This ...Clearly this "Bosguy" has no clue. This building/idea is way to large. This is a residential neighborhood, not downtown crossing. I wonder if this was built across the street from bosguy's home if he'd still sing the praises. Also, despite what the developer says this will impact the gardens as well as traffic negatively. The scale is so disproportionate to the surroundings. Development of this corner is a welcome sight, however this is too much. BRA initially approved building 70 feet, how & when did this change?! For those of us who live in this block, I'm in favor of a petition to keep the height at 70'. Why is it necessary to make such a huge structure for office space? Clearly by all the lease vacancies throughout the city, there is not need to add more vacant space. This type of structure closer to the highway or near the pike on ramps seems a more reasonable space. Now you've built up a huge shelter for heroin addicts/dealers to hide behind. The security that this developer spoke of was a joke! He mentioned it would be well lit all around the bldg. Oh great, so then the dealers can see better while transacting.

I imagine it's no different than if the line broke between your building and the public line in the street - it's your responsibility to fix between your home and the street. If the sewer in the alley is private, then it is the owners responsibility. (Assuming it was privately constructed by the owners sometime in the past – the old brick sewers were indeed built when the homes were built…) But this is no different than streetlights or snow removal for private (drive-able) alleys – if it’s private, the homeowners are responsible. <br /><br />That’s one reason whenever a major home renovation happens, they often move their connection to the city sewer in the street. This past year Bond street got together and got a good price to have both sides of the street moved onto the city sewer in the street, off of the private sewers in their respective alleysEight Streets NAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08053225410302662299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36147177.post-86473468225233830092010-10-25T11:43:03.727-04:002010-10-25T11:43:03.727-04:00I also think it was a well written blog.

According to the blog, if a sewer line is damaged or collapses (they are all old brick lines), the city will not repair them, even though they connect to "city-owned" lines running down public alleyways. Is my assumption wrong?<br /><br />I live on Concord Square and the alley between Concord Square and Worcester Street is private.<br /><br />Mike LloydMichael Lloydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00062752533734309812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36147177.post-10587679894689608872010-10-04T17:06:27.802-04:002010-10-04T17:06:27.802-04:00Great post!
I recall that this issue flared up a ...Great post!<br /><br />I recall that this issue flared up a summer ago, when a group (presumably of kids) was regularly passing down the Waltham/UP alley. They would enter by Ringgold and exit by Plum, throwing rocks as they went. <br /><br />They broke a number of windows on Waltham and Union Park. This happened every couple of nights for several weeks. Police were called, but said there was not much to be done.<br /><br />At the time, the thought was to add combination locks with publicly published combinations at either end of this "loop".<br /><br />The execution at the time was poor/hasty and the lock by Ringgold quickly removed. This gate is apparently owned by the adjacent building. At the time, the building's association promised to work on a locking mechanism.<br /><br />The lock by Plum stayed, and perhaps because the "loop" was closed off, the incidents stopped this summer.<br /><br />In general, this seems like a problem that should be relatively easy to solve. Residents and their agents should have free access to the alley and random passersby should probably not. <br /><br />This could be done with gates that open freely from the inside (only), combination locks with published combinations, or both.<br /><br />That said, as this issue spans the borders two neighborhood associations and at least one condo association, I suspect it may be more complex to resolve than it should be.
