From YouTube: Public Improvement Commission Hearings 8-10-17
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.
A
Good
morning,
like
the
call
to
order
the
public
improvement
commission
hearing
of
august
10th
2017.,
the
first
item
is
a
poll
hearing
continued
on
a
petition
by
eversource
energy
to
relocate
one
utility
pole
on
wembeck
street
roxbury
located
east
of
harold
street
the
polling.
The
first
poll
hearing
was
on
july
13
2017.
The
second
was
on
july
27
2017.
B
C
D
D
When
I
requested
the
further
clarification
in
a
meeting
with
them
to
run
a
line
to
make
sure
that
there
was
clearance
and
then
there's
there's
also
an
issue
of
the
three
foot
clearance
that
they
need
from
the
house
for
the
line
that's
set
by
them.
So
that's
something
I
feel
to
be
worked
out
as
well.
Plus
there
were
other
options
that
weren't
addressed
in
their
final
decision
and
that
was
to
feed
from
another
poll.
The
next
poll
down.
D
That
also
goes
over
our
property
in
another,
a
button
property
that
are
both
empty
lots.
D
So
I
would
just
like
to
and
I'm
willing,
if
we
have
to
to
have
this
rare
poll
put
on
our
property
if
it
has
to,
because
that
will
at
least
still
give
us
the
opportunity
to
use
a
lift
or
whatever
we
have
to
do
to
get
onto
the
side
of
our
house
now,
because
that
was
taken
away
from
us,
because
this
new
property
was
dug
down
the
street
level,
where
all
the
other
houses
are
up.
D
On
a
hill-
and
that
was
never
discussed
with
us,
we
would
never
approach
with
that
prior
to
the
project
being
being
commenced.
So
just
looking
for
for
more
time
to
sit
down-
and
you
know-
meet
at
the
property
and
walk
things
out,
that's
all.
A
I
appreciate
the
feedback
and
I
appreciate
all
that
eversource
has
done
to
try
to
find
a
resolution
as
it
sounds
like
we
still
don't
have
a
complete
resolution.
I
understand
that
you
want
to
go
with
the
original
plan
if
we
were
to
spend
the
next
four
weeks
actually
coming
to
a
final
resolution,
whether
it's
with
the
original
proposal
or
a
revision
that
works
for
for
all
parties,
would
that
be
able
to
work
work
for
you.
B
E
Appreciative
of
the
ongoing
dialogue
which
you
all
are
having
what
assurances
can
you
give
us
that
you
all
are
working
towards
a
resolution
so
that
we
are
not
facing
this
situation
again
on
september
7th?
Do
you
need
the
city's
assistance
in
bringing
this
mandatory
resolution,
or
are
you
comfortable
that
you
and
the
gentleman
can
manage
the
situation
without
the
city's
engagement
and
or
intervention.
B
B
They
could
have
went
another
way,
but
then,
with
the
way
the
pole
line
in
the
back
and
everything
they
decided,
it
was
easier
and
more
cost
efficient.
Going
from
the
street.
B
E
B
Portfolios
from
eversource
he's
the
one
who
met
out
in
the
field,
and
he
came
back
to
me
saying
that
this
would
be
the
final
option.
I
mean
he
answered
from
what
I
understand
he
answered
mr
calendar's
questions.
E
E
Think
what
would
be
more
preferred
is
the
chair
is
giving
on
four
weeks
to
manage
the
situation
in
about
two
weeks.
Try
and
achieve
some
understanding
if
you
feel
either
party
that
you
are
unable
to
talk,
is
there
a
position
which
the
city
can
engage
to
not
to
influence
party
a
or
b,
but
just
be
in
a
position
to
report
back
to
the
commission
as
to
the
proceedings?
E
B
F
Parties
have
kept
pic
staff
involved
in
the
conversations
and
we've
been
aware
of
them.
We
haven't
necessarily
taken
an
active
role
in
any
of
the
discussions
or
negotiations,
but
we
have
been
aware
of
them.
A
A
Can
you
tell
us
a
little
about
this
proposal,
mr
vernon?
Oh.
I
Teddy
is
a
remarkable
human
being
he's
soon
to
be
89
years
old.
On
september
15th,
I've
lived
in
the
neighborhood
37
years
and
I've
watched
teddy
every
winter
shovel
the
snow
from
johnswood
road
to
brown
avenue
on
the
path
which
is
now
called
johnswood
footway
and
I
think
in
his
honor
him
being
an
exemplary
citizen.
I
E
F
E
J
F
E
F
Changes
I
can
share
the
list
with
you.
We
update
it
every
once
in
a
while
at
the
request
of
the
various
departments.

The
next
item
is
on
a
set
of
joint
petitions
by
wind,
mass
llc,
tev,
realty
trust,
constellation
mystic
power,
llc
n-star,
electric
company
and
the
boston,
water
and
sewer
commission
for
the
widening
and
relocation
of
the
existing
right-of-way
lines
of
alfred
street
public
way
and
charlestown
on
both
sides.
Generally
from
the
city
of
everett
boundary
to
a
point
southwest
of
dexter
street.
This
was
new
business
on
july
27
2017..
A
M
Commissioners,
my
name
is
rebecca
liam
with
the
law
firm
of
mince
levin,
I'm
here
with
chris
gordon
president
of
wind
design
and
development
and
lori
ajo
of
aecom,
we're
here
to
discuss
street
improvements
on
alford
street
in
the
charlestown
neighborhood.
N
Good,
thank
you
appreciate
you
having
us
back
again.
This,
as
you
know,
from
our
previous
discussion,
is
the
section
of
alfred
street
that
is
on
the
everett
side
of
the
river.
If
you
will
we're
going
to
be
rebuilding
broadway
robin
and
dexter,
there's
a
portion
of
this
that's
in
boston,
so
this
is
to
describe
to
you
that
portion
of
alfred
street
that
we'll
be
making
improvements
on
so
laura's
going
to
walk
you
through
a
description
of
the
project,
then
we're
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
O
P
A
The
next
item
is
on
a
joint
petition
by
wind,
mass
llc
tv,
realty
trust,
constellation
mystic
power,
llc
n-star,
electric
company
and
the
boston,
water
and
sewer
commission
for
the
making
of
specific
repairs
within
alfred
street
charlestown
from
the
city
of
everett
boundary
to
a
point
southwest
of
dexter
street
and
consisting
of
curb
realignment,
roadway,
sidewalk,
media
and
pedestrian
ramp
reconstruction,
as
well
as
new
and
relocated
specialty,
pavement
street
lights,
street
furniture,
street
trees,
landscaping,
traffic
signal
infrastructure,
storm
drain
infrastructure,
bicycle
infrastructure
and
driveway
curb
cuts.
This
was
new
business
on
july
27
2017..
Q
E
But
at
the
point,
where
you
are
installing
the
new
double
tendon
straight
lights,
you
are
putting
straight
legs
on
the
medium.
O
O
E
Two
cities
have
coordinated
the
route
99
projects
over
the
years
and
we
want
to
keep
a
common
theme
to
serve
christian
needs
over
here.
So
I'm
going
to
assume
there
was
some
prior
understanding
as
to
who
is
managing
the
straight
lines
on
both
sides.
Has
public
works
streetlights?
We
saw
that
issue
as
to
who
is
going
to
provide
the
power
and
manage
the
light,
because
we
want
the
area
to
be
seamless
in
terms
of
control.
If
you
haven't
thought,
if
you
haven't
clarified
that
just.
P
So
the
water
and
sewer
commissions
works
extensively
on
this
and
we've
coordinated
everything
pretty
well.
I
just
want
to
read
into
the
record
that
wynn
has
agreed
that
their
contractor,
when,
in
the
widening
of
the
road
and
putting
in
the
new
storm
drain
catch
basins,
we
will
be
assessing
the
condition
of
the
drain
laterals
at
that
time,
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
connecting
new
catch
basins
to
drain
laterals
that
are
plugged
or
in
poor
condition.
E
N
You're
exactly
right,
we're
aware
of
those
repairs
and
frankly
we
want
to
have
coordination,
because
we'll
have
sullivan
square,
the
bridge,
alfred
street
broadway,
robin
dexter,
sweetzer
and
santilli
all
under
construction.
At
the
same
time,
and
frankly,
we
have
to
be
very
careful
that
so
we
certainly
want
to
coordinate
because
it
will
be,
and
we've
also
got
a
construction
communication
plan
in
place
where
we've
got
a
a
public
relations
approach
that
we
worked
with
btd
on
as
well,
as
you
know,
variable
message,
signs
and
websites
all
sort
of
stuff,
because
yes,
it'll
be.
E
N
C
K
G
H
Q
G
A
You,
the
next
item,
is
on
a
petition
by
courtside
realty
llc
for
the
granting
of
a
projection
license
for
the
installation
of
a
canopy
over
a
portion
of
the
sidewalk
within
guest
street
brighton,
located
on
its
northerly
side
at
address
number
40
west
of
life
street.
This
was
new
business
on
july
27
2017..
R
A
S
A
A
U
In
that
meeting,
we
noted
that
we
had
worked
with
the
main
butter
in
the
area,
which
is
the
mbta
to
try
to
secure
in
off
right-of-way
easement,
which,
under
the
direction
of
the
commission,
is
something
that
we've
been
asked
to
do
on
numerous
locations.
That
discussion
was
not
successful,
however,
it
did
prove
fruitful
in
the
fact
that
we
were
able
to
secure
a
small
easement
on
beecham
street,
which
will
enable
us
to
move
some
of
our
equipment
into
that
easement
and
off
the
requested
sidewalk,
where
we're
looking
to
go.
U
U
C
U
The
existing
pit
is
on
arlington
coming
in
what
we're
looking
to
do
is
decommission
this
pit
and
move
on
to
each
of
the
street.
U
What
we'll
be
doing
is
tying
in
on
a
six
inch
inlet
valve
coming
into
the
regulator
station
here,
placing
the
bulb
within
the
sidewalk
and
our
easement
and
then
having
a
16
inch
output
pipe
onto
the
distribution
main,
the
inlet
will
be
plastic
and
the
outlet
will
be
coated
steel
coming
into
our
again
our
existing
facilities
in
the
area,
and
this
will
create
an
upgrade
from
our
present
dated
facility
in
allenton
avenue
and
suggesting
to
your
question.
There
is
a
team
here
for
buses.
U
U
Upon
gassing
this
in
and
bringing
this
into
use,
what
we
would
do
is
remove
all
of
our
existing
instrumentation
in
any
non-biodegradable
material
and
what
we
do
is
basically
pulverize
that
existing
pin
to
try
to
retain
a.
E
V
A
And
have
all
the
legal
agreements,
all
the
lmi's
been
worked
out
yet.
U
As
far
as
I
know,
the
one
thing
that
typically
transpires
upon
the
issuance
of
the
grant
is
the
discussion
of
our
council
with
the
commission.
A
F
Go
ahead,
todd
trump
has
stepped
out.
I
will
have
discussions
with
him
and
make
sure
that
whatever
legal
agreements
that
are
necessary
are
executed
right.
G
U
E
F
W
Chairman
members
of
the
board,
I'm
I'm
sara
lee
young.
I
work
at
the
mayor's
office
for
commission
for
persons
with
disabilities.
If
possible,
we
would
like
to
review
the
cover
ball,
as
we
have
not
seen
this
prior
to
this
hearing.
Thank
you.
V
V
V
Now
I
met
with
a
young
lady
there
a
few
weeks
ago,
and
she
talked
about
us
using
concrete
filled
covers
those
concrete
field
covers
only
take
300
pounds
per
square
foot.
So
basically
the
smallest
bobcats
that
you
have
during
snow
time
weighs
7
200
pounds,
so
you
cannot
put
a
bobcat
across
the
vault,
so
what
we
did
national
grade
was
we
approached
the
company
that
manufactures
the
vehicle.
V
V
If
you
put
the
treatment
on
this
and
give
you
this,
it's
one,
that's
point
one
by
one,
but
then
this
is
the
other
option.
There's
no
diamond
plates!
It's
completely
flat!
It's
0.8
lip
resistance.
It
meets
all
the
ada
compliance.
So
what
I
told
todd
was
that
you
should
make
it.
You
should
make
a
choice
of
what
they
want.
If
you
want
this,
or
this
or
this
starting
from
next
year,
nationally,
will
transform
all
their
covers.
V
A
Todd
members
of
the
public
all
right,
it
seems
like
there's
two
things
that
this
would
be
contingent
on:
one
final
resolution
of
any
real
agreements
and
then
sign
off
from
the
mayor's
office
for
the
commission
for
persons
with
disabilities.
So,
with
those
two
contingencies
I'll
entertain
a
motion.
G
I'll
make
a
motion
to
approve
the
petition
by
national
grid.

thank
you.
I
represent
mka
parcel
7
development
llc.
I
just
want
to
be
brief
and
give
you
an
overview
of
the
project.
AA
In
2008
we
applied
under
the
article
80
process
for
development
of
air
rights
and
an
adjacent
piece
of
land
at
near
fenway
park
in
2009
by
the
bra.
Now
the
boston
planning
we
were
approved
for
a
1.1
million
square
foot
project
that
involved
five
buildings,
three
of
which
were
built
on
a
platform
over
the
mass
pike
and
two
which
were
built
on
land
adjacent
to
the
mass
pike.
AA
AA
Now,
david
ortiz
way,
it
was
the
aucki
way,
extension
and
brookline
avenue
bridge.
On
the
other
side,
these
two
towers.
AA
AA
AA
We
didn't
agree
about
a
15
million
dollar
cost,
and
so
he
that
that
group
sued
us
or
sued
the
boston,
zoning
commission
and
our
partner
at
the
time
because
it
took
a
number
of
years
to
resolve-
was
needed
to
place
their
money
somewhere
else
and
had
to
leave.
So
we've
been
trying
to
reconstruct
this
deal
since
then,
and
now
have
successfully
done
so.
AA
We
finished
last
night
with
the
mass
department
of
transportation
in
negotiating
the
lease,
except
for
some
minor
points
which
are
being
rewritten.
We
expect
to
have
that
lease
to
the
governor's
office
by
the
29th
of
of
the
month,
and
we
expect
to
close
on
the
2nd
of
october
and
begin
construction
immediately.
AA
G
You
have
any
kappa
in
the
works
or
signed
transportation
access
plan
agreement.
Z
Tap
is
in
the
works.
The
document
has
been
submitted
to
charlotte
fleetwood.
The
plans
are
being
worked
on
and
there's
some
other
elements
of
pieces
that
charlotte
have
requested
that
we're
working
on
getting
to
her.
But
we've
been
in
coordination
with.
Z
The
signals
weren't
warranted
for
this
phase
of
the
project
and
we're
in
the
processing
morning.
Z
Were
we're
getting
the
signal
warrant
analysis
to
submit
to
charlotte
and
the
group
as
well.
Z
G
G
One
of
the
concerns
was
when
the
mbta
station
went
in,
they
put
a
walkway
mid
block
up
on
the
beacon
street.
Now
we
have
pedestrians,
walking
mid
block
in
the
street
where's.
The
access
points
on
beacon
street
for
this
project
is.
A
G
I
appreciate
that,
but
you
know
we
want
to
look
at
the
warrant
analysis
and
and
what
what
the.
G
A
Z
Z
Z
Z
We
because
the
existing
ramps
up
there
are
meant
for
our
645
sidewalk
is
presently
out
there
we're
putting
in
more
traditional
ramps.
Now
that
we
have
a
bit
more
concrete,
we'll
also
have
removed
the
technical
ointments
of
the
requested
commission
disabilities
commission
when
we
use
all
those
ramps.
There
is
a
complaint
we're
up
here
because
of
the
added.
Z
Is
a
loading
yes.
Z
E
Are
demand
management
aspects
of
managing
a
project
of
this
nature
that
will
be
reflected
with
the
team
that
is
supporting
you
from,
but
we
first
need
to
look
at
the
operational
needs,
so
I
think
the
best
way
to
finalize
that
tapa
is
to
get
with
the
operations
team
members
with
the
transportation
department
get
their
needs
that
way
when
you're
working
with
the
with
miss
claypool
and
others
the
tapa
can
be
encompassing,
because
we
are
very
excited
about
this
project.
It's
finally
happening
and
it's
good
stuff.
E
Z
E
AB
AB
E
Because
all
of
that
will
translate
to
how
the
curb
space
is
going
to
be
utilized,
how
the
sidewalks
are
going
to
be
utilized
and
as
long
as
all
of
those
come
together
in
a
meeting
with
manner
within
the
sidewalk
cafes
or
very
active
curbside
turnover,
so
mark
helped.
Take
those
things
through.
So
the
specific
repairs
are
complementary
to
the
operations
of
the
building.
E
Z
The
car's
playing
on
beacon
street
is
to
just
improve
the
concrete
sidewalk.
We
originally
had
plans
for
trees
and
things
like
that,
but
due
to
the.
C
Z
For
the
sidewalk,
the
nature
of
traffic
elements
that
btu
wants
to
do
in
terms
of.
A
Do
you
have
a
sense
of
the
mile
24
mile
25
marker
of
the
boston
marathon
is
somewhere
near
your
property?
Do
you
have
a
sense
of
where
that
falls
on
the
on
beacon
street,
and
you
may
not
at
this
point
anyway
if
it
falls
somewhere
along
that
way,
maybe
something
that's
interesting
to
recognize
in
the
actual
sidewalk
design
itself,
something
to
consider
it's
somewhere
between
audubon's
circle,
and
I
think
the
top
of
the
bridge
is
that
right,
right.
Z
E
E
AC
Good
morning,
my
name
is
patricia
mendes
with
the
disabilities.
Commission,
we've
been
meeting
with
the
team,
and
I
just
want
to
mention
something
that
it's
not
directly
related
to
this
petition,
but
we're
just
very
excited
about
it,
which
is
a
public
elevator
that
connects
the
lower
level
david
ortiz
with
the
upper
plaza
level.
So
we're
very
supportive
of
that
and
we
look
forward
to
continuing
to
meet
with
the
architect.
I
think
we
just
need
to
look
for
one
final
version
of
the
plans,
but
yeah
we're
almost
done.
Thank
you.
L
L
So
the
majority
of
the
site
is
a
reinforced,
concrete
foundation
wall
story,
wall
inside
the
property
line,
there's
a
couple
of
corners,
basically
at
the
inner
mainland
and
dave
rotis,
with
a
guidewall,
a
temporary
guide
wall
little
the
proper
line
during
that
work,
we'll
a.
L
And
then
we
remove
completion.
the
grade
changes
along
mainland
street
require
what
we
were
considering:
a
secondary
pressure
protection
system,
solar
possible
nighting,
basically
to
allow
the
site
to
be
the
site.
Logistics
require
a
kind
of
a
leveling
platform
here
to
install
the
story
wall,
so
this
temporary
will
allow.
L
To
start
a
wall
along
the
street
and
mainly
street,
it's
going
to
be
just
basically
a
cantilever
system,
so
no
no
bracing,
no
tie
backs.
That
system
will
cut
the
piles.
We
cut
down
six
feet
below
grade.
I
mean
there's
even
a
chance
until
you
know
we're
showing
them
schematically
right
around
the
property
line,
I'm
not
sure
if
they're
going
to
be
just
inside
the
carpet
line
or
put
out
the
proper
line,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
it's
covered
underneath.
G
L
G
L
C
G
P
P
Because
we're
interested
in
it,
the
main
concern
for
us
is
the
42-inch
steel
transmission
mate.
That
kind
of
develops
yeah
two
sides,
almost
three
sides
of
the
site,
so
we
will
put.
I
want
to
coordinate
the
site
plan.
That
is
currently
the
the
comments
that
will
be
on
the
site
plan
with
the
pic
comments.
But
what
you
can
basically
expect
is
we're
going
to
need
differential.
You
know,
settlement
monitoring,
defamation
monitoring
to
make
sure
that.
L
P
Okay,
so
yeah,
you
can
anticipate
what
those
comments
are
gonna,
be,
I
guess
well
to
continue
with
the
comments
on
the
42
inch
water
main
so
kevin.
As
you
know,
we've
been
talking
about
the
on
david
ortiz
way,
the
trees
that
are
contemplated
and
the
raised
planters.
So
I
you
got
back
to
me
and
said
you
know
it's
going
to
be
well
above
the
water
main
in
terms
of
the
roots,
but
just
so
for
the
benefit
of
the
project
team.
P
The
concern
with
that
is
that
that
42
inch,
steel,
water
main
is
very
close
to
the
train
tracks
and
anywhere.
We
have
steel
transmission
mains
near
mbta.
We
have
electrolysis
and
that's
corroding
the
steel.
It's
causing
pinpoint
holes
in
the
water
main
and
the
only
way
to
fix
them
is
to
dig
you
can't
fix
those
trenchless.
P
So
the
raised
planter
only
kind
of
increases.
My
concern
with
accessing
that
42-inch
water
main.
So
we
will
sort
those
out
before
the
public
hearing
and
you'll
have
our
comments
from
there,
but
just
be
aware
of
that's.
What's
driving
the
concern
on
that
is
the
proximity
to
the
train
tracks
and
the
likelihood
of
having
to
take
it.
Z
A
With
massdot
about
the
parcels
in
general,
have
you
talked
to
them
about
the
impacts?
They'll
have
both
on
the
green
line
on
one
side
and
the
and
the
worcester
line
on
the
other?
Yes,.
Z
They've
been
meetings
with
massdot
mbta
they're
current
we're
responding
to
current
comments
that
are
constantly
coming
in.
I
think
we
have
a
set
of
plans
going
back
to
them
to
check
in
later
on
this
this
week
or
next
week.
E
Could
you
please
generate
an
email
that
goes
between
your
team,
mass
dodt
and
pic
team
so
that
we
are
all
on
the
same
page
as
to
their
understanding
of
the
current
set
of
plans
that
is
being
voted
through
the
public
improvement?
Okay,
so
that
was
pse
staff?
Can
query
the
dod
team
lots
of
people
over
there?
We
just
need
to
know
who
it
is.
C
C
AE
AD
I'm
john
cusack
from
bryant
associations.
We
helped
put
together
the
specific
repair
plan
and
just
a
general
overview
comment.
This
is
a
two-time
visit.
We're
going
to
make
to
the
commission
we're
not
talking
surface
restoration
features.
Today
there
were
just
too
many
variables
for
us
to
close
some
of
the
discussion
with
various
groups
and
what
we're
attempting
to
do
now
is
to
go
forward
with
the
foundation
package
in
the
fall
to
start.
C
AD
F
Yes,
so
this
is
an
earth
retention
license
right.
This
is
strictly
subsurface.
We
aren't
talking
about
any
streetscape
features
at
this
time,
they're
going
to
come
back
for
that
later.
Another.
E
F
Yeah
we'll
take
care
of
plan
revisions
before
they
come
back
in
two
weeks.
S
S
A
AD
A
S
Very
briefly,
we
have
been
meeting
with
disabilities
on
the
streetscape.
As
john
mentioned,
we're
not
ready.
E
AE
S
S
AD
AD
As
stated
with
some
of
our
opening
remarks,
we're
attempting
to
get
approval
right
now,
just
for
the
excavation
support
system,
excavation,
probably
going
to
be
in
the
range
of
36
to
38
feet,
deep,
there's,
a
three
level
underground
parking
garage
and,
as
brett
had
said,
we've
been
talking
and
trading
information
with
various
departments,
and
I
think
the
primary
concern
during
this
work
is
going
to
be
maintaining
safe
pedestrian
access
around
the
area.
G
AE
AE
P
Water
is
coordinated
with
john
we,
they
already
have
our
comments
on
pre
and
post
inspection
of
our
assets
that
are
in
very
close
proximity
to
the
excavation.
E
P
Believe
they
are
okay,
there
will
be
a.
We
have
a
brand
new
sewer
in
the
sidewalk,
which
is
actually
one
of
the
challenges
of
the
streetscape
design,
which
I
have
to
get
educated
on.
Why
that
is
there,
but
we're
going
to
do
cctv,
inspection,
pre
and
post
on
the
gravity,
assets,
sewer
and
drain
that
are
closest
to
the
excavation
and
then
for
the
water
assets.
It's
just
deformation
monitoring
to
make
sure
that
there's
no
settling
or
sheer
forces
that
exerted
on
the
water
that
should
do
it.
The.
AD
AD
AE
That's
been
a
consistent
piece
of
piece
of
feedback
really
from
day.
One
is
making
sure
that
we
have
consistency
with
the
other
projects
that
have
come
in
recently,
as
well
as
the
projects
that
are
coming
in
really
over
the
next
24
to
36
months.
In
addition,
making
sure
that
you
know
that's
all
seamlessly
tied
into
this,
the
street
improvement
plan,
the.
E
C
AD
Made
a
preliminary
submittal
on
a
site
plan.
Philorock
has
given
us
some
review
comments
and
we've
got
review
comments
back
from
the
commission,
so.
E
AD
The
water
main
connections
now
we're
leaning
towards
making
the
connections
in
travel
streets
to
stay
out
of
harrison
avenue
altogether
very
good,
and
it's
going
to
be
a
redundant
system.
There's
going
to
be
two
meter
rooms.
Two
sets
of
five
supply,
two
sets
of
domestic,
so
we
think
the
actual
tie-in
place
is
going
to
be
in
travel
close
to
harrison,
but
not
in
harrison
very
good.
A
Other
questions
or
comments,
todd
members
of
the
public-
all
right
andrew
leave
it
to
you
to
make
sure
that
you
get
the
cmp
and
giving
us
enough
time.
If
there's
enough
time.
G
AE
A
T
Architectural
associates
I'm
representing
the
owner
of
the
restaurant
big
night
venues.
The
request
today
for
new
business
is
a
cafe
seating
license
on
at
186
tremont
street
restaurants,
currently
under
construction
proposed
to
hold
it
shortly.
A
As
you
know,
this
is
a
huge
pedestrian
area,
particularly
the
corner,
which
is
by
the
little
building.
But
a
number
of
folks
are
on
this
corner
as
well.
Have
you
looked
at
sort
of
a
pedestrian
level
of
service
or
have
you
thought
about
how
this
this
particular
corner
and
this
sidewalk
cafe
can
accommodate
all
the
folks
who
are
going
crossing
through
here
to
emerson
the
movie
theater
beyond
yeah.
G
G
Level
of
service
analysis
and
it
makes
makes
the
agreement,
so
I
appreciate
the
fast
response
on
that
too.
This
is
the.
A
S
C
E
It
is
a
point
in
time
the
transportation
department,
if
they
are
in
agreement
with
the
pedestrian
development
analysis,
it's
a
point
in
time.
Okay,
things
can
change
in
the
future,
because
we
can't
invest
heavily
in
this
area
and
have
all
those
kids
be
on
demand
straight.
That
would
be
awkward
point
two.
E
T
J
Q
G
Verifying
that
this,
this
conduit
actually
had
doesn't
have
a
traffic
fiber
in
it.
So.
Q
Correct
it
is
exactly
it's
a
comcast
build
that
they
did
back
in
2012.
G
So
there's
only
two
ducks
in
here.
J
No,
we
have
it,
but
we've
done
this
before.
Yes,
yes,
whatever
the
fee
is
it's
okay,
we've
done
this
before.
E
Absolutely
just
to
the
point
of
understanding
the
city
will
soon
be
building
rebuilding
the
summer
straight
corridor,
including
the
intersection
of
melcher,
hopefully
that
construction
doesn't
disrupt
any
of
these
assets
that
are
there.
Hopefully,
all
these
assets
are
at
an
appropriate
depth
which
was
installed
correct.
Okay,.
Q
F
I
believe
there's
an
additional
length
of
conduit
that
they're
going
to
need
to
dig
to
connect
to
their
utilities,
but
they
have
obviously.
E
F
They
are
they're
aware
of
this
and
they're
prepared
to
submit
that
to
be
administratively
reviewed
as
a
lateral,
so
that
should
not
be
that
shouldn't
hold
up
anything
right.
Y
Y
A
AD
A
Y
So
working
in
the
general
area,
we're
actually
doing
maintenance
on
brookline
ave
and
surrounding
areas,
so
we
did
work
around
fenway
events
and
worked
with
that
schedule,
as
well
as
surrounding
businesses.
E
I
can't
recall
the
condition
of
lands
down
straight
in
terms
of
how
good
the
roadways,
whether
they
are
little
cuts
going
to
show.
I
mean
it's
going
to
stand
out.
One
two:
are
there
any
city
shadow
within
this
area?
Three?
Should
someone
else
also
be
participating
in
this?
Have
they
gone?
Have
you
reached
out
to
all
utilities?
Y
We
actually
sent
out.
We
started
this
project
back
in
april
and
we
reached
out
with
verizon
and
all
the
other
communication
companies.
That
was
why
we're
waiting
so
long
right
now
there
was
a
delay.
They
did
rotten
roping
and
seeing
their
capacity
and
they
do
not
want
to
participate.
They
do
have
their
conduit,
they
don't
have
much
available,
but
they
said
that
they
did
not
want
to
participate.
Y
E
F
E
Y
G
AE
C
G
F
They've
reached
out
to
everybody,
I
believe
that
crown
castle
actually
installed
some
duct
work
in
this
street
in
the
past
few
years.
Yeah.
It's
my
understanding
that
tim
reached
out
to
crown
castle
to
ask
about
city
shadow,
and
I
believe
you
receive
no
response.
C
A
Don't
think
that
tim,
I
don't
know
if
you've
particular
but
being
able
to
sort
of
identify
which
of
the
pieces
of
conduit
actually
is
the
city's
shadow.
If,
if
we
do.
Z
F
Is
it
can
be
indicated
on
the
record
plans
so
we'll
have
that
if
it's
not
shown
currently,
we
can
have
that
shown
on
the
mylar.
A
A
Y
Thank
you,
and
hopefully
this
project
will
be
about
four
or
five
days
again,
depending
on
the
schedule
and
depending
on
when
we'll
be
able
to
get
out
there.
Y
A
Our
final
item
of
new
business
is
bowen
street
at
quincy
street
in
dorchester.
A
grant
of
location
on
a
petition
by
national
grid.
U
U
Peter
nagle
from
national
grid
customer
and
community
management,
again
I'm
joined
by
sam
uifo
relative,
would
like
to
ask
for
the
board's
consideration
on
relocating
a
regulator
station
which
is
currently
located
in
the
intersection
of
bowdoin
in
quincy
streets,
moving
it
along
bowdoin
street
in
a
sidewalk
adjacent
to
a
boston
parks,
department,
property,
the
similar
to
other
pit
location
searches.
We
did
reach
out
to
several
of
the
abutters
there,
including
the
church,
which
is
right
below
the
bowdoin
street
designation.
U
Similarly,
we
approached
the
boston
parks
department
and
had
a
discussion
with
them
about
physically
locating
the
bought
in
adjacent
to
their
prop
or
within
their
property
adjacent
to
adams
street
again
that
was
not
successful.
U
Ultimately,
we
came
up
with
the
location
on
the
sidewalk
on
bowdoin
street,
which
would
run
in
concert
with
a
main
extension.
Excuse
me,
a
main
replacement
that
we
did
last
year
out
there,
so
it
would
be
tying
into
brand
new
facilities
as
well.
E
I
don't
know
conclusively
so
I
thought
just
hopefully
we
will
have
some
time,
so
we
can
check
with
all
the
respective
sister
departments
to
ensure
that
the
space
they
are
seeking
is
not
in
conflict
with
our
five-year
plans
or
thereabouts.
Okay,
because
this
is
again,
your
regulator
picks
right,
correct.
C
E
As
much
as
whenever
the
city
gives
you
a
grant
of
location,
the
understanding
is
that
you
need
to
move
that
when
we
need
you
to
move
it
and
you
expect.
But
we
want
to
be
a
little
bit
more
careful
when
we
give
you
a
ground
up
location
with
regulated
pits,
because
it's
a
different
level
of
investment,
and
so
we
want
to
be
as
thoughtful
as
possible.
E
F
I
can't
speak
to
other
city
agencies,
but
just
for
the
record,
this
is
outside
of
the
limits
of
public
works's
quincy
street
reconstruction
project.
G
G
E
Just
just
give
us
a
little
bit
of
time
feed
and
send
you
do
amazing.
Work
just
want
to
make
sure
that
your
investment
doesn't
cause
us
to
have
an
awkward
conversation
in
the
future.
Okay,
so
I'm
not
sure
whether
we
can
pull
it
off
in
two
weeks
and
the
only
reason
is
people
do
go
on
vacation
and
it
is
sometimes
difficult
to
find
key
staff
members.
So
peter
said
what
is
your
timeline
to
get
this
thing
approved
from
the
commission
here?
The.
U
The
thought
that
immediately
comes
to
mind
is
at
some
point
later
in
the
construction
season.
If
this
were
to
go
10
to
12
weeks
that
gas
control
at
some
point
would
be
unwilling
to
interrupt
service
to
transfer
over
to
the
pit.
So
that
is
the
the
that's.
The
first
thing
that
comes
to
mind,
but.
A
Where
is
the
existing
regulator.
V
U
We
usually
act
at
the
request
of
the
commission,
mr
chair,
so
I
would
like
to
keep
this
one,
because
it's
a
larger
pit
that
serves
a
larger
number
of
customers
in
the
vicinity,
but
typically
at
the
discretion
of
the
commission,
is
where
you
go
with
requests
or
considerations.
A
And
you're
proposing
the
same
sort
of
cover
that
sarah
had
discussed
that
sam,
that
you
and
sarah
discussed
previously.
C
V
E
E
Okay,
so
we
do
take
the
importance
of
what
the
what
the
commission
of
disabilities
tell
us.
So
we
recognize
the
fact
that
you
may
have
to
modify,
but
if
it
is
their
needs
in
a
critical
location,
where
there's
a
lot
of
pedestrian
traffic,
I
think
you
need
to
do
what
you
need
to
do
at
your
end,
recognizing
the
fact
that
it
is
it
is
of
importance,
I'm
not
sure
whether
we
can
say
we
can
just
accommodate
what
you
will
do
for
everything
from
next
year.
E
U
May
address
the
commissions
to
your
request.
The
the
design
obviously
is
the
of
the
safe
and
effective
operation
is
the
is,
what's
paramount,
not
the
cost,
sir.
Similarly,
if
some
of
the
materials
that
have
been
requested
were
to
be
installed,
they
would
not
meet
safety
requirements
and
would
require
additional
bollard
protection
to
preclude
vehicle
traffic
coming
on
to
those
facilities,
which
is
something
that
we've
clearly
heard
from
multiple
city
agencies
that
they
don't
want
to
see
precluding
the
impeding
a
sidewalk
access.
If
you
will.
A
So
things
over
the
next
two
weeks,
there's
a
set
of
conversations
both
that
we
can
have
with
you
around
bowdoin
and
quincy
and
then,
additionally,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
the
commissions
for
persons
with
disabilities.
W
Sarah
leon
on
the
disabilities
commission-
I
think
two
weeks
it's
enough
to
try
to
finalize
the
cover
treatment.
If
not,
we
respectfully
ask
for.
P
The
two
comments
that
come
to
mind
for
me:
first
of
all,
where
we
connect
back
into
quincy
street,
the
gas
main
and
the
sewer
main
that
are
on
top
of
each
other,
absolutely
breaks
my
heart,
but
those
are
existing.
The
connection
that
you're
proposing
is
right
on
top
of
water.
So
now
it's
water,
sewer
and
gas
all
on
top
of
each
other.
Perhaps
we
could
shift
that
connection
away
from
that
water
main
you
see
what
I'm
talking
about.
P
Maybe
we
can
get
away
from
the
water
in
there
and
then
we
have
the
water
main
that
goes
kind
of
between
the
pit
and
where
you're
connecting
back
into
those
other
existing
gas.
I
don't
know
the
condition
of
that
water
main
I'd
have
to
check
that,
but
I
think
it's
doubtful
that
we
could
put
a
new
one
in
before
you
get
out
there
for
construction,
but
I
will
check
into
its
age
conditions
whatever
we
know
about
that
water
main
and
relay
that
information.
U
I'd
be
happy
to
check
with
our
construction
folks,
who
actually
relayed
that
main
on
bowdoin
as
well
and
put
that
tie
in
there
as
well.
So
I'll.
Similarly
ask
about
the
proximity
of.
