@MBTA Is there a better place to discharge this gutter than the east-side bus platform at Oak Grove? It’s covering the whole platform with water.

Great news for Melrose - the city's Liquor Licensing Commission JUST approved the permitting for Hannah's Brewery, which is applying to open up at 360 Main Street. Holy moly, it seems like Melrose is actually about to get a brewery.

At last night's City Council meeting Order 24-12, the proposal to adopt the Specialized Energy Code, passed 10-1. The effective date is July 1, 2024. The vote makes Melrose the 31st municipality to opt into the new code. #MelroseMA #mapoli

@nofunfinn It'd be interesting to see the cost all these meetings and delays add to the overall project cost vs going the 40b route.

@iann I sort of doubt it, there's a lot of up-front bureaucracy to deal there with and that would guarantee larger delays. Maybe they're wishing they started there though :)

After 9+ months of insane and miserable public hearings - during which 20 units have removed, more made smaller, and setbacks made larger - a decision on the 87-unit building at 14-24 Tremont St in Melrose was *once again* delayed tonight. 💀

To be clear I do not blame the Zoning Board at all for this. They have been put in an incredibly difficult position to try and adjudicate between the city's crappy zoning code and the reality of modern housing construction. Our Planning Dept and City Council need to do better.

While we're at it Massachusetts and the rest of New England should move to Atlantic time.

Out running a few errands this morning and stumbled upon @BikeToTheSea and a bunch of @cityofmalden Council members at the (soon to be open??) Bike Kitchen!

@nofunfinn Also perfect NIMBY case study material. We aren’t against housing just -this- housing.

A decision on this project has ONCE AGAIN been delayed, after Melrose's Zoning Board of Appeals has ONCE AGAIN asked the applicant for more work on this project. If anyone wants to do a case study on public hearings & administrative delays in housing production, come to Melrose!
Finn@nofunfinn

After SIX MONTHS of idiotic, costly, acrimonious, time-wasting public hearings required by our broken zoning code, tonight Melrose's Planning Board approved the 87-unit residences at 14-24 Tremont. Stay tuned for the exciting next step: MORE hearings, this time the Zoning Board!

@nofunfinn Absolutely incredible. We’d like to preserve the character of this parcel. You mean the asphalt wasteland that exists today?

Melrose's engineering department challenged Stantec to come up with the ugliest possible way to eliminate a sliplane and Stantec did not disappoint.
