Description
The Public Improvement Commission Hearings held on 12-23-2020.
A
C
A
Aye
so
moved
moving
on
to
the
rescheduled
public
hearing
continued
portion
of
the
agenda.
Our
first
item
is
on
optician
by
national
grid
for
a
graduate
location
to
install
a
gas
regulator
station
an
associated
infrastructure
within
sea
of
rooms,
avenue
a
public
way
must
roxbury
from
center
street
to
a
point
southeast
of
brown
terrace
generally
at
address
number
17-19.
A
This
was
new
business.
On
november
11
2020
had
its
first
public
hearing
on
december
20,
sorry
december
3rd
2020..
This
is
shown
on
a
set
of
plans
entitled
city
of
boston,
public
works,
department,
engineering,
division,
grant
of
location
plan,
severance
avenue
and
brown
terrace
to
make
a
plain
five
sheets
date:
october
26,
2020.
A
D
A
D
D
The
inlet
and
outlet
piping
will
be
in
the
street
on
stevens
and
at
that
point,
at
the
new
business
hearing,
the
commission
members
asked
us
specifically
to
reach
out
to
boston
transportation
department,
specifically
mr
hesford,
that
conversation
has
taken
place.
Joe
carroll
did
that
discussion
with
mr
hesford
and
he
is
comfortable
with
the
plan.
D
In
the
meantime,
with
the
deferment
from
the
previous,
we
have
gotten
a
more
conclusive
traffic
management
plan.
That
clearly
indicates
that
sevens
will
be
open
during
the
duration
of
work
and,
as
I
mentioned,
the
large
number
of
customers
on
this.
So
this
is
a
construction
project
that
if
we
were
lucky
enough
to
get
approved
by
the
commissioners,
we
would
probably
need
to
start
in
the
spring
going
in
through
the
summer.
A
D
E
So
from
the
from
the
curb
point
to
the
back
end
of
where
you
have
the
the
street
light
is
about
two
feet
wide.
It
is
thus
that
the
traffic
box
will
fit
in
it's
going
to
extend
beyond
that
point,
so
we're
going
to
stay
within
that
little
section
and
you're
still
going
to
have
more
space
for
pedestrians
or
for
the
wheelchair
personnel
to
wheelchair
individuals
to
access
the
cycle.
A

My
name
is
jeff
gannom.
I
am
the
project
manager
for
the
huntington
theatre.
Thank
you
to
the
commission
for
hearing
us
today.
Our
project,
as
you,
as
you
may
be
aware,
is
the
renovation
of
the
historic
huntington
theater,
and
what
we
are
here
before
you
say
to
discuss
is
the
temporary
opening
of
the
sidewalk
for
access
for.
H
C
I
Okay,
great
thanks
jeff
for
the
introduction,
as
stated,
we
are
here
today
for
the
petition
of
the
temporary
support
of
excavation
within
the
huntington
avenue
right
of
way
on
the
screen
here,
and
hopefully
you
can
see.
My
screen
are
the
proposed
conditions
and
then
here
we
go
with
the
existing
conditions.
Looking
from
the
southwest
at
the
building
elevation
of
the
existing
conditions
and
the
existing
sidewalk
conditions.
I
So
what
we're
proposing
for
the
temporary
support
of
excavation
is
approximately
97
feet
of
excavation
with
drilled
micropiles
timber
lagging
which
will
all
be
internally
braced.
The
supportive
excavation
is
required
for
the
installation
of
the
proposed
utilities
and
also
for
the
installation
of
the
subsurface
detention
system.
The
storage
tank
will
extend
just
beyond
the
property
line
on
the
east
side
through
section
here,
on
section
b,
you
can
see
the
bigger
the
larger
extents
of
the
soe
for
the
pedestrian
detours.
I
A
cmp
has
been
submitted
by
shawmut
and
is
currently
being
coordinated
with
the
boston
traffic
department,
as
was
mentioned
and
highlighted
in
the
new
business
hearing.
I
know
chief
osgood,
one
of
your
concerns
was
regarding
the
disruption
to
the
adjacent
e-line
tunnel,
the
symphony
hall
and
the
the
underpass
and
mary
can
expand
on
this
further.
But
care
was
taken
to
the
design
of
the
soe
with
the
drilled
piles
versus
the
driven
piles
and
with
that
that
summarizes
basically
the
soe.
I
A
J
Sure,
like
joshua,
said
we're
using
drilled
piles,
which
have
very
low
vibrations,
as
you
can
see,
we're
actually
installing
some
right
up.
You
know
within
about
five
feet
of
the
huntington
theater.
So
that's
if
any
structure
is
going
to
be
subject
to
vibrations,
it's
going
to
be
the
it's
going
to
be
the
huntington
theater.
But
anyway,
you
know,
as
far
as
the
retaining
walls
for
the
underpass
those
are
about
20.
You
know
20
feet
at
25
feet
away.
J
We
really
don't
expect
any
vibrations
there,
although
we
are
planning
on
putting
a
couple
monitoring
points
on
them
just
to
see,
if
there's
any
deflection
of
those
walls
sort
of
within
50
feet.
Of
where
we're
doing
our
excavation,
the
actual
bridge
itself
is
200
feet
away,
so
we're
not
planning
on
doing
anything
anything
there.
J
A
C
K
C
A
Bye.
Moving
on
to
our
final
item,
an
informational
discussion,
that's
pretty
wide
mayor's
permission
for
persons
with
disabilities
in
the
composition
of
the
public
improvement
commission,
an
announcement
by
the
kic
chairman.
As
some
of
the
line
may
already
know,
the
mayor
proposed,
the
council
approved
a
modification
to
the
composition
of
the
public
improvement
commission.
A
Currently,
the
public
improvement
commission
has
representation
from
water
and
sewer
property
management.
Isd
transportation,
department
of
public
works
department
that
five-minute
member
commission
is
wonderfully
going
to
be
expanded
to
six
with
the
inclusion
of
the
mayor's
commission
of
persons
with
disabilities.
Obviously,
three
folks
who
have
been
very
engaged
in
all
of
our
work
for
the
last
for
years,
christian
akash,
sarah
leon
mendez
have
always
played
sort
of
an
integral
role
to
the
work
that
we
do,
but
in
many
ways
by
expanding
the
actual
voting
composition
of
the
pic.
L
Chief,
I
can
lead
me
off
from
my
department
I'd
like
to
thank
all
the
members
of
the
commission
for
your
partnership.
Over
the
last
decade,
we've
worked
all
together,
really
hard
on
different
policies
and
implemented
lots
of
work
in
the
city,
that's
truly
accessible
and
goes
beyond
ada
compliance.
It
really
leads
towards
ideal
access,
and
this
is
just
a
great
honor
for
us
and
it's
a
responsibility
that
we
welcome.
As
you
said,
we've
been
working
together
for
a
long
time
and
my
dually
capable
staff
is,
is
very.
L
M
I
think
I
might
be
on
a
little
bit
of
a
lag,
but
I
also
want
to
echo
commissioner's
words.
We
really
appreciate
the
support
that
you,
chief
and
as
well
as
the
other
commissioners,
have
given
our
department
so
we're
looking
forward
to
being
a
part
of
the
formal
process
to
represent
and
bring
awareness
to
issues
that
are
important
to
residents
and
visitors
in
the
city
of
boston's,
who
who
have
disabilities.
A
A
All
right
well,
our
first
pic
meeting
of
2021
will
be
on
january
14th.
So
look
forward
to
having
you
guys.
Part
of
that-
and
this
concludes
our
2020
pricing
hearing
thanks
so
much
to
all
the
participants,
all
the
members,
the
public
who
have
gone
and
offered
comment
all
the
fellow
commissioners
to
todd
to
avi,
to
karen
to
para
and
in
many
ways
to
chong
and
and.
