One comment for Driscoll... it is not up to you to decide anymore.   The City of Lynn is doing the right thing to protect their neighborhoods.  It was not Lynn, but Salem's officials which used politics to rezone a parcel and designate a stream in the wrong time of the year, and ignore state DEP wetland designations (by following Salem's outdated wetlands ordinance from the 70's) to allow this project to push through.


The presentation of the project before the Salem Planning Board did not advocate for the best interest of the protection of wetlands, watershed, flood hazard areas, historical resources, privacy, health safety and welfare for all citizens in different communities, affected by the project site.
