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 🤞

Another day, another North End rainbow!

The driver called the cops on a foul ball🤣

Of course!

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

So... progress!

Also this :)

Hello and thank you for bringing this to our attention. We apologize for this curt response. We are in touch with the teams responsible for the construction and response and working to resolve this issue.

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.

Charter street reconstruction project leaves no pedestrian route from Salem to Charter. Doesn't meet bare minimum standards of pedestrian access during construction projects.

City's response? "Deal with the inconvenience".

Response from the city: deal with it. Who needs sidewalks?

Entering day five of no pedestrian access between Charter and Salem.

Woops! That's embarrassing. It gets shallow quickly in that area near the pool and Coast Guard.

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.

Two issues to look out for at Thursday night's new Community Center meeting The city is building a new community center adjacent to the pool to replace the existing Nazzaro Center. The project will also include new community pools - replacing the current Mirabella pools - and...

New North End Community Center progress meeting this Thursday, June 26th, 6:30pm at the Nazzaro.

Here are two key issues to look out for.

According to the latest from MassDOT, the following should happen in the next two weeks:

•Opening of all inbound and outbound traffic lanes
•Opening of West Sidewalk
•Opening of Lovejoy Wharf

Pedestrian underpass open - ahead of schedule? Underpromise, overdeliver?The last time MassDOT gave an update at the Neighborhood Council on the North Washington St Bridge, they said that the pedestrian underpass would be open by December 2025.The...

The last date that MassDOT gave for opening the pedestrian underpass was six months from now. Small win.

Bike lanes remain obstructed. @bostonaruban.bsky.social video of bike lanes plus underpass in link.
