1 Macomber, Jennifer From: Yolande Bennett <[email removed]> Sent: Sunday, March 30, 2025 7:18 PM To: City Council Cc: City Manager; City Clerk Subject: "City Manager's Agenda Item #5" in support of Option #1, No change on Garden Dear Honorable Cambridge City Council, My name is Yolande Bennett and I live at 52 Garden Street. I am writing to support the "City Manager's Agenda Item #5" in support of Option #1. I support option 1 because as a pedestrian who travels on Garden Street to get to work every day, I worry about my future safety, particularly when crossing the street, if Garden Street becomes two- way. Additionally, my senior parents visit me frequently from out of state and they appreciate the convenience of being able to park right outside of my building. If Garden street were to become two- way, it would make it much more difficult for them to visit me. There are several elderly residents of my building who I know would be negatively impacted by this change as well. Thank you, Yolande Bennett 52 Garden Street #26
