    Boston Water and Sewer Commission 980 Harrison Avenue Boston, MA 02119-2540 617-989-7000 October 9, 2019 Mr. Timothy Czerwienski, Project Manager Boston Planning & Development Agency One City Hall Square Boston, MA 02201 Re: Suffolk Downs Redevelopment Project East Boston and Revere Dear: Mr. Czerwienski: The Boston Water and Sewer Commission (Commission) reviewed the Additional Information Document (AID), and its appendices and attachment for the Suffolk Downs redevelopment project located in East Boston. The AID was prepared in response to the Request for Additional Information (RAT) issued by the Boston Planning and Development Agency (BPDA). The Commission’s most recent letter to the BPDA is dated May 30, 2019 provided comments to the BPDA on the Supplemental Information Document (SID) for this project. The AID and supporting documents, described changes to the project since the filing of the SD. The additional information provided was related to issues that do not have direct impact on the Commission’s Site Plan requirements. However, the additional information in Attachment 1 indicates that Right-of-way easements will granted to the City of Boston for the streets shown in Exhibit C-i. If~, the City agrees, the Commission is required, by mandate, to own and maintain the street drainage system. The Commission’s ownership and maintenance responsibilities will begin after the Right-of-way is granted to the City. However, drainage of private property will remain the responsibility of the property owner and will require a separate privately owned drainage system. One topic that was not addressed in the AID was ownership of the wastewater collection lift station that is needed to pump wastewater from the site to the Commission’s collection system.

  • Seabiscuit Program Transcript
    Page 1 Seabiscuit Program Transcript Narrator: On New Year’s Eve 1938, columnist Walter Winchell published his annual list of the top ten newsmakers. Nine men were named, including Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Neville Chamberlain and Adolf Hitler. The tenth spot went to a horse. Gelo Hall, Jockey Agent: He was a hero. This horse had to come from the bottom of the heap. To the top. Newsreel (archival): They’re head and head. It’s horse against horse. Seabiscuit leads by a length… Gelo Hall, Jockey Agent: And he fought his way up the ladder. And I think this was the thing that people liked about him. And I think that’s the way America likes sometimes to crown their champions. Newsreel (archival): Ladies and Gentleman, NBC has turned over its nationwide facilities for a paid tribute to Seabiscuit, the Wonderhorse. Gene Smith, Writer: Maybe the fact that he had the hard scrabble beginning…maybe the fact that he wasn’t good-looking—he was blocky, he was coarse, crude-looking. Maybe the fact that he had a kind of busted down jockey…somehow it all came together to create a star. Laura Hillenbrand, Author: He came along in the worst years of the Depression. Americans were down and out. They were poor, they were losing their jobs and their houses and they, they wanted a hero that came from the wrong side of the tracks, that was beat up like they were. And for a brief moment in America, a little brown racehorse wasn’t just a little brown racehorse.
