The proposed modifications to the Building 9 parking lot would result in a reduction of <br />total parking by eight stalls. <br />7. Boston Scientific has provided a Campus Parking Plan that identifies existing parking <br />stalls and proof of parking areas to meet the current needs of the approximately 2,200 <br />employees on the property. <br />8.
