Clarence Frost. Again if you could give your name and address for the record and you'll have a three minute timeframe.
You've been very patient. Thank you.

Hi my name is Clarence Frost. | live at 63 Chestnut Street in Nashua. | didn’t get an education on the debate you guys had
going on with the Commissioner. | had no clue.
I’m here about Chestnut Street and the urban bike trail. | left pictures for people to see about the drunk and the drunken
problems that | have to look at every day. | bought this property 24 years ago. It wasn’t as bad. Every year that goes by, it’s
getting worse and worse. | call the police. | have pictures of people urinating. Show it to the police, what they can do? Tell
them not to do it? They don’t arrest them and they’re still there doing it. The only reason why | see it more today is because
I’m on temporary disability. | ain't got a choice but to stay home and look at it every day now.
When he did the urban renewal when they redid Chestnut Street, they put a nice island at the end of my street. When they
first did it, it looked great. | don’t think it’s been mowed, mulched, trimmed, or nothing for the last five years. | fixed up the
front of my property which | was told | own and the city owns. | don’t know who owns it but | take care of it. There’s a tree
down the middle of Chestnut Street. A couple of years ago we had a big tree fall and take out power lines. Thank god it
didn’t hurt any children. There’s another tree right next to it and half of it is dead. When is the city going to take it out?
When it takes out a house...
Donna Graham, Legislative Affairs Manager
One minute.
Clarence Frost
...another power line, or a child? I’m a taxpayer. | pointed out to my alderman even the ones in the past and it seems like it
never gets done. The tree streets get dumped on all the time. | keep telling people this neighborhood is what we make out
of it. | decorated every Halloween and Christmas.
Donna Graham, Legislative Affairs Manager
Thirty seconds.
Clarence Frost
You get (inaudible) some nice to look at. I’d just like the city and the aldermen to do something for the neighborhood and not
just say it’s another problem we never solve. The community’s got to solve it too but we can only do so much. Thank you.
Anthony Storace
| did not sign up but | wanted to thank the Board for allowing the Board of Health to do their jobs and also to thank Tom. |
look forward to working with him and communicating more with him. Don't forget we have a meeting tomorrow. Again, thank
you very much. | promise you'll see less of me but we will come to the Board. We've been invited to. Alderman Schmidt
thank you for the nice e-mail. | appreciate that and all the rest of you that have helped. Thank you very much.
