Wicked Local West Roxbury reports on the comments the three made before the Ward 20 Democratic Committee recently.

ParkwayBoston reports on 14 households that worked together to try to reduce their carbon footprint - they say they've cut their total annual contribution by 50,000 pounds.

The Bulletin has details on how a Canadian company will help the MWRA determine the best way to upgrade a seven-foot-wide sewer under West Roxbury and Roslindale: Two inspectors will be lowered into the large pipe near the Ohrenberger School - one to inspect the conduit's condition, the other to help get the first guy out in the event of any trouble.

Wicked Local West Roxbury reports that when police heard a few days ago that a Washington Street gas station had been held up by a tall blonde woman, they knew right where to go: Andrea Ruggiero's place.

Ruggiero was charged with holding up Eastland Gas after, police say, the attendant identified her. They rushed over to her Rockland Street home because she was charged with a series of similar heists in December and there just aren't that many tall blonde women holding up businesses in West Roxbury these days.

Innocent, etc.

The MWRA this week awarded a contract to an Edmonton company to figure out the best way to renovate an aging sewer main through West Roxbury, that is, a different aging sewer main than the one that forced years of traffic disruption along the VFW Parkway.

The West Roxbury Tunnel, seven feet in diameter, runs 2 1/2 miles from the VFW Parkway (near the McDonald's - and near the start of the Upper Neponset main under the VFW Parkway) under West Roxbury and Roslindale before emptying into another main at Hyde Park Avenue. The tunnel - which carries waste from as far west as Framingham - was bored through rock and is at some points 220 feet underground.

MWRA spokesperson Ria Convery says it's way too early to say if the project will involve major digging, because that will depend on how the MWRA decides to renovate the tunnel. She said the authority currently doesn't plan to begin work until 2012, leaving plenty of time for public hearings on the project, which currently has an estimated cost of $80 million.
