Thanks to a call from a passerby who witnessed the taking of one of the signs, the two signs identifying the Mary Cummings Park have been located. The 3'x5' signs and their installation were a gift from the Friends of the Mary Cummings Park. They were discovered missing last Wednesday.
Over the weekend the Friends of the Mary Cummings Park were informed that an eyewitness had seen one of the signs being taken by the City of Boston. On Monday the Friends' lawyer called Boston's Trust Department to confirm, and was told that the signs had been taken down because "it's our land". When asked what Boston's objections to the signs were, the official replied there were plenty of signs already up including "no trespassing" signs. She said the Friends' signs would be returned but they were not to be put back up.
Friends of Mary Cummings Park put up the signs because there are no signs identifying the park. To see the Friends' signs, go to the Friends website www.cummingspark.org
We are grateful for all the expressions of support that we have received.
