Mayor Martin J. Walsh spent some time on the North End waterfront Wednesday night speaking to neighborhood residents at a fundraiser hosted by John and Catherine McDonnell. Many in the crowd spoke to the Mayor about their concerns with the proposed Lewis Wharf Hotel project. In his remarks, Walsh was noncommittal about the development other than saying he would give residents an early opportunity to weigh in before plans got too far down the road. In his more general comments, the Mayor focused on his citywide planning initiative, Imagine Boston 2030 as well as housing and public school efforts.
