hope no one on this side of Snowhill needs an ambulance or fire truck this week 😬

311 says a citation was issued, but the problem remains.

What happened at the pool yesterday? Closed with ambulances. The only mention in the Public Journal is "SICK/INJURED/MEDICAL - PERSON".

Hope everyone is OK 🤞

This intersection is now complete. The intersection of Charter with Snowhill has some rudimentary pedestrian paths marked out.

So... progress!

The city's response to one 311 complaint?

A flippant:
"Case Noted | With every construction project there are going to be inconveniences."

Not sure if Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 90e, § 2a strictly applies here, but you would think that the city could meet the state's bare minimum standards for ped accommodation in one of the most densely populated census tracts in the state.

Boat ran aground in Boston Harbor behind Mirabella pool today. Low tide was 4:19 and it had broken free by 5:15… right about the time Seatow showed up to help.

Issue 2: Harborwalk extension
Preliminary designs called for extending the harborwalk from its current terminus at the basketball court behind the ballfield to the Coast Guard station. In the latest proposal, this extension is categorized as an "Add Alternate".

Issue 1: Pool configuration
The project includes replacing the Mirabella pools with a lap pool and a new family pool. The size of each will dictate the maximum number of people that can use the pools at a time.
