UPDATE YESTERDAY: @MassDEP is requiring InterContinental to remove its new (but practically invisible) “Public Restroom” signage on Harborwalk and Atlantic Ave facades, and install new signage with more appropriate signs, including DEP license number. Stay tuned.

Pic #1: "Public Restrooms" sign at InterContinental Hotel prior to my complaint filed at @MassDEP in Feb 2026. Pic #2: Replacement sign deemed acceptable by DEP (yes, it's there): Black vinyl letters on reflective glass, virtually invisible. And no DEP License number.

It appears to be more of a limited Facility of Public Accommodation under #Chapter91 and even worse primarily a tenant amenity. Providing a public good & service? 🤔🧐

Missing in all the grand opening hoopla .. the space is CH91 regulated, @jonchesto do we think it principally fits the Public amenities requirement — cultural, recreational, educational, or community facilities that provide a meaningful public benefit. 🤔 bostonglobe.com/2026/10/07/b…

While people kayaked around Queens, N.Y., that kind of flooding didn’t happen in Mass. Here’s why: bostonglobe.com/2026/09/28/s…

ICYMI, @GlobeOpinion: Boston has a new plan to fortify its coastline. Let’s make sure we fund it. bostonglobe.com/2026/08/14/o…

Boston has a new plan to fortify its coastline. Let’s make sure we fund it. - The Boston Globe

The city could face more than $54 billion in losses between 2040 and 2090 if it fails to act. Hospitals, businesses, critical roads, tunnels, and the airport would all be vulnerable to repeat...
