Vitale, CPA – Executive Director / Treasurer (Manages daily operations and activities of the Commission) FORMAL COMPLAINT AND DEMAND FOR IMMEDIATE INFRASTRUCTURE RECTIFICATIONTo: The Board of Commissioners, Boston Water and Sewer Commission (BWSC) To: The Honorable Michelle Wu, Mayor of the City of Boston From: The Uphams Corner Community Location of Infrastructure Failure: Catch basins at the intersections of Columbia Road & Albion Street and Columbia Road & Bird Street (referenced as Derven Street) Subject: Severe Flooding, Systemic Neglect, and Active Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Violations On behalf of the Uphams Corner Community, we are filing this formal complaint regarding the chronic failure and systemic neglect of the stormwater drainage infrastructure at the aforementioned intersections. The catch basins at these locations are perpetually clogged and structurally deficient. Following any significant rainfall event, they fail entirely, resulting in severe, widespread pooling that completely inundates the pedestrian crosswalks. Active Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Violations The flooding at these intersections creates an impassable physical barrier that directly restricts free and unimpeded pedestrian transit. By forcing residents to navigate deep, stagnant pools of water to cross the street, the Boston Water and Sewer Commission is in direct violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Cc Mayor@boston.gov, Robert Lombardi, BWS, Operation Manager, Members of The City of Boston, Boston City Councilors at at Large, etc. This is the third submission of the city of Boston 311 complaint.
