A Charlestown developer has filed plans to replace an auto garage and parking lot at 101 Condor St., at Brooks Street, with a four-story, 18-unit residential building with 18 parking spaces.

In a filing with the BPDA, developer Greg McCarthy says the proposed building is designed to both "compliment" the existing wood-frame houses around it and "serve as a compelling precedent for the area's future and ongoing development."

The filing does not specify whether the units will be apartments or condos, but in either case, two of them will be set aside as "affordable." The parking spaces would be in a garage, partially underground.

Recent months have seen developers propose replacing a number of the neighborhood's garages, in particular along Border Street.

Two restaurateurs known for their upscale establishments in Charlestown, East Boston and Faneuil Hall Marketplace are planning a 5,000-square outlet with "a creative menu and cocktail program and a lively oceanfront dining experience" at a luxury-apartment building under construction on Ocean Avenue, across from the Wonderland T stop.

John and Michael Aldi own The Reel House in East Boston, Pier 6 in Charlestown and Mija Cantina & Tequila Bar at Faneuil Hall Marketplace, as well as two restaurants at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut.

The proposed restaurant will also feature an outdoor patio and should open sometime next year.

In a statement, Revere Mayor Brian Arrigo praised the proposed restaurant as part of the upscaling of Revere Beach:

We can’t wait for Revere residents and visitors to have access to this new dining experience - the location, ease of transit and natural beauty of our waterfront really can’t be matched.

Vivian Gerard's security camera caught a pedestrian getting mowed down at the intersection of Dorchester Avenue and Adams Street in Fields Corner about 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday.

The gentleman with the backpack is crossing Dorchester Ave as all traffic lights are red, and the ped light turns “green” as he is about halfway into his street crossing. A car is speeding thru the intersection sending him over the car hood, and then onto the ground. The driver did stay on the scene. The hit pedestrian was taken by ambulance shortly after. At the time of the posting of this video the victim’s condition is unknown.

Gerard is fed up with the situation at the intersection and wonders when it will see some enforcement and more permanent changes to reduce the odds of a crash like this:

Flanked by 3 high schools, a myriad of businesses and a nearby Red Line stop, this is Fields Corner’s busiest intersection for motor vehicles and pedestrians alike. More often than not, there are cars still moving thru the intersection well after all the traffic lights have turned red and the ped light has turned green. Some of it as to do with people driving thru the red light –occasionally at a high rate of speed. In other cases, vehicles may go thru a green light but find themselves stopped in the middle of this wide intersection by someone taking a left turn for instance. Once the traffic in front of them clears up, they keep on driving thru the intersection even though all the ped lights are green and all traffic lights are red. This condition occurs at most light cycles during busy hour.
