The Boston Business Journal reports the 40-unit Urbanica 691 proposal on Mass. Ave. near Harrison Avenue next goes to the Zoning Board of Appeals in December.

Harry Mattison gets the scoop on the delay of tomorrow's originally scheduled vote. Michael Pahre wonders if it has to do with local officials, in particular Councilor Ciommo, still expressing reservations over the latest proposal.

The most prominent thing on the Boston Redevelopment Authority's Web site is a Flash package that features Tom Menino standing in front of the Boston skyline - enhanced by the 80-story tower he wants to build at Winthrop Square.

For a building that never got built, Winthrop Square sure gets around:

The BRA is leading efforts to win federal stimulus money for a proposed $84-million revamp of the antiquated Marine Industrial Park (which includes the Black Falcon Pier), by among other things, adding facilities for handling larger cruise ships and restoring freight rail service back to the waterfront.

Floon finally realizes there are better backdrops for press conferences than City Hall, travels to the Brighton Mills Shopping Center this morning to denounce the way the BRA "steamrolls" neighborhoods.

Harry Mattison, who posted copies of BRA correspondence about the Charlesview project he got under a public-records request, notes today's Globe story about those records, and reads an interesting sentence in that story:

Elsbree said BRA staff had reviewed the project's finances to ensure that it can be completed.

See, in his public-records request, Mattison specifically requested "all financial documents" related to Charlesview, and yet the CD he got from City Hall had no financial documents in it. What do you say, Brighton resident and Secretary of State Bill Galvin?

Mattison also explains how Mayor Menino, who controls the BRA, has mishandled the Charlesview process.

Ed. note: Naturally, the Globe doesn't link to Mattison's collection of e-mails. Click on the first link in this post for them. UPDATE: They added a link.

Harry Mattison posts copies of BRA correspondence related to the Charlesview project that he got under a public-records request. As is usual with such stuff, the BRA gave him photocopies of printouts of the e-mail, rather than, oh, a CD with text.

Just in the first couple of pages, it's interesting to see BRA hostility toward a neighborhood group.

You may recall how, in a fit of pique, city lawyers last Friday dumped a shopping-cart worth of paper copies of e-mail on a desk and told reporters to have at it for a few minutes.

They've done it again. Harry Mattison reports the BRA pulled the same paper-copies shtik on him in response to a public-records request he made related to BRA dealings on the Charlesview relocation project. Because, you know, providing electronic copies of the electronic documents would make things too easy or something. He also reports the only reason the BRA didn't charge him $560.39 for the basic search and 20 cents per page for each copy was because City Councilor Mark Ciommo got involved, which is probably a good thing since the papers rise nine inches high (with photo of the stack).

Matt Conti shows BRA plans that would allow a 110-foot structure on what is now a parking lot on Cross Street - or twice as high as now allowed, along with other beefy buildings.

It only took 13 years or so, but the Globe finally got around to writing a story about the personal dictatorship of Caudillo and aspiring Mayor for Life Thomas Menino.
