From YouTube: Public Improvement Commission Hearings 6-22-17
Description
The Boston Public Improvement Commission (PIC) is the owner and regulator of the City's rights of way. The PIC plays an integral role in the City's development and permitting process. From the restaurant that wants to add a seasonal cafe on the public sidewalk, to the developer who wants to construct an underground parking garage for a new housing development, or the homeowner who wants to add an architectural feature to a house that juts into the public space, each must seek approval from the PIC to have its private venture occupy public space, either permanently or on a licensed basis.

the

awkward

Thank
you
for
seeing
us
this
morning.
This
project
is
what
we're
calling
phase
1
or
they
named
it,
enabling
project
associated
with
the
Boston
Marathon
memorial
or
what
we're
calling
the
Boylston
marker
project.
O
One
generally
consists
of
pumping
out
the
existing
curb
line
to
accommodate
the
proposed
structure,
modifications
for
the
roadway
to
accommodate
the
new
curb
line,
a
new
8
foot,
wide
accessible,
concrete
sidewalk
between
the
plaza
space
for
the
marker
and
the
property
line,
as
well
as
some
utility
relocations
street
tree
removal
and
a
new
at
the
site,
B
location,
there's
a
new
relocated
estrine
ramp,
a
pedestrian
signal.
Since
our
last
hearing
since
I
was
the
new
business
hearing,
we
have
gotten
our
boring
results
for
the
sighted
mention
that
also
included
in
this
phase.
O
We've
met
with
street
lighting
and
I've
identified
new
locations
for
the
two
new,
the
two
existing
streetlights
that
need
to
be
relocated
and
we've
met
with
Parks
Department
and
gotten
their
approval
to
remove
two
trees
at
each
site
and
we're
currently
in
discussions
with
them
about
species
for
the
replacement
trees.
We've
met
with
the
Arts
Commission
just
this
week
this
for
the
second
time,
and
we
still
have
some
details
to
work
out
with
them
on
the
final
design,
but
they
approved
this
portion
of
the
work
phase.
O
One
we've
continued
to
coordinate
with
Boston
Water
and
Sewer
Commission
on
both
existing
and
potentially
the
proposed
utilities.
We've
submitted
to
the
Back
Bay
architectural
Commission,
but
we
are
meeting
with
them
to
set
for
July
12th
and
we've
met
with
staff.
We
met
with
the
Commission
on
disabilities
and
they
have
some.
We
have
some
follow-up
information
on
the
finished
material
since
we
which
we
will
continue
to
work
with
them
on.
O
O
Had
a
number
of
communications
with
the
tea
they've
asked
us
to
follow
up
of
the
formal
application
to
get
the
formal
process
going.
It's
our
understanding
with
them
is
that
they're
going
to
expedite
review
they've
acknowledged
receipt
of
the
application,
as
well
as
the
check
and
where
it's
the
ball
is
in
their
Court
at
this
point,
but
we'll
continue
to
push
with
them.

H
Q
Mr.
chairman
and
commissioners,
my
name
is
Rebecca
Lee
from
in
eleven
I
represent
when
Massachusetts
LLC
in
this
matter
to
my
right
is
Chris
Gordon,
the
president
of
wind,
design
and
development,
and
to
my
left
is
directly
teenie
from
Howard
signed
husband
associates
here
to
present
to
you
a
penalty
of
improvements
to
be
made
in
Sullivan
square
as
part
of
when
Massachusetts
needs
of
a
related
mitigation
work.
Thank.
R
You
Rebecca
Thank
You
commissioners,
we,
as
you
know,
are
developing
the
resort
over
an
effort
and
as
part
of
that,
we
went
through
an
environmental
process
to
look
at
any
transportation
impacts
we
might
have
on
the
existing
systems.
As
part
of
that,
we
agreed
with
the
state
on
a
package
of
mitigation
improvements,
including
some
work
in
Sullivan
square,
so
we're
now
working
with
the
city
of
Boston
to
implement
those
improvements.
R
So
the
plan
that
Rick's
going
to
explain
in
a
minute
is
proposed
improvements
in
Sullivan
square
there's
also
a
longer
term
project
city's
undertaking
to
that
whole
corridor.
This
is
not
that
this
is
our
mitigation
just
for
our
traffic,
we're
working
closely
with
with
that
team
to
make
sure
we're
coordinated,
but
this
is
an
early
piece
that
we're
going
to
do
now
to
get
this
done
before
we
open.
So
with
that,
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Rick
to
explain
to
you
what
we're
proposing.
S
Between
e
with
how
it's
done,
Hudson
on
Planet
is
given
a
new
business,
I
was
going
to
get
an
overview
rather
than
go
page
by
page
that
I'll
try
to
follow
the
specific
repair
plans
you
have
in
front
of
you.
We
have
several
improvements
here.
One
thing:
foods,
pedestrian
and
bike,
better
buy
accommodation,
so
the
pedestrian
community
replacing
non-client
ramps
in
some
intersections.
S
Tracks
will
also
improve
traffic
flow
as
we
are
creating
on
a
new
street
here,
I
call
it
Beach
and
fee
on
the
plan
because
it
is
directly
across
from
the
existing
beach
and
street
and
in
a
lot
of
people
to
take
a
left
from
Cambridge
Street
onto
Main
Street
in
a
avoid
adding
traffic
into
the
rotary,
we're
also
improving
spy
Street
in
signing
as
people
know,
they
can
go
right
down
spy
street
off
camber
street
to
get
to
Rutherford
southbound,
also
I,
93
southbound.
Once
again,
avoiding
the
rotary
give
them
that
option.
S
D
R
D
R
We
totally
agree
the
issue.
There,
though,
is
that
it
all
gets
ripped
out
in
a
year.
So
we're
probably
a
couple
years
with
the
bigger
fix
we're
trying
to
debate
how
big
a
species
to
put
in
there
versus
grass
versus
so
we've
shown
a
landscape
plan.
That
is
definitely
an
improvement
of
what
they're
today
and
much
better,
but
it
wasn't
large
species
large
trees,
because
they'd
all
come
out.
A
Way
to
be
clear
and
a
MacArthur
on
Albert
Street
is
not
currently
it's
not
part
of
this
new
business
submission
right,
you'll.
Actually,
that
will
be
presented
on
the
13,000,
your
business.
So
with
that
in
mind
for
the
for
that
presentation,
as
new
business
on
the
13th
correct
it'd
be
great
to
be
able
to
sort
of
think
what
that
they're
high
quality
but
understand.
S
F
S
S
F
All
going
to
be
within
a
public
right-of-way
and
then
we're
going
to
sign
a
separate
MoU
with
the
MBTA
saying
that
they
can
control
and
permit
and
maintain
both
the
bus
lane
and
the
sidewalk
that
is
sandwiched
between
their
bus
and
their
bus
lanes.
So
that
we're
not
disrupting
with
permitting
or
utilities.
H
F
Well
so
Tom's
working
with
the
MBTA,
it's
not
required
before
the
vote,
because
it's
going
to
be
within
a
public
right-of-way.
It's
just
laying
out
who's
going
to
permit
that
bus
lane
and
that
so
that
we're
not
cutting
utilities
through
the
bus
lane.
And
then
the
MBTA
comes
back
out.
We'll
keep
all
the
city
stuff
out
of
the
bus
lane
and
let
the
MBTA
permit
the
bus
lane
and
that
they'll
maintain
the
city
sidewalk.
That's
kind
of
sandwiched
in
between.
S
S

U

U

U

U

U

A
G
So
the
fun
mechanics
from
the
Water
and
Sewer
standpoint.
This
is
a
very
firm
Eberly
standpoint.
It's
a
very
complex
area
and
the
plan
set
was
just
as
complex,
so
we
have
been
going
back
and
forth
with
when
and
carry
and
it's
we've
had.
Some
meetings
recently
have
been
very
helpful,
so
we
are
moving
closer
towards
completing
plan,
but
we
are
not
there
yet.
The
Commission
still
has
Water
and
Sewer
Commission
still
has
some
outstanding
design
issues
before
we
have
three
weeks
before.
G
We
need
to
have
a
favorable
vote
on
this,
which
they
need
to
be
addressed.
So
examples
are
there's
issues
on
D,
Street
drainage,
some
of
the
discontinuance
areas,
we're
not
sure
that
our
water
main
is
completely
going
to
be
in
the
new
right-of-way.
You
think
it
may
be
clipped
in
one
of
the
area's
that's
going
to
be
discontinued.
This
is
going
to
make
sure
of
that
and
then
there's
ownership
issues
with
there
are
assets
out
there,
drainage
assets,
MBTA
that
need
to
be
finalized
before
here
in
three
weeks,
man.
S
Q
D
L
S
D
J
H
V
They
have
upwards
of
500
patrons
to
bake
and
cross
through
that
area
there,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
was
going
to
be
a
safe
passage
for
them,
as
well
as
for
the
cyclists
to
so.
What
we
did
is
we
started
working
with
the
Transportation
Department
last
summer,
coming
up
with
alternatives
of
ways
that
could
work
with
people.
What
we
have
here
before
we've
submitted
is,
is
the
approach
on
how
we
can
make
it
safe
with
cyclists,
as
well
as
safety.
V
V
They
provided
comments.
We've
incorporated
those,
so
the
traffic
department
has
accepted
this
approach
that
we
have
here
work
with
fossil
web
service
commission
to
make
sure
that
any
relocation
doing
some
adjustments,
catch
basin
and
also
limitation
of
the
three
surgeries
they've
accepted
the
rotational
levels,
our
work
with
Parks
and
Recreation
your
approval
or
removal
relocation.
This
creates
February

2007,
teen
least
Switek
lands
in
February,
the
Back
Bay
architecture,
Commission
on.
Let's
approve
April
12.
V
And
we've
also
coordinated
with
Public,
Works
and
mass
time
on
the
virtue
quit
lines,
which
was
a
new
twist.
We
had
and
want
to
make
sure
whatever
they
were
doing
was
we
were
not
going
to
be
comfortable
depend
on
the
reverse.
They
are
making
modifications
to
the
crosswalks
there.
They
were
upgrading
the
cross
block.
We
changed
our
design
to
actually
match
that,
so
that.
V
D
So,
gentlemen,
toast
and
expand
your
civil
engineers
are
given
power
once
so.
Sorry,
for
would
you
go
on
the
project
really
physical
project
to

but
there
are
a
lot
of
dynamics
that
are
associated
with
the
cycle
track
and
you
have
consulted
a
variety
of
city
agencies,

you
can
see
in
the

here
in

Street
Garage,
which
we
developed
a
couple
of
years
ago
and
immediately
adjacent
to
the
artist
for
Humanity
in
fronts,
on
both
west
1st
and
West.
Second

The
building
will
also
not
only
have
office
space
but
convening
space
open
to
the
public.
Small

35

Innovation,

seem

be
on

One
of
the
main
features
is
a
open
to
the
public
passageway
from
West,
2nd
to
West,
first
Street,
similar
to
the
channel
Center
building
one
channel
Center
building,
which
will
be
open
to
the
public
approximately
18
hours
a
day
and
provides
what
we
think
is
a
much
more
convenient
traverse
crowd.

Q
What
is
let
me
also
just
clarify,
there's
an
existing
tenant
at
the
buildings.
The
construction
of
this
project
won't
happen
until
our
clients
acquires
the
property
and
also
until
the
existing
tenants
vacate
the
building.
So
we
are
in
the
early
schematic
stages
of
design,
and
so
obviously
we
will
have
a
construction
management
plan.
E
Q
It's
an
occupied
building,
and
so
our
client
is
purchasing
the
property
and
we're
here
with
the
authority
of
the
owner
of
the
building
who's,
a
co
petitioner
with
us.
When
that
tenant
vacate
the
building,
then
we
will
be
able
to
demolish
it
and
then
construct
the
new
project.
So
I
just
wanted
to
suggest
that
the
construction
of
the
project
is
not
imminent
and
it
wouldn't
happen
without
the
without
a
construction
management
plan.

We

who
is
the
owner
of

project
and
overview.
The
project
is
six
story,
parking
garage
with
stories
of
office,
we're
adding
two
more
stories
of
office
on
top
of
it
and
as
part
of
kind
of
the
rebranding
effort
and
having
more
tenants
in
this
building.
We
wanted
to
make
a
lobby
a
little
bit
more
prominent
to
have
better
beautiful
streets,
so
business
for
approval
for
the
canopy,
which
is
getting
elongated.
It's
not.
It
doesn't
have
a
larger
projection
into
a
sidewalk,
though
the.

Canopy
of
closed
canopy
is
very
similar
to
the
existing
canopy.
That's
out
there.
Now,
both
the
existing
proposed
project
2.3
feet
into
the
public
way.
The
existing
canopy
is
12
feet
above
bridge.
The
new
canopy
will
be
twelve
point,
eight
feet
above
grade
with
a
little
bit
higher.
The
existing
canopy
is
about
25
feet
long.
This
canopy
is
46
feet
long
coats
longer
in
length.
It
will
be

At
the
at
the
corner,
how
long?
How
is
the
solution
expect
office
will
be
managed
in
terms
of
delivery
and
people
body
boots
off
at
kidding,
Mississippi
the
Dunkin
Donuts,
so
these
are
the
dancers
which
the
city
will
continue
to
have
in
terms
of
how
you
manage
your
commercial
operation
at
a
very
key
nodes
in
position.
So
have
you
given
some
thought
as
to
how
the
commercial
component
is
going
to
interact
with
them
massively
purchase?
Today
we
are
so
Facebook
as
well
unlikely.
T
Yet
we
would
anticipate
that
deliveries
can
still
happen
off
of
the
same
intersection
of
the
lighted
intersection
and
come
in
through
the
back
there's
sufficient
space
to
park
a
part
of
a
good-sized
truck
that
we
don't
expect
will
be
enormous
trucks,
but
we
do
have
the
ability
in
the
back
as
of
right.
Now
there
is.
AA
D
Point
I
may
want
to
make
it
sometimes
we
don't
catch
on
to
your
commercial
component
and,
let's
assume
you
have
a
set
of
bank
of
individual
back.
You
know
people
some
of
the
main
roads
to
go
in
for
about
three
minutes
or,
however
long,
however
long
it
takes
for
us
to
get
some
money,
so
we
have
illegal
in
trouble.

I'm
Arizona,
there
are
there's
no
parking
rates
now,
in
this
stretch
of
high
park,
a
bat,
a
battle
and
there's
no
the
space
for
parking.
So
you
guys
like,
if
I,
providing
the
easement
and
by
doing
a
specific
repairs,
you're,
essentially
going
to
be
carving
in
a
new
space
for
eight
different,
either
commercial
or
residential
parking
spaces.
Okay,
and
that's
the
active
conversation
with
btv.
That
was
a
whether
this
is
the
right
place
for
that
user.
Right.

Jeffrey

Public

engineering
division,
almost
part
of
the
innocence
that
zest
encourages
STV,
almost
part
of
the
choice,
neighborhood
initiative.
We
were
tasked
with
reconstructing
registry
from
local
Avenue
to
Columbia
Road
collaboration
with
the
city's
compartmental
agencies
for
the
community.
We
could
come
from
the
design
that
helps
improve
safety,
as
well
as
the
look
of
Queen

throughout
the

So
this
would
have
been
great
because
we're
out
there
working
right
now
and
we're
getting
all
of
our
utilities
so
that
we
can
come
in
with
this
project
where
we
do
the
streetscape
so
perfect
scenario.
Until
the
gas
company
came
along
so
I
just
wanna
make
sure
everybody
is
aware
of
the
issue
from
Columbia
Road
through
the
redline
tract,
which
has
the
potential
to
delay
great
potential
to
delay
crossing
water
and
sewers
work,
which
was
an
impact.
