Morning.

My name's McGove, Interim Chief of Streets, Chair of the Public Improvement Commission.

I'd like to call the order of the public improvement commission hearing May seventh.

Mr.

Lining, can you please take a role?

Certainly.

Would the representative from the public works department please state their name for the record?

And commission for persons with disabilities.

I'll start with hearing minutes at the request of the public improvement commission staff acceptance of the minutes from the PHC hearing on April twenty third, twenty twenty-six.

Okay, onto the public hearing, public hearing agenda item number one on a joint petition by Data Pharma Cancer Institute and Beth Israel Deaconist Medical Center Incorporated for the granting of an earth retention license for the installation of a temporary earth support system within the following public ways in Roxbury.

Jocelyn Place on its northeasterly side at addresses number one.

As shown on a set of plans entitled City of Boston Public Works Department Engineering Division, Temporary Earth Retention Plan, Brookline Ave, Jocelyn Place, Pilgrim Road, 1 Jocelyn Place, Boston, two sheets dated April 29, 2026.

We will hand it over to the proponent.

Morning, Chief, members of the commission and the public.

My name is Howard Mosier.

I work at VHB at 99 High Street in Boston, and I'll be leading the presentation for the proponent this morning.

Two weeks ago at New Business, we presented a number of actions, including the one we're here for the public hearing on.

For a future cancer hospital in Boston's Longwood Medical and Academic Area on your screen, I gotta share.

Share screen.

On your screen, you should be seeing an image aerial rendering of the proposed project.

Again, located in Boston's Longwood Medical and Academic Area.

Just to refresh the commission in public, the project location is on the site of the existing Jocelyn Diabetes Center, adjacent to both Dana Farber's Longwood campus as well as Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center's West Campus.

And uh refresher of the rendered view showing the proposed project.

The first item uh for which we're requesting approval is on a temporary earth retention plan.

It contains uh temporary support, which will be cut down in the public way to the stipulated depths.

It includes tiebacks on Pilgrim Road and uh some support for temporary cranes.

Two weeks ago we received no comments.

I open it up for questions.

Thank you.

Hand over to PIC staff.

Uh, any questions or comments on this one?

I will take this opportunity to remind the public if you wish to ask questions or add testimony to any action item.

We ask that you please use the raised hand function, which can be found uh at the reactions tab at the bottom of your screen.

Um I do not believe that we have any comments or questions on this action, so I think we're all set.

Thanks, Todd.

How about members of the commission?

Hearing none, do we have a motion?

I'll make a motion to approve it.

Gary petition by Dana Harbor Cancer Institute Inc.

in Beth Israel Deaconness Medical Center for the granting of an earth retention license in Johnson Place, Brooklyn Avenue Pilgrim Road is ready to the record by the check.

Second.

All in favor?

Aye.

Aye.

Aye.

Aye.

Airing none so moved.

All right, next item on the agenda.

Uh, on a joint petition by Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center for the granting of a private utility license for the installation of new storm drain infrastructure within Pilgrim Road, public way in Roxbury, located generally northeast of Johnson Place, as shown on our plan entitled City of Boston Public Works Department Engineering Division Utility License Plan, one Jocelyn Place, Pilgrim Road, Boston, Longwood Medical Area, one sheet dated January 13, 2026.

We'll hand it back to the proponent.

Good morning, members of the commission.

My name is Howard Mosier from VHB.

Under this proposed action, we're proposing the installation of a drain overflow pipe, which will cross Pilgrim Road in order to access property on Crossover Street where groundwater recharge wells will be installed as a part of the stormwater management system.

We presented this two weeks ago at New Business, and no questions were asked, and I believe we've addressed all planned comments requested by PIC staff.

Thanks, Howard.

Todd.

Back to you and many public comments.

No, I'll just mention that uh crossover street uh was discontinued at some point in the past, and so it's uh currently simply private property owned by the proponents.

Um, so the only actual impacts to the public way are within Pilgrim Road here.
