A 36-foot bronze octopus loomed near a bicyclist passing by Chalestown Navy Yard. Called “The Arms of Friendship," the 8-ton sculpture was created by artists Gillie and Marc and features endangered animals in each of its limbs.

Boston’s new “Better Buffers” initiative plans to replace flexposts with cast-in-place curbs. Somerville has started using pre-cast curbs recently. I assume pre-cast is cheaper/quicker to implement and just as protective as cast-in-place.
