Menino Administration Responds to Nag Letter

Posted by John B. Kelly

The Menino administration's response to the NAG letter of June 9 is now in.

Workers from McCourt construction company showed up today on Huntington Avenue, right in front of Pizzeria Uno, and began laboriously pulling up bricks, adjusting the asphalt base underneath, and re-laying the bricks. They placed the bricks on a mixture of cement and sand ("dry pack"), which hardens up when wet.

The workers may be there quite a while, as it is very slow and tedious work resetting bricks like this.

Of course, during construction, access was not maintained.

Really, after everything we have told city officials about our problems with brick, how can they just keep on ignoring us, keep on wasting everyone's money on these terrible bricks?

Because they can, I guess.

More updates coming soon as we plan a response.
