations. 10.What I r esent the most are their imf lammatory and totally defamatory - 3 - remarks about anybody that's young and energetic about modernizing Chinatown and its residents,the more archaic they remain,the more Billy and Frank Chin will get to be their God-Fathers! Frankly people are fearful,David Eng's murderers are still at large! Who knows the men behind his murder? Their tactics and behaviour at the polls,working their way of excluding others is really scary indeed! They won a tactical probably a very unprincipled election, I feel we won the issues,by our constant vocalization of them throughout this town,we cannot stand it any longer,enough is enough,the battle goes on,until people see that unprincipled and unjust methods will ulimately fail. I know why we have the young people we are more educated,more connected to the realism of the majoritarian world,we are the connected with the businesses and the professions,that's why we hate their old fashioned prejudices and methods. In the little chicken brain world of the Chin Brothers,all Chinatown should be from their ancestral village of Toishan,any other sub-group Chinese is suspect,there is racism in this narrow-minded family! Notice how they joy up when I said Ruth Moy with her maiden name of Eng is much like my mother who is also Eng.Well we have a very long way to go in educating these old folks that China is not just Toishan and that the diversity there or here of the Chinese is as wide as that of the USA! My my my why do we have to bear these burdens at our young age,as Billy said many times why don't you make Allston the second Chinatown! Isn't this the gangland type turf fights ? With their kind of reverse racism of even Chinese dialect types how can we cure this disease,it is indeed a bad disease that some Overseas Chinese Society try to cure with consireable succes by designating Mandarin as the official lingua franca! am tired and am sure - 4 - most. of you share this feelin g.Retlrement. for these old f 0 lk s 1n. our archa1c. klnd of society where age is everything,we are indeed in for a long haul/ longshore-men one and all!

The CNC is the 21- member body which is supposed to represent the community in advising the city on land development and other neighborhood issues. Last May, the CNC voted to approve the New England Medical Center parking garage in exchange for $1.82 million, despite overwhelming opposition in the community. On November 28, the community will be able to vote for eight representatives to the CNC, in the Business, Agency, Organization, Resident, and Other categories. The election was announced at the beginning of the month, and nominations for candidates closed on November 15, giving us only two weeks to campaign and let the community know what is happening. We are asking everyone to come out and vote for the Chinatown Community Rights slate on Sunday, November 28, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., at the Shawmut Bank (corner of Beach and Harrison). The Chinatown Community Rights candidates are committed to preserving Parcel C for community use, informing and involving the community in CNC decisionmaking, holding bilingual meetings, and improving city services to Chinatown. All Chinatown residents and Asian Americans in the New England area, 14 years or older, are eligible to vote. Just bring an ID with you to vote. The November 28 CNC election is a chance to change Chinatown politics and make decision-making more inclusive and democratic. Please take the time to come out this Sunday; every vote makes a difference. · ~ ~ {$f * lf- c ~• ~l Jf9P lL ~4$t• $ 1~ c~~lif9P lL The Coalition to Protect Parcel C The Coalition to Protect Parcel C II -t ~ $ l'- "}_ ~ • jd_ II II -t Jf~ $ J-f- "}_ ~ • jd_ II Vote for Community Rights!

Parcel Cis a plot of land located next to 34 Oak Street, between Oak and Nassau Streets. This land which formerly belonged to Chinatown as resident housing is now owned by the City of Boston. Nearly five years ago, the Boston Redevelopment Agency (BRA) made a commitment that Parcel C would be preserved for community use, specifically to develop a 50-90,000 square foot Chinatown communty center. Recently, the BRA has changed its position on the Parcel C site for a Chinatown community center. The BRA is considering a proposal made by Tufts/New England Medical Center (NEMC) to build an eight-floor, 455-car garage on the Parcel C plot. In exchange, the Chinatown community would receive either a 10,000 square foot community center or $1.8 million. Now the Chinatown community needs to decide whether or not to accept NEMC's garage proposal. ISSUES OF CONCERN: * The City of Boston had made a commitment that Parcel C community as a location for a 50-90,000 square foot community center by the City of Boston. * The community center is necessary for providing vital human and social services which are now limited due to a lack of space. * The services the community center would provide include health services, ESL classes, citizenship classes, day care, after school programs, youth activities, and community space for functions serving 1000's of people currently on waiting lists. The cost of this community center is estimated at $11-$20 million dollars. * A 455 car garage would present a danger and disruption to the neighborhood because it is dose to an elementary school, day care center, and elderly and residential housing. PARCEL C CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS: 1960s Parcel C originally belonged to members of the Chinatown community. Those homes were taken by the City and razed during urban renewal. The City sold the land to Tufts/New England Medical Center (NEMC). 1987 NEMC proposal to build a 600 car garage on Parcel C causes community to protest; BRA rejects the proposal stating that housing and community development are the highest priority 1988 BRA, NEMC, and Chinatown agree to NEMC's purchase of land on Washington Street in exchange for returning Parcel C to the City for the purpose of developing it for community use 1989- 1992 BRA worked with six community agencies and the Chinatown Neighborhood Council to develop a design and fundraising plan for building a 50 - 90,000 square foot community center on Parcel C 1993 BRA and NEMC are proposing to use Parcel C for a 455-car garage, and give Chinatown a small, 10,000 sq. ft. community center or $1.8 million On Tuesday, May 11, an open community meeting of residents and community organizations voted overwhelmingly to reject the proposal and oppose the garage. The Chinatown Neighborhood Council meeting is scheduled for Monday, May 17 at 6 pm at the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association. It is important to attend to voice your opinion. Teacher's Guide 65 Chinatown Neighborhood Council Election Goals: 1) Students will make decision based 011 analysing a set of written inf-ormation 2) Studenf,s will read information about electi011 candidates in English. Students will compare and choose candidates based 011 mainly analysing the w1·itten information 3) Students willleam about the process of Chinat.own Neighb9rhood Council election and filling - out a secret ballot 4) Students will analyse the election results The Boston Chinatown has a neighborhood council. Members of the neighborhood council meet regularly to talk about the needs of Chinatown and what the city government and the community can do to help. The members were elected for a two-year term. In tile tall of 1991, 8 members of the Chinatown Neighborhood Council finished their term, and the council had an election for the 8 empty seats. There were 14 candidates running for the 8 seats. On the election day, any Asian who lived in Boston could vote for their candidates. Over 600 hundred Chinese carne out to vote. Did you know about the election? Did you vote? Let's make believe that 'the neighborhood council election will be next week. Let's read and talk about the candidates. We then decide among ourselves who we want for the council. Activity 1: Read the "Meet the Candidates" information sheet from SAMPAN newspaper (9/20/91) Among the 8 empty seats, 3 seats were specially for "Residents," meaning candidates for these seats had to live in Chinatown. There were also 3 seats specially for "Community Organizations," meaning candidates had to be worJdng for or representing a Chinatown organization. One seat was for "Business" so the candidates in this group had to know about Chinatown businesses. The last seat was for "Interested Others". It was for candidates with ot11er interests or backgrounds. There are 6 candidates for 3 seats in the "Community Organization." May Chan Frank Chen Jean Lau Chin Joseph S. K Chou Florence Tow Peter Wong 67 Do you know any of the candidates? Did you see their names before? Do you know any of the agencies that the candidates work for? Did you hear any good things or bad things about each candidate? Each candidate said that he or she would do something special for Chinatown if he or she was elected. Among all the things that they said they would do, what is most important to you? Do you think the candidates can do and will do what they said? You may vote for one, or two, or three candidates. Can you vote for four candidates? If you don't like any of the candidates, some elections let you "write in" you own candidates. Some elections don't. You may also. skip this part of the election and go to other parts. If you are voting for one candidate, who will you vote for? If you are voting for two candidates, you will vote for ------and ------If you are voting for three candidates, you will vote for and and ------ Activity 2: Not Enough Candidates to Choose From Let's go back to the "Resident" part of the "Meet the Candidates" information sheet. There were three candidates for three "Resident" seats. What does this mean? This means that each candidate will win a seat. No one will lose. Ronald Lee Father Hugh O'Regan Mary Sao Hoo Will you still vote for this part of the election? Some people said, Teacher's Guide 68 "There should be more candidates than the number of seats. My vote rnal{es no difference. I will skip this part of the election." "I don't like any of the candidates. I will skip this part of the election." "Although all three candidates will win, I want to show that I like one candidate more than the other two. I will vote for------"Although all three candidates will win, I like two of the three candidates. will vote for and ------"I like all three candidates. I will vote for all three." What is your answer? Activity 3: Filling out a Secret Ballot. Do you write your name on a secret ballot? We'll find out which candidates win the election in your class and who really won last fall. Your teacher will give you the election results from last fall. Did any of the winners win by a large number of votes? If the race among candidates is very close, your vote may decide who the final winner is. Election Outcome: Total votes cast -- (661) Resident (3 seats): Ronald Lee (8fj,Father Hugh O'R egan (312), Mary Sao Hoo (337) Community Organization (3 seats): May Chan (212), Frank Chen (148), Jean La.u Chin (287), Joseph S.K.

Re: New Parking Needs - TUFTS claim they will use the rumored-defunct Traveller's Street Parking Garage YMCA is contigent on community acceptance of entire proposal, implied that TUFTS will gladly reduce the already-small size of the YMCA if they are in anyway limited As far as addressing other community agencies, TUFTS feel that they have done enough outreach, and the CNC feels that since it is the YMCA that directly loses space through this deal, they should receive the benefits ... What about the drastic impact and loss of space for all? What about residents' needs and feelings? blah blah ... some defensive stuff from the CNC via Davis Woo about fairness and how open they are, etc ... the structure of the CNC committees dealing with this issue: 2 committees, business and benefits, CNC feels that benefts cannot really move without business approval of TUFTS plan, although they seem to be quite inseparable ... (Davis: I know some say the CNC election was rigged, but it was fair and we were elected ... ) TUFTS will submit an executive and translated suumary of the changes to the Master Plan by Friday, CNC will make it available ... there were a lot of questions about availability of information, and while things were printed in the Sampan, there is general ignorance about the entire situation. Re: Exactly what sort of benefits are we talking about? Pressure on TUFTS to find feasible, solid goals of ways in which Chinatown will benefit led to defensive unease (surprise!) ... they are unwilling to commit themselves to anything beyond vague promises for more jobs, translation, procurement opportunities, the same ol stuff heard from NEMC as well. (gem of a comment from Barbara: Please don't confuse us with NEMC .... gee, how could we?) Enter masterful tirade a Ia Neil Chin: TUFTS Master Plan is NOT the issue - what is being violated is the LEGAL Chinatown Community Plan - begun in 1987 and completed in 1990 by the BRA, CNC former administration, and Tufts/NEMC - promised housing on all lots in question (A,B,C,R-1 ,Posner,DB)- they were all desgnated for Chinatown community- it is a meaningful document and a COMMITTMENT ... TUFTS is only allowed to further develop in the subdistrict for clinical research that is deemed necessary to be within the proximity (Hinge Block) - this is legally binded zoning ... (TUFTS main guy exits at this point due to "prior engagement". whoops. CNC members begin asking for copies of the Community Plan.) Neighborhood groups are supposed to be given 60 days to review changes, but according to TUFTS this plan was presented three years ago... and amendments don't count, so they still want a vote on 8.22 ... Chinatown Neighborhood Council Meeting: Tufts Revised Master Plan Presentation secretary commentary - boy oh boy was this a heated meeting ... davis woo was hopping annoyed (i got a full view of his heaving jitters), and i have never seen so many businessmen (a full four+ the ever-sympathetic community relations magnate Barbara) squirm ... John Roberts (name?) from TUFTS made the presentation: TUFTS was there for two reasons: 1. needs approval from CNC for ~s Master Plan 2. needs approval from CNC for new YMCA plan - changing ~s s~e and plan according to TUFTS, they have been talking w~h the "Chinatown community'' (CNC) for the last three years ... the original master was begun in 1987 under BRA orders to plan out the next 20 years of institutional needs/expansion. The Plan is divided into Ill Phases: 700,000 new sq.ft. total Phase 1: 2 NEW Buildings on Posner Lot (300-325,000 new sq. ft.) Phase II: NEW Building on R-1 Parking Lot (275,000 new sq.ft.) legally only FAR of 1, but TUFTS plan to pet~ion for FAR of 14, 225' high. Phase Ill: where the M&V Research Bldg. already stands (corner of Harrison and Kneeland) - fill lot next to YMCA bubble, add two stories to existing building, fill in courtyard THIS PLAN was presented first in Oct.93 ... the new change presented was changing the s~e of the YMCA from inside the research building to tts own separate stte: YMCA Proposal: Free-standing YMCA oppisite CCBA (Tyler St) between Posner Hall and Residential Town place- 24,000 sq. ft. SHELL space only bui~ by TUFTS ... Iand is SWAPPED for construction rights on P-2, which runs through Posner Parking Lot (7,500 sq. ft.)- TUFTS will file for a land disposttion agreement in which titles are swapped (land is owned by BRA). YMCA construction costs run about 2.24 million. Commun~ Beneftts Linkage Payments stand at approx. 3.8 million wtth first million being paid at the onset of Phase I, but the rest of the payments lie contingent on status of the statute (in other words, they're not wholly liable to pay). TUFTS is clearly violating their Master Plan's goals of keeping a neighborhood characteristic (14 FAR in a residential area?!) and enhancing the landscape to reflect neighborhood heritage (they claim they are not designing yet) ... TUFTS refused to recognize these things, however, and continually argued their need over twenty years was justification enough ... They need to begin on Phase I ASAP (best case scenario for them is Spring '96) because they are in danger of losing Federal Congress-appropriated funds (12 mill), and then they need to appeal the zoning laws (to allow bigger bidgs.) YMCA Shell: consists of ceiling, floors, (approx. 2.5 floors w/half-gym), NO development...minimum of what YMCA needs for projected programs ,j,{ll~ L ' ' • " '-" ' "''"-" "'-C'JLu IL ru _: 835?9611 P . 03 - I &v.~?~, • Sylo 10-04-1993 04: 45PI"I FROJ·1 SDUTHCDVECHC TO 83579611 P . 02 1'713 tNtti111'PtvtJ /So. &ve A/LJ6ifiJ.!JJSF~t?olJ 8-&thtl{].ft .

"It's heartening to see that so many people would take time out of their busy schedules to vote," said John Riordan, Director of the Mayor's Office of Neighborhood Services. "Sunday's turnout is a strong sign that the residents of Chinatown and members of the community care a great deal about the future of their community. Supporting the neighborhood council is an effective way to play a part in the future of the neighborhood. "The Mayor's Office of Neighborhood Services looks forward to working with the new members of the council to continue the important work being done by the council," added Riordan. "I'd also like to thank the members who did not stand up for reelection for all their hard work as members of the council." Balloting took place at the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association Boardroom on Tyler Street and was staffed by the Mayor's Office of Neighborhood Services and volunteers from the community. The election was held to fill eight vacant seats on the council, an advisory organization that offers residents an opportunity to work with the city on development issues and other neighborhood concerns. The City of Boston's Election Commission assisted in validating the tally. 71 percent of those who cast ballots were Boston residents. "The election was a great success, and those who voted and helped out with the process are to commended for taking the time to get involved," said Yon Lee, Chinatown coordinator for the Mayor's Office of Neighborhood Services.

DPW's plan to construct the I-90 WB off ramp discharging at Harrison Avenue and Marginal Road. According to traffic estimates from City of Boston studies, traffic on Marginal Road between Harrison Avenue di scharge point and Washington Street will increase dramatically from nineteen hundred (1900) vehicles to about Twenty Thousand (20,000) vehicles or eleven plus times higher than exist today. In essence, what the Mass DPW is doing is making a local Chinatown street into a major urban arterial roadway. On an average the t raffic on Marginal Road wi ll almost be tripled. Chinatown's most densly populated residenti al neighborhood is severely impacted by the Central Artery Des i gner's i nsersity to the Chinatown community. The I-90 Off Ramp to Harrison Avenue and Marginal Road will severely impact the following Chinatown Neighborhood facilities: 1. Tai Tung Village Housing Complex (Harrison Ave) 2. The Chinese Evagelical Church (Harrison/Marginal) 3. Chinatown Boys and Girls Club (Washington St) 4. Quincy School Community Council (Washington St) 5. The Josiah Quincy Elementary School (Washington St) 6. South Cove Community Health Center (Washington St) 7. South Cove Elderly Housing (Tremont St) 8. NEMC-Day Care Center (Tremont St) 9. Mass Pike Community Housing 10. Acorn Day Center (Oak Street) 11. Acorn Day Center (Tai Tung) 12. Kwong Kow Chinese School (Tyler St) 13. Chinese American Civic Association .. ESL program) 14. Maryknoll Sister Center (Tyler St) Tutoring 15. Don Bosco High School 16. Bay Village Housing 17. Tremont Village Housing 18. The Future Site of our needed affordable housing units. (250-260 units R3-R3A) Washington/Marginal 19. Proposed Chinese Community Center (Oak St) 20. Castle Square Housing Projects (500 Units) 21. Waterford Place Housing Project 22. South Cove Manor Nursing Home Please also note with the increased of traffic, there will also be an increased in accidents. Police statistic and the Registry reported there were over 300 automobile accidents (with injuries that occured on Marginal Rd in 1989.) There has also been two fatalities in the area of vehicles striking pedestrians. (4 year old child and a 80 year old person) As you can see by this listing, thousands of Asians pre-school children, school age children, high school students, elderly people, residents in general, etc. will be severely impacted by the Mass DPW's plans for this Off Ramp. As Co-Moderator for the Chinatown/South Cove Neighborhood Council, I have made the Council's concerns public: 1. Public Meeting .. Quality Inn 2. Letter to you personally 3. Public statement and testimony at the recent hearing on the Central Artery, EIR at Faneuil Hall 4. Numerous meetings with the Central Artery Team Though it is true that the I-90 Off Ramp Plan at Harrison Avenue has remained unchanged for over two (2) years, it is also true that the Chinatown/South Cove Neighborhood Council and the Chinatown Community's concerns on the Off Ramp and the Marginal Road impact on our most densly populated residential neighborhood have also never addressed by the Mass DPW. When the Central Artery Southeast Expressway and Turnpike were constructed, one third of Chinatown was demolished to highway construction, but more importantly Chinatown almost lost its residential neighborhood. Chinatown did lose its Syrians and Greek neighbors in the process, they were forced to move out of Chinatown because of the highway construction. The Chinatown Community cannot and will allow itself to be destroyed by the highway construction a second time. We can clearly envision this distruction. On paper, this ramp looks very innocent, but in reality it will cause severe and permanent damage and scars to Chinatown. The Chinatown/South Cove Neighborhood Council and the Chinatown Community stands ready and willing to discuss this matter, and to resolve this matter to the benefit of the project and the Chinatown Community. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to call. Very truly yours " i tj:?fl:__:__ #17;j c William Moy, P.E. Co-Moderator, CNC cc: Governor Michael S.
