Lead planner of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers COB CSRM Project Team assured me today that all comment letters on USACE's Feasibility Study will be published.
Hat's off to the City's climate team for its groundbreaking collab w/USACE.

BFD had a successful drill with other city agencies on the use & evacuation procedures with the “Deployable Water Barrier” systems & our “High Water Rescue Vehicles” used in our low lying waterfront areas of downtown Boston. (Video is courtesy of OEM Department)
For many years, these light fixtures (photographed yesterday) mounted on the Moakley Bridge bathed the bridge in warm blue. They were handmade by the late John Powers, a wonderful sculptor & lighting designer. In pics 3 & 4, John’s lighting my Fort Point Theatre Festival (2001).
Councilors Flynn and Murphy continued their weekly late file abuse and theatrics yesterday, haranguing Clr. Breadon and wasting considerable time, winning them another Herald full page. If these foul tactics are how kids learn about democracy, god help us. universalhub.com/2026/counci…

Just when you thought free speech was a constitutional right, attorneys seemingly shut a Southie community group's presentation down.
BREAKING: According to South Boston Beat (and attachments linked at the bottom of its FB post), BPDA and Andrew Square Civic Association were threatened with legal action this week, if they moved fwd with a presentation of HYM's 6-acre 320 Dot Ave project. facebook.com/groups/81159427…
Love this graphic from Architecture Hub.

Councilor @Gigi4District1 spoke eloquently on CSOs today, co-sponsoring a hearing order with Councilor Breadon. 01:16:50 youtu.be/dDPxKlQ3liI?si=19bd…
Coletta-Zapata also introduced a resolution re. USACE's CSRM at 01:45:00... youtu.be/dDPxKlQ3liI?si=ldkd…
Last stop in the City of Boston Deployables Day:
Mayor Wu, here with Rep. Michlewitz and enviro chief Swett, celebrating a ribbon-cutting at Harbor Towers, a building that was just improved by a $20 million private investment in resiliency. Great work by Harbor Towers trustees.
Huge turnout for the City of Boston’s “Deployables Day” event, starting at Martin’s Park. Opening remarks by BPDA Chief Shen and Enviro Chief Swett.

From BPD: About 6:40 PM, on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, a pedestrian was struck by motor vehicle near 449 West Broadway. The victim was transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The vehicle remained on scene.

I have much respect for Ed Gaskin & his common sense approach to this. It does matter that the city provide measurable data on BRT for Blue Hill Ave. The traffic disruption, rush hour backups, & safety issues after Cummings Hwy redo cannot be ignored for BHA

Globe’s bizarre obsession with Boston Dynamics, provable below by viewing the roughly half-dozen headlines annually over the past decade, continues today.
BD is owned by Hyundai, with local competitors that never get coverage.

Heard that a pedestrian was struck by a motor vehicle near the top of West Broadway in South Boston last night. Can’t find any news of the accident online.
These New England immigrants arrived legally. Now, thousands will lose Medicaid benefits. bostonglobe.com/2026/09/29/m…
Ed Gaskin, who notes the history of Blue Hill Ave BRT planning as it related to the 2021 election (and before that), continues to ask big questions. Worth a read.
Seems possible that a cycle accident announced by BPD last night at “Melcher” and A Streets could’ve been the 9/3 incident that I witnessed at “Binford” and A Streets.
👉🏼 So either 2 or 3 total cycle incidents including motor vehicles this month.
At last night’s @FPNA_Boston meeting, BPD reported two (2) accidents involving a cyclist being struck by a motor vehicle in FP/ Seaport this past month.
That’s three (3) cyclists struck by cars/trucks in Southie 02210 including the incident below, apparently not recorded by BPD.

Todd Wallack 👇🏼, formerly deputy managing editor at WBUR, was hired by the Washington Post late last year. Just outstanding work.
There's been an effort in some red states to restrict tenure at public universities. Now the Trump administration is taking action at the US service academies. wapo.st/4hDFceJ
