causing about $1 million in damages to the building Firefighters responded around 10:30 a.m. to heavy smoke at the warehouse, located at 647 Summer St. in South Boston, the Boston Fire Department said in a post on X did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Sunday evening Firefighters used an “aggressive” attack on the interior and exterior of the building to stop the spread throughout the large warehouse, Deputy Chief Martin McCormack of the Boston Fire Department told reporters on scene The cause of the fire is under investigation Massachusetts Port Authority owns the land at 647 Summer St The building is assessed at about $16 million, according to city records The warehouse is 467,410 square feet and was built in 1960 Ava Berger can be reached at ava.berger@globe.com.

Chan would have also paid for installation of a 15-bike Bluebikes station - and to put in a bike lane on that part of D Street. Some 12 of the units would have been rented as affordable, to people making no more than 50% to 90% of the Boston area median income But in a letter of opposition read by an aide what he called "this fantasy" of thinking new residents would get around by bike: a very small percentage of new residents regularly use bicycles for travel For the city and the ZBA to persist in this fantasy that parking is not necessary voters and taxpayers feel that we are being treated with lack of respect by Mayor Wu and her administration You all know there is a great need for parking in the dense neighborhood of South Boston It appears you are following the abstract ideology fueled by wishful thinking rather than acknowledging what is actually happening in the city and the challenges that residents face Neither Chan nor his attorney ever said they thought most residents would solely use bikes to get around Lynch's anti-bike letter did not reference nearby T stops or buses at all Flynn also raised the issue of the neighborhood's parking crisis - and accused the city of treating South Boston unfairly by consistently letting developers get away with putting in less parking there than in other neighborhoods City Councilor Henry Santana (at large) also opposed the proposal based on strong opposition from neighboring residents Zoning-board Chairwoman Sherry Dong opened the meeting noting the large number of messages the board had gotten from people opposed to the project on parking issues Maria Bermudez of Preble Street said the lack of parking mean "tremendous congestion and traffic" as all those new residents circle nearby blocks in search for a place to park president of the Andrew Square Civic Association accused the Boston Planning Department of refusing to listen to resident concerns about parking during impact-advisory-group meetings it held - and raised the specter of people dying because of the way the proposed bike lane would cross in front of the small area the building's plans set aside for loading/unloading and ride-share pickups: "We are looking for tragedies and they will come if we let this go through," she warned the proposed design is ugly: "It's very institutional." Morancy said Chan has reached agreement with two nearby property owners to rent up to 95 parking spaces to residents who insist on moving in with cars said those parcels are themselves eventually going to be redeveloped Some residents said they would not have opposed the project if all the units were affordable - in 2021, the city ended parking minimums for buildings with at least 60% of their units being rented that way said his client is not a non-profit developer and so could not possibly make that work supported the proposal without reservation calling it "forward thinking" and a good step towards reducing our reliance on "singular use automotive transportation." He said a planned re-alignment of D Street would eventually mean bringing the Silver Line right down the street making the building an even better place for the carfree He was joined by fellow advisory-group member Domenic Baldassari who said a 60-unit building with no parking was approved on Boston Street and said Chan's proposal would be another part of cleaning up the whole Dorchester Avenue corridor After the board voted to reject the proposal board member Norm Stembridge moved to deny it without prejudice "I think it's a very valid project," Stembridge said hopefully not entirely to the drawing board but in terms of the input that's really needed from the community and hopefully for some suggestions for some changes that can make it work." 49-51 D St. filings.

40 people - get through in about 30 seconds 10 cars - 10 people - make it before they can't clear the intersection It isn't the space you take up that makes you special Cars take up so much more space that they cause their own problems It's almost as if single-occupancy vehicles are completely inefficient way to get around I'll think about this the next time I spend 75 minutes on a public transit trip that can be done by car in 15 minutes By Lee Wed That’s why you can’t imagine anyone living differently from you anywhere on earth The rest of us are not interested in your whine about needing storage space for your toys Go back to the Herald comment section with your juvenile nonsense My eight-year-old knows how to disagree constructively without name-calling By John Costello Thu One has to talk like that to Pee Wee Lee because of his comments By the way -

the company will keep its corporate offices and R&D in Boston would let Gillette and the city toss out the 31-acre site's current zoning and set an overall outline for more detailed building-by-building proposals Gillette started the filing by saying it will likely hand off parts of the actual development The company says the height of the buildings is limited not by imagination but by requirements set by the FAA due to the proximity of Logan Airport and a desire not to impose too much on neighbors - so the tallest buildings could reach 320 feet but only 225 feet near Richards and Necco streets the residential buildings would consist of at least 1.7 million square feet of space; office hotel and retail space nearly 4 million square feet Much of the public space - some 6.5-acres - would be concentrated in a park along 1,200 feet of frontage on Fort Point Channel - and will be designed to block and limit flooding from the channel based on expected sea-level rise for the year 2070 The design of Waterfront Park will introduce a new elevated Harborwalk route near the waterfront extending along the entire waterfront perimeter of the Project Site connecting the existing Harborwalk to the north with Dorchester Avenue to the west is intended to remain as a redundant route along the seawall immediately adjacent to the water The new Open Spaces are envisioned as an integrated series of urban spaces with distinct programmatic elements and functions comprising a mix of publicly accessible open spaces all designed to provide provocative view corridors through the Project Site and toward other points of interest in the vicinity of the Proposed Project this flexible and multi-use open space network will provide a balance of passive and active recreation that caters to a wide variety of user demographics which would include a series of flood walls and berms and which hinges on federal funding - at a time when the federal government is under the control of people who deny climate change and hate pretty much everything Boston stands for Individual buildings on the site would have key components built above the anticipated level of major flooding in the decades to come under the proposal West 1st and Necco streets into the site - where they will connect with new "secondary streets" that will include bike lanes will provide cyclists and pedestrians with connections with no vehicular traffic from surrounding neighborhoods to the core of the Project Site and the waterfront the car-free corridors will include a broad open space connection providing improved pedestrian and bike connections from the Project Site to the Broadway MBTA Red Line station The proposal calls for garages with space for 4,489 cars - or 2,691 more than can now be accommodated by Gillette's current parking lots Also proposed: long-term indoor storage for 3,334 bicycles and public bike racks with room for 592 bikes Gillette Redevelopment filings and meeting/comment schedule Possible view from the end of Fort Point Channel towards the harbor;

It’s the latest milestone in the company’s efforts to redo its two Massachusetts sites as it pulls its manufacturing work out of South Boston to make way for this ambitious 20-building redevelopment Much of the manufacturing will shift to Gillette’s other local property with a groundbreaking scheduled to take place on that expansion next Thursday The 5.7-million-square-foot development in South Boston could take a decade or more to fully build out The total vision includes 1,800 housing units across nine buildings and another 3.5 million square feet of commercial space for offices and labs as well as 200,000 square feet of shops and restaurants and 250,000 square feet of hotel space The buildings would range in height from four or five stories to taller buildings such as a 320-foot-high residential tower near the T station The project also includes a 6.5-acre public park along the channel “We’ve long been proud of our heritage here in Massachusetts,” said Kara Buckley vice president of community affairs at Gillette “We’re excited about the legacy we could leave behind through this plan.” though it’s possible they could remain on the property as it gets redeveloped The fundamental real estate shifts were first announced in October 2023 Gillette has sought feedback from the public holding 15 community meetings over the past two years and working with development consultant Leggat McCall and others to design this new neighborhood but so will most new individual buildings at a later date CBT urban design director Kishore Varanasi said the master plan is designed to link with other improvements along the channel as well as open up new streets through the fenced-off campus to the waterfront was “to not think of this as an enclave in its own right but a pretty significant piece of a larger puzzle.” Varanasi said most of the site will be raised up by at least six feet and will also feature an extension of a berm planned for that side of the channel Much of the property is covered by the state’s Chapter 91 tidelands law which limits how much can be built near the water half of the 31 acres would be open to the public Gillette also wants to ensure the redevelopment includes spaces for civic and cultural uses To Kate Dineen, chief executive of business group A Better City, the Gillette master plan addresses key city priorities such as building more mixed-income housing, climate resiliency, and more public waterfront access. In particular, she cited the waterfront park as a “marquee investment” for the city. (Buckley is a vice chair on ABC’s board.) “An important element of feedback they received from the community [is] they don’t want cookie-cutter development,” Dineen said I think you see that represented across this master plan.” Jon Chesto can be reached at jon.chesto@globe.com.

This series explores the Black struggle for equal education in Boston from 1787 to 1976 culminating with protests and violence experienced under forced busing in Boston in the 1970s has long served as an integral public space for community gatherings This tradition carried on during the fight against busing in the 1970s due to the Monument's proximity to South Boston High School parents and other South Bostonians gathered to protest the buses arriving to the high school these activists called upon the revolutionary legacy of this site as their protests grew increasingly violent Some of these key moments at Dorchester Heights are explored below Court ordered busing in Boston Public Schools began on September 9 The plan called for Black students from Roxbury to be sent to South Boston High School and White students from South Boston to be sent to Roxbury High School South Boston parents protested forced busing in a variety of ways Some parents kept their children out of schools while others harassed bused students by shouting racial slurs and throwing rocks Some parents became involved in organizations such as Restore Our Alienated Rights (ROAR) or the South Boston Information Center which became the center of the anti-busing movement in South Boston Led by former Boston School Committee member Louise Day Hicks Restore Our Alienated Rights (ROAR) became the leading parents' rights organization that demonstrated against forced busing in South Boston While originally intending to be simply against forced busing their racism-tinged arguments against busing helped shape a combative culture in Boston fueling angry protests and weaponization of racial violence against the Black community Although ROAR protestors organized many of their own events they also often disrupted many other public events across Boston While many parents participated in ROAR-led protests, they also looked to other groups that supported their beliefs. During the second month of busing, religious leader John Doogan, who also served as the executive director of Massachusetts Citizens Against Forced Busing, led a prayer vigil at Dorchester Heights. He encouraged the "worshipers to keep vigil lights burning in their house windows and to pray daily during the busing crisis."[3] Courtesy of the Boston Globe Library collection at Northeastern University Archives and Special Collections leading to many Black people avoiding South Boston altogether Another example of the racial violence inspired by the anti-busing movement occurred at the end of the first tumultuous semester of forced busing at South Boston High School A Black student stabbed a White student during an altercation at the school Police arrested the Black student while the White student received medical treatment at the hospital The Dorchester Heights Monument has long been a center of the South Boston community and continues to be a central site of gathering local politicians and other leaders have used the Monument to stage political events and claim its revolutionary legacy as their own former member of the Boston School Committee from 1961-1970 and United States Congress member from 1971-1973 used this legacy to gain community support In addition to politicians, other high-profile public figures rallied at Dorchester Heights in support of the anti-busing movement. For example, David Duke, the head of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), came to South Boston in September 1974 to "urge them to join his organization and fight for keeping South Boston's schools all white."[6] [1] J [2] J [3] "Boston May Request Aid of US Troops blacks urge Federal action," The Boston Globe [4] Bob Sales [5] Ruth Batson "South Boston High Is Under Siege When A White Student Is Stabbed," The Black Educational Movement in Boston: A Sequence of Historical Events: A Chronology (Northeastern University School of Education [6] John F Download the NPS app to navigate the parks on the go part of the long-term redevelopment of the Mary Ellen McCormack housing complex in South Boston State and city officials are cheering a financing milestone in the redevelopment of the Mary Ellen McCormack public housing complex in South Boston a project that features the replacement of all 1,016 public housing units currently on site and the addition of more than 2,200 new The Boston Housing Authority and developer WinnCompanies announced Thursday they have secured financing for the first piece of the project a new 112,000-square-foot building with 94 modern apartments for low-income families currently living at the Mary Ellen McCormack All systems in Building A will be electric and it will feature a geothermal system with ground source pumps for heating and cooling The $62 million building will have 37 one-bedroom units 12 three-bedroom units and one four-bedroom unit A task force of tenants was involved in design decisions and all current residents at the McCormack have a right to return to new apartments once complete "This undertaking at Mary Ellen McCormack represents an important investment in affordable housing and an investment in our residents and our families," South Boston Rep "I am grateful for the partnership and collaboration between Boston Housing Authority residents elected officials and government agencies to preserve and enhance affordable housing in the South Boston community while addressing needs in the neighborhood and around Mary Ellen McCormack as identified by residents." expected to be complete in the fall of 2026 will run alongside $8 million in infrastructure improvements That includes a new Veterans Park with an accessible "tot lot" and splash pad reconfigured public streets and intersections The complete redevelopment of the McCormack which opened in 1938 and is one of the largest public housing developments in New England will feature eight new residential buildings to comprise a 3,300-unit mixed-income and mixed-use community freshened street-level infrastructure and a new community center The full project is expected to take shape over the next two decades though the residential portions are expected to be complete in about a decade At a time when the state wants to encourage housing production Thursday's announcement that BHA and Winn secured financing for the first part of the McCormack project detailed just how many moving pieces must come together to make a project of that scale possible "Funding for the construction of Building A is being provided in the form of a construction loan from the Bank of America; federal Low Income Housing Tax Credit and Energy Tax Credit equity from Bank of America a tax-exempt bridge loan and tax-exempt first mortgage loan from MassHousing; a subordinate loan from the Affordable Housing Trust Fund maintained by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Housing & Livable Communities; a subordinate loan from the BHA; and state Low Income Housing Tax Credit equity from Bank of America with a loan from BlueHub Capital," the release said Download this week's Reporter print issue or subscribe today to "Dorchester's Hometown Weekly Newspaper!"

the win “I was really anxious,” Ward remarked afterward “I was more nervous right there for a 15-lap shootout than I have been for a 100-lap shootout I was worried about how I was going to fire off with the track having been dragged with tires and the new rubber being taken off of it.” The win was Ward’s second of the season at South Boston Speedway tying him with Sellers who also has two wins
