Repainting Bus Lanes on Summer Street Councilor Flynn Calls for Repainting Summer Street as Bus Lane Pilot Ended in September 2024

A

t this week’s Boston Cit y Council hearing, Councilor Ed Flynn filed an order for a hearing to discuss infrastructure changes and repainting of Summer Street to ref lect that the bus lane pilot ended in September 2024. It has been over 8 months since the Summer Street Bus Pilot has ended, however, the painting on the street and solid white lines still remain. Despite the Pilot having long been over, ma ny const it uent s rema in confused about its status due to “Bus Only” still being painted at Summer Street and Dorchester Avenue near the United States

In addition, there is confusion among neighbors on social media regarding whether potentia l MBTA regulations aimed at bus lane enforcement, with fines up to $125, will be applicable to Summer Street, even though the Pilot ended in September of 2024.

In the Fall of 2023, Boston Tra nspor t at ion Depa r t ment (BTD) made street design changes for the Summer Street Multimodal Corridor Pilot to include a bus and truck lane bet ween South Boston and South Station, with signs and paint that were visibly placed on the street in September 2023.

However, due to a lack of clear communication- residents and civic organizations, the South Boston Elected Officials, and Continued on Page 2

Prior to installation, an over whel m i ng nu mber of residents and stakeholders in South Boston called attention to the potential for unintended consequences of the Pilot and its overall fit for the entire corridor at community meetings, including serious concerns on the impacts to the Boston Convention &

E x hibition Center, Conley Terminal, the Flynn Marine Industrial Park, and surrounding hotels and businesses. While Councilor Flynn repeatedly informed the city that while the already existing one block stretch of Bus Lane between South Station and the Federal Reserve was helpful to move our workforce through what was a known bottleneck of traffic, extending this down the entire corridor would create the exact problems the City was trying to alleviate. In short, repeatedly

SOUTHBOSTONONLINE.COM warned for years it would be a solution in search of a problem.

During the Pilot, residents continued to provide significant feedback regarding increased unpredictability on the road and traffic times, along with the creation of areas of congestion that did not previously exist.

This included traffic backing up while waiting for turns at Summer Street and D Street in several directions, as well as blo c k e d i nter s e c t ion s.

In September 2024, the City announced abruptly that

Happy Mother’s Day From

Senator Nick Collins & Family

the Summer Street Bus Lane Pilot had ended due to it not working as intended, and that the bus lane had only improved peak bus trips by 15-30 seconds.

But even today, residents still call attention to the older traffic lights coming from the ground at the corners of Summer Street and D Street, or Summer Street and Dorchester Ave, that are now “bike lane lights.” Residents have noticed that when the bike lane light turns green to provide lead time for cyclists, drivers will instinctively start to move because they see a green light where it’s always been. Neighbors have witnessed fender benders or Commercial delivery trucks drive into the crosswalk during a red light due to this confusion, or distracted driving on their phones, when the bike light turns green. To date, there has been no public education or awareness campaign around that issue.

“Eight months after the Summer Street Bus Lane Pilot ended, both residents and visitors remain unsure of the rules of the road as we have yet to repaint the lines, remove the words “Bus Only” in the street, or whether new MBTA regulations and fines will be applicable to Summer Street. In the interest of restoring predictability on the road, public safety, and public awareness, it is critical that the City both update the community and make these infrastructure changes so that everyone is aware the Summer Street Bus Lane Pilot ended last fall,” said Councilor Flynn.

The 2025 Gavin Gala a Great Success

The Hon. Martin “Marty” Walsh, an Event Chair, addresses the Gavin Gala.

by Rick Winterson

T

he Gavin Foundation’s 2025 “Road to Recovery” Gala – an event that will provide help to those who seek or are enrolled in the Gavin’s recovery programs was a great success. More than 400 guests attended the Gala, which included both silent and live auctions, two Gavin Foundation Awards, and most of all, an evening spent in good fellowship.

A memorable time was had by all.

Peter Ba rbuto is t he President and CEO of the Gavin Foundation; he served as one of the evening’s Event Chairs as well.

He is an accomplished speaker, and gave a summary of the Gavin’s history that began on East Fourth Street over 60 years ago.

Peter spoke of John McGahan’s role in spreading the Gavin’s recovery services far and wide in and around Greater Boston, and he closed those remarks by stating that “John never said ‘No’ to anyone.” He also saluted the other three Event Chairs – Brian Nee, Eileen Connors, and William “Willie” Ostiguy.

Peter then conferred the evening’s 2025 “Caring Hearts” Award on Edward A. “Edso” Kelly. The Award recognized Edso’s ongoing support of the Gavin, the whole recover y movement, and first responders

across the nation. He is currently the President of the IAFF (the International Association of Fire Fighters) and he took part in major disaster responses, such as the attack on the World Trade Center and the Boston Marathon bombing. Despite his nationwide responsibilities, E dso still devotes time and effort all over Greater Boston to organizations such as the Gavin Foundation.

Next, Ma ssachu set t s Governor Maura Healey received the Gavin Foundation “Person of the Year” Award from Peter, for her dedication to helping those who are struggling with addiction, substance abuse, and behavioral health difficulties. Peter praised Healey for her legal battles against the pharmaceutical industry, concerning pharma’s now wellknown roles in America’s opioid crisis. As a result, settlements of many billions of dollars will now become available to fund countr y-wide recover y progra ms.

A nd recently, Healey’s administration signed legislation in support of recovery statewide recovery programs.

Many prominent guests attended Thursday’s Gavin Gala.

John McGahan, now retired after 30 years devoted to expanding the Gavin Foundation services, was there. Marty Walsh, Mayor of Boston, Secretary of Labor, and Executive Director of the NHL Players Association since 2023, delivered a few words – “He never forgets the work in recovery” was a frequent comment heard about Marty at the Gala. And the Gala closed with Tom Tinlin in the role of the evening’s auctioneer – a selftaught auctioneer at that. Tom is a Markets Director at Howard Stein Hudson, and he has consistently suppor ted Sout h Boston’s neighborhood organizations.

His expert handling of auctions is invariably awesome – Tom successfully auctioned off sports events, travel items, and elegant dining out last Thursday evening.

IAFF President Kelly holds his “Caring Hearts” Award, as Willie Ostiguy, Peter Barbuto, and Brian Nee look on.

Rep. Biele Secures $1.7 Million For Firefighters Funds support Boston Fire Department Training Academy

The Massachusetts House of Representatives passed its budget for fiscal year 2026 (FY26). During the House’s debate, State Representative David Biele filed and successfully advocated for the adoption of an amendment filed on behalf of the Professional Fire Fighters of Massachusetts and Boston Firefighters Local 718 to provide funding for hazardous material response teams and firefighter training academies for FY26.

Specifically, Rep. Biele’s amendment allocates $1.7 million for

the Boston Fire Department’s Training Academy. In addition to supporting the Boston Fire Department, the Training Academy also serves as a valuable resource for public safety response teams across Massachusetts. Just last year, the Training Academy provided education and training to over 50 public safety agencies located across Massachusetts.

“Boston Firefighters Local 718 commends Representative Biele for advocating within the House of Representatives and the State House for critical funding for Boston Firefighters,” said Sam Dillon, President of Boston Firefighters Local 718. “Training is a vital component of firefighting and Rep. Biele’s advocacy to secure essential funding demonstrates his commitment to firefighters and the public we gladly serve.”

Rep. Biele’s amendment garnered bi-partisan support from 58 state representatives from across Massachusetts and was adopted by a vote of 154-2.

“I am grateful for the support of my colleagues in making these crucial investments for our first responders,” said Rep. Biele. “These funds will ensure that our firefighters are trained and have the resources necessary need to keep our communities safe.”

In addition to Rep. Biele’s amendment, the House FY26 budget includes over $3.126 million for fire department hazardous material response teams across Massachusetts, including the City of Boston.

Councilor Flynn Calls For 7 Night “Resident Parking Only” In South Boston

oston City Councilor Ed Flynn filed a hearing order to discuss implementation of a 7 nights per week “Resident Parking Only” policy in all areas of South Boston that do not currently have overnight parking restrictions. For several years, Councilor Flynn made this recommendation for many reasons - including in the interest of fairness and consistency with residents in neighborhoods throughout South Boston, as City Point has had 7 nights per week “Resident Parking Only” for over a decade, as well as other neighborhoods in similar proximity to Downtown currently having enforcement of an even stricter “24/7 “Resident Parking Only” policy than what Councilor Flynn is proposing.

For years, residents have highlighted the impact of decades of unprecedented growth in South Boston on parking and quality of life - including the unsusta inable imba la nce of currently issued resident parking stickers and available parking spaces, along with a number of large-scale development proposals on the horizon that will include thousands of new residents and visitors alike. In addition, the City of Boston continues to hold South Boston to a different standard when it comes to a lack of sufficient parking with new Article 80 development projects.

At the same time, neighbors have to consistently search for parking for a considerable period of time after taking their children to activities, helping an elderly parent, or enjoying a night out they come home to circle for 45 minutes hoping to find a spot.

Over the last several years, the parking crisis in South Boston has become increasingly unsustainable. In 2023, a Boston Tra nspor t at ion Depa r t ment (BTD) study indicated there were 28,900 active resident parking

permits and only 10,600 on-street pa rk i ng spac e s. A lt hou g h Councilor Flynn requested an audit of all residential parking permits, and BTD subsequently revoked thousands that were ineligible, concerns remain for residents on enforcement and a policy of automatic resident parking permit renewals that has continued since the pandemic.

Meanwhile, South Boston continues to absorb a significant number of Article 80 development projects, with many currently either in the pipeline or now in community process such as Washington Village, 776 Summer Street (Edison Project), Mary Ellen McCormack, On the Dot (Dorchester Ave), 244 A Street, Gillette, the Reserved Channel Development, and nearby Dorchester Bay City.

There is an approved hotel on Cypher Street without parking, and resident parking is also currently not available on many areas of First Street. While there are projects that have gained support of the community in the midst of our housing crisis, development teams have reported being stalled with requests to cut already agreed upon parking ratios and closely adhere to BTD’s recommended guidelines of 0.5 spots per unit, instead of local zoning regulations. Residents then express concerns regarding sufficient parking on-site for new development, and question the ability of BTD to restrict residential parking permits for new rental developments and prevent an overf low of street parking. Just this week - thanks to the advocacy of hundreds of South Boston residents, local civic groups, and the South Boston elected officials - the Zoning Board of Appeal (ZBA) denied a proposal that featured 70 units and zero parking spaces.

South Boston residents

consistently report a large number of out-of-state plates and cars lacking a resident parking permit, even during hours of “Resident Parking Only”Monday-Thursday, 6pm-10am.

With the neighborhood having become a destination for young people on the weekend, this dynamic increases significantly as many visitors park for several days beginning Friday morning at 10am through Monday evenings at 6pm. At the very time this inf lux of non-resident vehicles occurs each weekend, there are no “Resident Parking Only” restrictions to speak of, and BTD enforcement scales back drastically. As a result, neighbors report increased public safety issues, such as illegal parking in handicap spots, crosswalks, MBTA bus stops, block ing driveways and f ire hydrants.

For years, residents have been told at development meetings t hat impacts on parking will be limited; yet, the abundance of parking on holidays tell us otherwise. As our City encourages use of the MBTA and other means to reduce traffic, congestion and single use vehicles - there should be no issue with an updated resident parking policy to help curb additional

vehicles, dissuade young people visiting our local establishments from drinking and driving, provide relief for residents, and mitigate the negative impacts to public and pedestrian safety from drivers unfamiliar with our roads or illegally parked cars.

Over the last 18 months, BTD informed Councilor Flynn that the City would implement his plan. In December, the City conducted a meeting with the Chamber of Commerce regarding the South Boston Transportation Plan, wherein they also discussed their intention to implement Councilor Flynn’s policy to convert remaining areas of South Boston to “Resident Parking Only” 7 nights per week, for all areas that currently lack overnight restrictions.

“In the final analysis, it is no longer tenable for the absence of an updated seven nights per week ‘Resident Parking Only’ policy for areas of South Boston that still lack one, and the consistent enforcement it requires,” said Councilor Flynn.

“I understand that not everyone will agree with my proposal, and the need for the City to also explore caregiver passes and visitor zones; however, the status quo is simply unacceptable.”
