[edit]DescriptionI-93 Viaduct Light Art Update, February 3, 2014 (12290298964).jpg |
Light artists have updated the new lights under the I-93 viaduct in the South End. The areas were formerly used for storage of equipment and materials related to highway and tunnel maintenance. Neighbors on both sides of I-93 expressed interest in reuse of the site. MassDOT formed a community advisory group and partnered with NSTAR and the developer of a nearby parcel on Albany Street to create a plan to convert the area into parking that will be staffed 24-hours a day, provide improved lighting, and create an active and safe environment between the South End and South Boston neighborhoods. Built at an upfront cost of $2.5 million, MassDOT will recover the cost through revenue generated by the new parking lots. The lots are expected to be active this spring. A third lot between Herald and Traveler streets is slated to be developed as a Phase 2 to the project that will also include additional green spaces, connections to the Harborwalk, as well as additional parking. “Working with our partners during the course of the development of this project really challenged everyone involved to think creatively and work collaboratively to eliminate the blight and create a new use that satisfies an existing need for additional parking,” said MassDOT Highway Administrator Frank DePaola. “Additionally, the new lighting installations will go a long way to creating an environment that no longer discourages walking and cycling, but encourages it.” |

Definition of "public record"
Public records are defined in A Guide to the Massachusetts Public Records Law, Published by William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Division of Public Records, (Updated January 2017) at https://www.mass.gov/files/2017-06/Public%20Records%20Law.pdf on page 40, under M.

This is consistent with the statement at http://www.sec.state.ma.us/ARC/arcres/residx.htm:
Note: Works that are considered "public records" but were not created by a state or municipal government agency may be copyrighted by their author; the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution prevents state law from overriding the author's right to copyright protection that is granted by federal law. For example, a state agency may post images online of the final appearance of a building under construction; while the images may be "public records", their creator (eg. architecture/construction firm) retains copyright rights to the image unless the contract with the agency says otherwise.
