The Unneighborly Town

In order to shoehorn this project in back of our houses, the town has outright lied, hidden information, stonewalled and treated abutters as pariah's - all to sail through their project with minimal questions and opposition.

One fact that was hidden and it took months to unearth was that this project entailed TURNING OUR BACKYARDS INTO A  CONSTRUCTION ROAD AND STAGING AREA for a period of 3-4 years.

There goes BBQs with family and friends, children and/ dogs playing, home weddings, backyard pools, peace and quiet.  There comes construction trucks, Port-a-potties, work crews and noise.


PATH WILL NOT BE LIGHTED

Nitsch's staffer in charge of electrical installations showed up in the invoice for the underpass/tunnel and for the path.   Ellen Sugarman was confused by this pointing out that only the tunnel will be lighted not the path.  

 I am amused that a CPPC committee member is being kept in the dark.  It is MassDOT rules that a path not designated "dawn to dusk" has to be lighted. Since the town refuses to make this a "dawn to dusk" path then it MUST be lighted.  To confirm this, Nitsch estimate shows that the design includes 11 light poles.

In discussing the current state of the project, the truth that the 25% is not completed and it is not approved  is masked by saying that the "75% is not completed".

Project still at 25% not 75% - how to fool the masses

SCHEDULE DELAY   I have the thread of emails and docs on this matter from MassDOT public records ( link to docs ) so my suspicions about the fact they have been stuck at 25% have been confirmed.  In addition, Nitsch engineers came before the town and admitted it  twice ( link to 3/24 SB video - Nitsch at 1 hr 30 min; for the 3/19 CPPC recording, ask CPPC Chairwoman Muson). The project is still stuck in the first step. The 25% design plan has not been approved.  Nitsch still needs to do  the Subsurface utility survey - Class B (SUE) which is essential for the sketching and structural design of the tunnel.  Hence, they don’t have a clue as how to design the tunnel at this point.  Cutting corners, they submitted plans for a 75% for the rest of the path in the absence of a 25% revised and approved plan. Wisely, MassDOT rejected it because the 25% was missing.  In their own defense, Nitsch argued that,as they saw it, the tunnel was a “minor spur” an...

Tunnel jacking is MBTA's fault ... NOT

 I keep hearing town hall people blame the MBTA for the switch from tunnel jacking to cut & cover.  From the sequence of events that I witnessed, it was the town's own fault that the project started off with jacking. PARE vs NITSCH   It all started with the PARE to Nitsch switch at the design stage which was a very unconventional move. It's all described here  FIRST MEETING WITH NITSCH  At the first meeting after being hired, Michalak made mention of tunnel jacking. The committee members expressed some surprise saying they had expected cut & cover. Their surprise surprised me since the Nitch bid was so  much about jacking.  Michalak made it clear that the method to be used was jacking. SECOND MEETING WITH NITSCH At this meeting, Michalak talked about jacking but now he implied that he was obeying the town's wish to use jacking. This was quietly accepted by the committee members.  I was slack jawed at how responsibility for jacking had...

The Miracle of the Sketchily Scheduled Public Hearing

I've been on hiatus fron this blog after Nitsch's submission of the 25% design plan at the end of 2021.  All that time, I've continued to observe the CPPC meetings; they have been as interesting as watching paint dry. Nitsch's Michalak seemed to avoid the CPPC but, a few times, the CPPC succeeded in having Michalak show up to give a report of ... non-progress. This was confirmed by someone with knowledge of the project within the MBTA who complained to me of how Nitsch was not delivering the necessary engineering plan although 1 year had lapsed since the request made in 2022. Engineering plan vs design sketch  My MBTA interlocutor explained that an engineering plan is different from the design plan. The latter is a sketch; the former is plan that shows location of items and structures in the subsurface and surface of the project area.  The subsurface items include pipes and cables because you don't want to start digging - for example - to build a wall and then fin...
