BOS:311

I have contacted 311 to report tractor trailers idling around TD Garden before and an after events. Tonight I called when three pulled in on Lomansey Way and than 2 more arrived within minutes at 12:58 pm. More were seen on Causeway St and further down on Nashua ST Some were there more than a hour. I have yet to get a response from the city of Boston on any of my reports aside from a BP officer answering a call who approached 1 driver on Lomasney and said that if he lived here it wouldn't bother him. No tickets for idling or illegal stopping, standing were written. if the city is all right with what is happening around the TD Garden let me know . I will still see this situation as unhealthy for residents and I will continue to believe that with better scheduling of access to limited loading spaces by TD Garden operations the amount of time trucks remain stationary with their engines running can be reduced.

Tow zone. Putting a sign on their window and will call the tow in the morning if they are not gone.

Mr Eng-MBTA The evening female third-party security guard at Back Bay Station appears to spend much of her time monitoring and verifying digital fob access rather than actively patrolling the station. On many occasions, this security guard has declined to address individuals engaged in apparent unlawful or disruptive behavior, stating that the individuals were "not bothering anyone" or "not doing anything." Examples have included individuals sleeping on the station floor, apparent drug use on benches along Dartmouth Street adjacent to the station, and other conduct requiring security attention. Security personnel have also advised that, under their understanding of an agreement between Boston Properties and the MBTA, Transit Police are to be contacted only through Boston Properties during urgent emergencies, or that concerns should be brought directly to Transit Police officers only when officers are already present in the station. If this accurately reflects current policy, the MBTA should review whether the current security structure provides an appropriate level of proactive safety and security for passengers. A dedicated station security leadership model with MBTA oversight and direct protocols for contacting the Operations Control Center (OCC) for Transit Police assistance would improve accountability, response coordination, and security presence. The recent reduction in visible Transit Police coverage, including the absence of a consistent full-time evening presence and no dedicated weekend officer observed at the station, has further reduced security visibility at Back Bay Station. This change has coincided with increased safety concerns, including ongoing loitering, disruptive behavior, suspected illegal activity, recurring suspicious activity involving individuals who have become familiar presences at the station, and reduced immediate access to police assistance. The lack of consistent on-site enforcement highlights the need for a more proactive and accountable station security model.
