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. My letter to USACE: fortpointer.com/Archive/2026…

Boston’s most in-demand, best-amenitized office buildings are in new gems like South Station Tower, One Congress or Winthrop Center. But the newest one is the 114-year-old former Filene's department store. bizjournals.com/boston/news/…

BPI and its ED blocked me last year after I began to ask about BPI's private communications w/ City Councilors. Councilors may not only be asking BPI's questions at hearings, they *appear to be* receiving text for Hearing Orders and possibly talking points during hearings.

Members of the Fort Point community and SAND (seaportalliance.org) have been asking @MassDEP to standardize Chapter 91 public benefits signage for over 25 years.
Pic #1: "Public Restrooms" sign at InterContinental Hotel prior to my complaint filed at @MassDEP in Feb 2026. Pic #2: Replacement sign deemed acceptable by DEP (yes, it's there): Black vinyl letters on reflective glass, virtually invisible. And no DEP License number.

Journalists have never reported — and likely have no idea, what a slog it's been for the City's climate team to progress when there's a vacuum in leadership. Look at responsiveness to: USACE process. Gutting of FEMA grants. Release of Inundation District. Moakley Park resistance.
South Boston Beat is asking the Southie community boards on FB to debate whether or not climate change is real, despite the fact that the scientific community itself is no longer debating the fundamentals. Even motivations of the City are up for debate. facebook.com/groups/81159427…

Media source @universalhub has also been reporting on the troubling amount of damage done to Council business, nearly all of it wreaked by Clrs. Flynn and Murphy. Damage the Herald encourages by providing them an exclusive platform. UniversalHub just replied on Bluesky. 👇🏼
Councilors Flynn and Murphy have been wreaking havoc in City Council meetings, disrespecting President Breadon, trashing rules of order, and abusing late files, week after week. I posted a recent example just 10 days ago (below). As a defense, they assert they are the victims.

11:50 AM - Conditions along the Fort Point Channel at high tide this morning are far more placid than usual during big storms. Winds are mild to moderate at the moment.

11:18 AM - Approaching high tide on Fan Pier this morning, waves are lapping up against the top of the seawall, but not inundating the Harborwalk as we’ve seen in past storms. One factor may be relatively moderate winds. @davabel

VIDEO: Ever since Councilor Breadon was elected President in January, Clrs Murphy and Flynn have regularly engaged in disruptions, haranguing and disrespect of Breadon. Yesterday, Murphy/Flynn’s theatrics included a proposal to do away w the Council’s 17F investigatory powers.
