Two join Boston Civic Design Commission

The office of Mayor Thomas M. Menino announced the recent appointment of Daniel St. Clair and Andrea Leers to fill two vacancies on the Boston Civic Design Commission.

Menino also appointed Ed Tsoi as commission chair; Tsoi has served as a commissioner since 1993.

The commission is a design advisory body that serves both the Boston Redevelopment Authority, the city's planning agency, as well as developers and architects doing business before the BRA.

A trained architect, St. Clair is a senior vice president at Jones Lang LaSalle, a real estate money management and services firm with local offices and headquarters in Chicago, the BRA said.

Leers is a principal at Leers Weinzapfel Associates, a Boston architecture firm.

St. Clair and Leers fill commission vacancies left by the departures of Joan Goody and Curtis Davis, the BRA said.
