In a response to a comment on a recent Mary Souza newsletter, Councilman Dan Gookin writes:

A question that must be asked of all 2013 City Council and Mayoral candidates is how they feel about a new URD on East Sherman. Based on past experiences, I believe their answers would add to transparency to get the candidates on the record before they’re elected. Or re-elected.

Question: Would you like to see an urban renewal district formed to upgrade the eastern end of Sherman Avenue?
