Budding plan for HP Ave.marijuana dispensary

The Hyde Park Neighborhood As-sociation (HPNA) gathered on Thurs-day evening, March 1 in the commu-nity room of the District E-18 PoliceStation, drawing a crowd of about 30local residents and presenters for themonthly meeting.

The main item on the evening’sagenda had to do with a proposedmedical marijuana dispensary thatwould be located at 883 Hyde ParkAve., about a block from AmericanLegion Highway.

Representatives of newly foundedEvergreen Farms went before the As-sociation to give some background on

the project, present the basic businessplan for the dispensary, and to answerquestions.

Roslindale native Kris Krane,President of 4Front Ventures – a firmthat works with businesses to openhigh end retail medical cannabis fa-cilities – and advisor to the project,did most of the talking, though eachmember of Evergreen Farms leader-ship also spoke of their backgroundwith medical marijuana.

Evergreen Farms is currently in theprocess of applying to the City for aletter of non-opposition, which is amandatory component of the approvalprocess overseen by the Department

Transit Matters is proposing that the MBTA extend the Orange Line through the Park-way and into Needham.

Transit Matters, a transit advo-cacy group, recently released alarge report stating that the MBTAneeds to start focusing on regionalrapid rail transit rather than tradi-tional commuter rail.

The report, filed on the group’sweb site at transitmatters.org/re-gional-rail, stated that specificallythere is a long-term and a short-term solution for helping to easeBoston’s transit woes in terms ofwait times and access. Both ofthese items are focused on increas-

ing train frequency at stops in a bigway.

The first is a long-term solutionthat proposes the MBTA at least lookat making the Needham Line rapidtransit rather than commuter rail.Transit Matters co-founder MarcEbuna said though he realizes thiswould take a lot of work, it is some-thing the MBTA should be lookinginto and something the Paris ReseauExpress Regional already uses.

Ebuna said the MBTA could ex-tend the Orange Line through theCommuter Rail Stations and extend

The Friends of the Allandale Woodsgroup – first formed to oppose the 20-town house development at 64Allandale St. – said they are now work-ing to oppose a new development pro-posal at 1231 Centre St.

The location is directly below theborder of the Allandale Urban Wildsand, according to Friends memberTony LaCasse, could endanger one oftwo of the city’s official vernal pools.The proposal looks to put eight con-dominium units in one building on thesite – just one unit away from trigger-

ing the Boston Planning and Devel-opment Agency’s Small Project Re-view Process – but will face numer-ous zoning variances. The proponent,Gary Martell, was also scheduled toappear before the Conservation Com-mission on Wednesday after theBulletin’s deadline.

“There’s about less than three-quarters of an acre and more than 90percent of the land is conservationland,” said LaCasse, meaning that 90percent of the land in the proposeddevelopment is within the 100-footwetlands buffer required by law for

the Green Line to NeedhamHeights. For the Green Line,Newton, Needham and theMBTA are already looking intoa rail right of way on that routefor Green Line Service.

Ebuna said it would be ex-pensive for sure, but it defi-nitely would help increase ser-vice for riders commuting andit would take a lot more ve-hicles off of city streets. Thereare two problems facing thetransfer of the Commuter Railto rapid transit, the first ofwhich being platform heights.Areas where there are no highplatforms would be the mostexpensive; around $4 to $5million for each station to in-stall high-level platforms.

“Each Commuter Rail sta-tion has situational differencesand there are additional coststo accommodate that,” Ebunasaid.

The second problem is that

in some areas there are not tworails in place. At Peter’s Hillin the Arnold Arboretum, theline combines into one railfrom two and does not splitback until Baker Street.

“Our estimates are thatthere are some small and somenot-so-small bottleneckswhere you would need doubletrack service to ensure thattrains aren’t waiting for othertrains to get through their sec-tions,” Ebuna said. “It is pos-sible for us to do both doubletracking and Orange Line ex-tension for more frequent ser-vice throughout.”

The idea for extending theOrange Line at least toRoslindale Station has beenfloated as well for the Go Bos-ton 2030 Transportation Plan,but estimates there put thatsmall extension at $35 million,though Ebuna said that in thelong term for this plan theMBTA could realize a hugesavings through maintenance.The MBTA maintains a Com-muter Rail fleet of 125 loco-motives with about 85 in ac-tive service, and Ebuna saidthose machines are big, clunkyand expensive to maintain andbreak down frequently.

“They have a lot of mov-ing parts and they fail far morefrequently than even than theworst-performing electric mul-tiple units like those in use to-

day in New York City, for ex-ample,” he said.

Ebuna said the more short-term issue in their plan re-volves around the FairmountLine. Ebuna said the first thingwould be to electrify the wholeline and they would also runinto the station platform heightproblem. He said the cost forelectrification isn’t all that ex-pensive compared with anyother capital investment theMBTA is currently goingthrough.

“It’s about $4 million perroute, mile for nine miles plus$20 million for the two re-maining stations, putting it at$80 million for the wholething,” he said. “For theFairmount Line, we think $80million is a relatively small ap-propriation to take to get realrapid transit on the FairmountLine... This would ensure morefrequent service for the com-munities of color and the tran-sit justice communities inDorchester and Mattapan”

The report goes a bit fartherthan that, calling for electrifi-cation of the entire ProvidenceStoughton Line and the pro-curement or use of electricmultiple units on the wholesystem. This would require co-operation, however, betweenall the municipalities affected,the MBTA and the State ofRhode Island.

Roslindale Wetlands underproposed development again


The Roslindale WetlandsTask Force (RWTF) is onceagain gearing up to protect thesite at 104-108 Walter St.

Developer Feeney Broth-ers are again proposing toplace six condo buildings, 12units and a paved drivewaynetwork at 104-108 Walter St.along the edge of theRoslindale Wetlands UrbanWild. The company originally

proposed an almost identicalplan in 2005, and after manydiscussions, an agreementwas reached with Feeney,residents and then-MayorThomas Menino.

Residents have created apetition (which can be foundat change.org/p/mayor-marty-walsh-refuse-development-abutting-the-roslindale-wet-lands-to-protect-the-environ-ment-prevent-floods), citingthe same problems they hadwith the proposal before, in

that storm runoff from the sitecould damage the wetlandsnearby. RWTF member JimTaff said they though theagreement would hold up.

“The mayor reported thatthere would be no develop-ment and that was the end ofit on 104 and 108, which is theland that remains in theFeeney’s position,” he said.“But there was no deed re-striction. That was a problemfor some of us in the commu-nity at the time, but the mayor

stated he believed, I think,that by conveying the large 1-acre of squishy and saturatedland further out that what wasremaining was too small tobuild anything at all.”

Taff said they had re-quested a deed restriction di-rectly from the city, but therewas no reply at the time.

“We requested a deed re-striction of some kind afterthis 2005 gathering, and actu-ally we never spoke to themayor directly about that, andthe feeling was that therewasn’t enough land or front-age; it’s too close to the wet-

My Kindof Town/Joe Galeota

Woman beats train in 100-yard effortMost boys growing up in

Boston dream about running100 yards on a football fielduntouched by any opponent.The venue for such a fantasymight be White Stadium, EastBoston Memorial Stadium orthe fields abutt ing WestRoxbury High, English High,Catholic Memorial or BCHigh.

More than half a centuryago I did such, but I was noton a football team. I was asummer groundskeeper atWhite Stadium, and had thewhole field to myself on sev-eral occasions when I wouldgallop from one end zone tothe other.

No sprinter’s or footballplayer’s dash could match inimportance as that done by19-year-old Ashley Aldridgeon Sept. 15, 2015. A recentNational Geographic refer-ence, too brief as a matter offact, outlines this truly amaz-ing woman’s sprint; subse-quent on-line investigationinto her deed revealed muchmore to extol her act.

Working in the kitchen ofher mobile home in a smallcentral Illinois town, she hadan obstructed view of therailroad grade crossing abouta football field’s length away.Having just finished feedinglunch to her 1 and 2-year-oldchildren, she noticed throughthe kitchen window that awheelchair in the middle ofthe grade crossing was stuck.The wheelchair occupant wasyelling for help, but at leastthree vehicles blew by him

without stopping. Aldridge asked a neigh-

bor to watch her two kids sothat she could go help. Sud-denly she heard a train hornblast and the clanging of thecrossing gate’s bell. Bare-foot, she realized that nowshe needed to run at fullspeed and on the railroad’srocky stone bed to the 75-year-old man.

When she reached thewheelchair, which was mo-torized, the train was lessthan half a mile away downthe straight track. Approach-ing at almost 80 miles per hour,the locomotive’s horn was al-ready blaring.

She could not dislodge theheavy wheelchair, nor couldshe lift the heavy septuagenar-ian out of the wheelchair. Asthe train barreled toward them,with the blaring of the horn al-most deafening both of them,

she gave one final heave - wasit an adrenaline rush or thekindness of our God or a com-bination of both? - to yank himfree in a literal nick of time.Both fell backwards as the roar-ing locomotive smashed thewheelchair, pushing parts of ita half mile down the track.

The saved man was neitherher grandfather nor uncle, nordid she even know him.

Auburn, Ill., is a small townof 4,700 citizens; the man wasan utter and complete stranger,who would later claim thatAshley was his “guardian an-gel.”

Her reward was meager bytoday’s standards of giveawayson television quiz programs.AMTRAK gave her a couple offree tickets, and the ChathamCountry Market in the nearbytown of Chatham, Ill. (popula-tion 12,000) gave her three min-utes to pile anything she wantedinto a grocery cart. No fool she,Aldridge went straight for thehigher priced items that shewould not normally buy.

“I’m pretty excited be-cause we haven’t been ableto buy a whole bunch of foodfor the kids. I’m glad I canfinally make them real foodand not macaroni and cheeseall the time,” she said.

The $187 windfall cer-ta in ly came a t the r ightt ime. Before the rescue,someone broke into theirt ra i l e r home and s to lemoney meant for food andother bills.

Our God certainly worksin strange ways.

A LOT OF SQUAWKINGABOUT THE HEN HOUSE

To the Editor:I could not let another day

go by without commenting onyour article about the twohens and chicken coup onCorey Street.

In West Roxbury, wherethere are three and four-storycondos going up anywherethere is a vacant gas station,parking lot , abandonedhouse, or just green space, thefuss over two hens seemslaughable.

The contractors and de-velopers just ask for a vari-ance from the zoning boardif their buildings do not meet

local codes and are grantedthe variance.

I cannot imagine said zon-ing board refusing to grant avariance for a chicken coupwhen they grant them all thetime for very large condos onvery small lots. All this re-gardless of what the adjoin-ing neighbors want.

I wonder if the peoplewho are complaining are asworried about traffic, lack ofadequate parking height ofbuildings and density ofpeople from all these condosas they are about the twohens.

THE WHEELSON THE BUS

Editorial

At-Large City Councilor Annissa Essaibi-George is de-manding to know why the cost savings promised by the Bos-ton Public Schools Transportation Department have not yetbeen realized. Instead, for Fiscal Year 2018, there is a trans-portation cost overrun.

The short answer: anytime the government promises tosave money, it doesn’t. Taxpayer dollars will always betucked into a corner where it is “needed.”

Last fall, the BPS promised a cost savings of around $10million from new efficiency programs, including a contro-versial route-mapping change engineered with MIT.

In fairness to the school department, overhauls of thissort do take time. And, those new bus routes and times weredespised despite the savings.

Here, however is the real problem. At a recent meeting,Chief of BPS Operations John Hamlin said that one of thebiggest issues facing the BPS is half of students served byBPS Transportation are not BPS school students.

For the BPS, the department transports 33,545 BPS stu-dents to 133 sites every day, 166 students to 63 sites forprivate special education, 1,853 students to 43 sites for pri-vate or parochial schools and 7,406 students to 29 chartersites.

This is the travesty that needs to be fixed. We have highpraise for a parochial education and support charter schools,but the extra rides need to stop even if it takes legislation todo so.

Yes, we understand you are all taxpayers and should haveequal access to the services public schools have. But whyshould City schools subsidize competitors to such a lop-sided degree? Nearly 10,000 kids ride to school on Boston’sdime while students get up at dawn to work their way acrossthe city by MBTA. Let the charter kids do some of that samecreative travelling to get to school each morning.

At the very least invest in some cheaper form of trans-portation for these kids.

Then, indulge us; there is still the idea of returning toneighborhood schools. That, however, is an argument foranother day.

TIP OF THE WATERLOGGED CAPOur propensity for late winter storms has certainly con-

tinued this year, with two terrible, flood-inducing beastsback-to-back. As we should do more often, let’s take aminute to praise all the firefighters, EMS crews, and policewho have done an exemplary job of keeping us safe. It takesa special breed to rush into a storm, not seek shelter from it.We, as a city, are very lucky to have dedicated servants ofthis quality.

Oh, and the repair and construction crews out there. Wehaven’t forgotten your hard, cold, and sometimes thanklesswork. Restoring power to so many people must be an abso-lute nightmare, yet it is amazing (despite the inevitable crit-ics) how fast the job is getting done. Your work is appreci-ated!

At the time of publication, 845 residents have signed theonline petition at Change.org to be sent to Boston Mayor MartyWalsh, District 5 City Councilor Tim McCarthy and At-LargeCity Councilor (and Roslindale resident) Michaelle Wu. Thepetition demands that the city recognize the proposal is “ill-advised and contrary to the interest of the community and theCity,” and that the city honor the previous agreement reachedbetween Menino and the task force. The problem with WalterStreet is that the developers propose three structures in therear of the site which bump up against the wetlands.

The RWTF claims those structures would increase the threatof flooding, since the wetlands soak up rainwater, present adanger to the natural resources in the area and increase therisk of traffic collisions with more vehicles on the road.

The Longfellow Area Neighborhood Association will bediscussing the proposal with Martell on March 12 at theLongfellow School on 885 South St. at 7 p.m.

More plaintiffs added to Palladino/Nasif Ponzi reclamation suit


While Steven Palladino is still serving his prison term, many victims of his Ponzi scheme are still seekingrestitution.

As Steven Palladino stillserves his 10-year prison sen-tence for one of the largestPonzi schemes in the historyof Boston, victims are still try-ing to recoup the funds lost tohis scheme, and now a newplaintiff has joined the lawsuitto recoup the funds againstPalladino’s former businesspartner, Ernest C. Nasif.

Lorraine DeLuca hasjoined the suit in the NorfolkDistrict Court, claiming thatshe entrusted Nasif himselfwith $117,220 – which he al-legedly put into he andPalladino’s infamous VikingFinancial Group. The group

conned dozens of people outof about $12 million over theyears. DeLuca claimed thatNasif approached her to investfunds into his company, whichhe said was completely his, inreturn for high promised re-turns at 10 percent.

DeLuca said she receivedthe 10 percent interest fromNasif or Nasif ’s brother,Gerald Nasif – the former co-owner of the West RoxburyMotors on Centre Street – incash. Nasif has been orderedto pay back many of the vic-tims since Palladino was sen-tenced to jail. Recently, hesold his home for $1.2 millionto Joseph Mousalli, who wasin business with Ernest’syounger brother Gerald Nasif.

Mousalli and Gerald Nasifsold the business after beingsubpoenaed for dispositionsfrom some of the earlier plain-tiffs that money had been fun-neled through the business.None of those dispositionshave been proven, and bothGerald Nasif and Mousallihave denied any knowledge orinvolvement in the Ponzischeme.

The pair’s financial group,Viking, sought out victims forthe Ponzi scheme basically bygoing through friends andfamily. DeLuca said in her af-fidavit that Ernest Nasif washer cousin, and approachedher on several occasions dur-ing family functions about in-vesting with the group before

the scheme became public.Palladino was sentenced in2014 for 10 years and then anadditional two for failing tocomply with court orders tofreeze his assets. Basically, herefused to stop spending themoney that it was later provento be ill gotten gains from thePonzi scheme.

During a Securities Ex-change Commission forensicanalysis of both Palladino’s

and Ernest Nasif’s accounts,they found that $8 million hadbeen entered into various ac-counts associated withPalladino and Viking, and$1.8 million was paid to Nasifhimself. Said forensic accoun-tant determined that becauseof that evidence and more,Nasif had assisted Palladino

City Council talks BPS transportation, medical cannabisJefJefJefJefJeff Sullivf Sullivf Sullivf Sullivf SullivanananananStaff Reporter

The City Council met lastweek to discuss several is-sues facing the city, most no-tably school transportationand a medicinal cannabis fa-cility in West Roxbury.

The council voted unani-mously to extend a letter ofnon-opposition for a newmedicinal cannabis facilityat 1524 VFW Pkwy. in WestRoxbury. Distr ict 6 CityCouncilor Matt O’Malleysaid the area’s neighborhoodgroups have sent letters ofnon-opposition for the facil-ity so long as the facility re-mains strictly a medical dis-pensary and does not delveinto recreational cannabissales. O’Malley added thathe wanted to make sure thatthe zoning approval of thisfacility (to be discussed at aZoning Board of Appealshearing in the future) wouldbe contingent on that andthat Beacon CompassionCenter – the facility propo-nent – reach out to all saidneighborhood associationsas they have done over thepast year.

“I am very satisfied thatthey have agreed to both,” hesaid. “We are dealing withthis now because it seems tobe the law of the land, andthere seems to be some con-fusion as we get to recre-ational, but one of the rea-sons I feel so strongly thatmedicinal is needed is be-cause that’s precisely whatthis is. This is medicine. We

don’t have to get into it be-cause we a l l know thescourge of opiates has beenand in many cases, for manypatients, medicinal mari-juana is a far preferabletreatment for someone whois dealing with a chronic orfatal disease.”

O’Malley recounted thebat t le wi th cancer f romwhich he lost his sister threeyears ago and how medicinalmarijuana helped improveher quality of life during thattime.

“The fact that she couldeat half a cheeseburger andkeep it down was somethingthat will always be a greatmemory in an otherwise in-corrigible time,” he said.“That’s what this is about,and I heard f rom somepeople who are very upsetabout this and I understandit, this is a change, but thefact that we’re talking abouta medical facility staffed bymedical professionals is whyI support non-opposition tothis site as medicinal only,and that’s precisely whatBeacon Compassion hasagreed to.”

The council also receiveda message from Boston Po-l ice Depar tment (BPD)Commissioner Wil l iamEvans regarding Federal Im-migration, Customs and En-forcement Agency (ICE) de-tainer requests for the calen-dar year of 2017. Accordingto Evans’ letter, the BPD re-ceived 68 requests from ICEfor prisoners in their cus-tody. The BPD reportedly

gave all 68 access to the BailCommissioner. Eighteenposted bail and were re-leased from custody prior toarraignment, while 50 weretransported to court by ICE.Evans also noted that theBPD did not receive any re-imbursement from the fed-eral government for holdingthese individuals.

At-Large City CouncilorAnnissa Essaibi-George alsocalled for more hearings re-garding the Boston PublicSchool District (BPS) Trans-portation Budget. She saidthe district is expecting a to-tal spend for the fiscal year2018 to be $123 million ontransportation in the district.

“That’s a total of $7 mil-lion more than what we werepresented with during thefiscal year 2018 budget pro-cess,” she said. “Much ofthis rise is due to the cost ofour driver and bus contractand related costs to the ex-ception times, which is whenthe driver is driving beyondwhat is designated as part oftheir contract and forstandby drivers who are act-ing as back up drivers per-forming routes when activedrivers are not available.”

Essaibi George said thecurrent contract the BPS haswith Trans Dev, the district’scurrent vendor, is expiring atthe end of this school yearand the BPS is currently put-ting together a request forproposal for a new contractwith possibly a new vendorfor the next school year.

The council also voted to

approve a resolution broughtfor th by Dis t r ic t 2 Ci tyCouncilor Lydia Edwards tosupport the March for OurLives and ComprehensiveAction to Halt the Epidemicof Gun Violence being heldin major cities across all theUnited States on March 24.The march is a response tothe Parkland school shootingthat occurred earlier in Feb-ruary and, according to theMarch’s web site, Boston’swill take place on March 24at noon at Charles Street.

“This is a very serious is-sue and we need to also rec-ognize that as our youngpeople lead the way, as theyalways do – young peopleare always at the forefront ofall important social justiceissues – that we wil l bethere with them, that wewill acknowledge their painand that we will hear theirvoice and give them space

to lead the way,” said Dis-trict 7 City Councilor KimJaney.

Janey added that Bostonalso needs to look at waysof reducing gun violence inthe city, as many residentsof the city see gun violenceevery day.

“I think that we also needto recognize that while weare very fortunate that wehave not had a serious massshooting here in Boston, ouryoung people every singleday are experiencing gunviolence and trauma in theirown communities and theytoo have been organizingand fighting against this is-sue,” she said. “So we needto do more as a body and asa city to make sure that ouryoung people have the re-sources that they need andnot just the resources thatdeal with the trauma in ourcommunities.”

but, according to DeLuca, Nasif had told her that none ofher funds were tied up in that case and encouraged her toinvest more money with his company. When she becamesuspicious and tried to remove her principal investmentfrom the fund, she found Nasif to be nonresponsive.

Nasif was not found guilty in any criminal court, butthe civil action is still moving forward to return funds fromthe scheme to victims.

Each mass shooting feelslike that movie GroundhogDay where we say the samethings over and over again.Thoughts and prayers every-one says, and while that isgood we can’t stop there. Theother phrase you hear timeand time again is, “now is notthe time.” There will never bea good time to discuss a massshooting, but we need to dis-cuss it. The NRA stays quietfor a few days and then theiranswer is to increase thenumber of people who haveguns.

Arming teachers is not theanswer, and increasing theavailability of guns is not theanswer. Teachers performmany roles, but arming themto prevent the next shootingshould not be one of them.Mass shootings do not hap-pen only at schools. Theyhave happened at churches,workplaces, and movie theatersto name just a couple of places.Are we going to arm churchushers and ticket takers next?

President Trump says wehave to harden schools but, howhard? I want schools to be safer,but not make schools feel like

prisons.Why am I pessimistic on a

federal level? Let’s go back tothe Las Vegas shooting where,I believe, 51 people lost theirlives. One reason was theshooter was able to attach abump stock to the semi-auto-matics which allowed him tofire many more rounds from hishotel room.

There was a big call after-wards to ban bump stocks. Now,guess what happened since then.Only one state has banned them,Massachusetts.

People will say this is notabout guns, they blame the men-tally ill.

We have to do better with theway we treat the mentally ill, butdo not use them as the excusefor mass shootings.

One phrase that really upsetsme after a mass shooting is thatthere is nothing we can do. Thatis not correct. It would be morecorrect to say there is not thewill legislatively to do anything.Look around the world, we ownthe title of mass shootingschampion. I know guns are in-tertwined with the history of thisnation, but mass shootings onlystarted to spike in the 1990s.

We need to find the will and,maybe, those students and par-ents from Parkland are showingus how to do it.

“By then we had grown,so we were awful tenants,”he said with a laugh. “No,the owner of the buildinghad decided he wanted toretire, and I’ve heard differ-ent stories, but I believe thereal s tory was that hethought we wouldn’t be will-ing to pay the higher rent for

the building. He assumed wewouldn’t want it.”

Hartwell said that thatlandlord was also selling thiscurrent building on SouthStreet at the time, so theymade a lateral move.

“We came to a vote withone person in the majority tobuy the building,” he said.“As soon as we bought thebui lding, we renovated,

made sure we had tenantswho had everything theyneeded, and tore the wallsdown and bui l t th is andwe’ve been here s ince1981.”

Hartwell said the looks offascination and exhilarationon the kids’ faces when theycome in is a great motivationto keep up the trade.

“They are so excited andsmiling, or they can be alittle shy when they come up,but they’re usually cryingwhen they are required to go

home,” he said.Hartwell said that while

they are at high capacityfunction and open to thepublic twice a year, they areopen every Wednesday at alower capacity function ifresidents would like to comeup, on a limited basis, from6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

“It’s our club days, wecome, we do work on thelayouts, we run trains, it’sjust our time to enjoy thehobby every Wednesdayevening, and the doors areopen,” he said. “If someonewants to come upstairs andenjoy the club they’re wel-

come to, but we’re open andin a position where we’rerunning a lot of things andeverything’s cleaned up andit’s an actual show twice ayear.”

Hartwell said that if resi-dents see something differ-ent each time they come tothe museum, that’s not by ac-cident. He said part of thehobby is remaking the worldbuilt around the trains, aswell as making sure that allthe electric circuits requiredby the trains are in properworking order.

“We’re working on it ev-ery week, just to maintain itsometimes, I mean if a trackstops working properly or amachine underneath theturnout tracks stops work-ing, we’re always workingon it,” he said. “We’re alsoalways trying to make some-thing better, so we’ll tear itapart and redo it and that’snot just the trains, we’veprobably redone these moun-tains about three times.”

Resident Andrew Malland his daughter, Michaela,

each sought the perfect van-tage point to get in close tosee the model locomotivesgo. Mall said he brought hisdaughter several times be-fore and she seemed to en-joy it every time, but hethinks she’s now old enoughto remember it.

“I wanted her to see thisagain. We live in Roslindaleand we’ve heard about itover the years,” he said.“She likes all of them; shelikes the Thomas the TankEngine the best, but also theones she recognizes like theT Lines , she knows theAmtrak, too. It’s pretty cool.

I’m really impressed by theintricacy of the entire modelmaking; the details in thislittle city are amazing.”

Residents Jane Rousseauand her husband Craig Eramagreed, saying it’s alwaysfun to see what’s new in thelittle world of the museum,especially for their youngdaughter, Ada.

“It’s such a cool thing tosee in our neighborhood andfive minutes from our house,too,” she said. “It’s just re-ally great.”

Rousseau’s parents, Richand Linda, also came to themuseum to see the sites andspend some time with theirgranddaughter.

“We came down fromNew Hampshire to see ourfamily,” she said.

Residents Brendan andAllison Carey said they’vecome out several times nowfor the event.

“The kids love thetrains,” said Brendan. “Thisis our third time here, andit’s a great time. It’s usuallysuper packed.”

The site is vacant now but is sometimes occupied by ambulances waiting for calls. The location also raisesconcerns among residents for increased traffic along an already severely-congested Centre Street.


of Public Health.“The way that Boston has laid out its zoning rules, there

will be a dispensary in basically every neighborhood in thecity,” Krane said.

According to Evergreen Farms CEO Ben Smith, there couldbe up to 41 dispensaries allowed throughout the city.

Focusing on the inevitability of a medical marijuana dis-pensary coming to the community in one way or another, Kranepresented the local make up of the Evergreen Farms owner-ship –most of whom are either residents of Roslindale or thegreater Boston area – as a favorable selling point of the project.

“We would certainly be more accessible than any other com-pany that could possibly come here,” he said.

The industry, which is heavily regulated, requires all dis-pensary employees to go through a background check withthe Board of Health before being hired. As Krane explained,Evergreen Farms will also have its own separate comprehen-sive training program for all new employees.

Krane also went into detail regarding how the process wouldwork for a patient visiting the dispensary.

Only patients with a valid medical marijuana identifica-tion card can access dispensaries, which are open from 10 a.m.- 7 p.m. seven days a week.

At the dispensary entrance area, security personnel willcheck for the card and then send the visitor in to the receptionarea, where staff will run the card to make sure there are noproblems with it or with the patient’s account. From there, thepatient will be allowed into the limited access waiting areaand, from there, will be buzzed into the dispensing area, wherea patient care professional will assist.

Krane also informed the audience that there are State im-posed limits on how much cannabis a patient is allowed topurchase over any given two week period, which is tracked onthe State’s database system.

The marijuana that would be available at the EvergreenFarms dispensary would be grown by the company at a 65,000square foot warehouse in Worcester. Here, all of the productin its different forms will be packaged, labeled, and sealed fordelivery to the retail site at 883 Hyde Park Ave.

The marijuana that would be for sale at the dispensarywould not be covered under insurance and would be competi-tive with the black market price.

“If we charge too little, then there’s an incentive for peopleto purchase it and then go and flip it on the black market,”Krane explained, although he did add that a discount programwould be made available for low income patients as well asmilitary veterans.

Responding to a question regarding security measures forthe site, Krane described an elaborate obstacle course that anypotential thief would have to get through, involving cameras,motion detectors, no less than five locked doors, a biometricvault door, and a combination safe within the vault.

“Anybody who’s looking at this as a potential target is go-ing to have a lot better luck trying to rob the local packagestore or gas station than they are a facility like this,” he con-cluded.

Additionally, he explained that there would be cameras inthe immediate neighborhood surrounding the building, as wellas a security guard at the front door during high traffic hours.

Krane was asked another question about why EvergreenFarms had chosen to pursue the more rigorous medical mari-juana dispensary rather than a recreational one and if it in-tended to switch over at some point in the future.

Krane prefaced his answer by explaining that recreationalpermiting was not yet in place within the city.

“It’s possible that down the road, we may have the oppor-tunity to apply to convert that to a recreational dispensary, butwe don’t know if we’ll have the opportunity and we haven’tmade any decisions about whether or not we would do that,”Krane said. “If we had the opportunity, we don’t know whatthe zoning rules are going to look like for that yet, so it’s justnot a decision that we’re contemplating at this point.”

As Evergreen Farms continues with its application process,its representatives will continue to check in with the HPNA toupdate it on its progress.

the vernal pool. “I don’t knowhow he can build somethingthere.”

LaCasse said the Mayor’sOffice of Neighborhood Ser-vices will be hosting a publicabutters meeting at the DistrictE-18 Boston Police Station at6 p.m. on Wednesday, March14. The proposal also is askingfor several zoning violationvariances, including excessiveheight, excessive floor-to-arearatio, insufficient lot size forresidential use, insufficient sideyard, insufficient front yard,insufficient rear yard and forhaving the maximum number ofdwelling units per acre.

LaCasse expressed his dis-appointment with the whole

process, as they are still work-ing against the 64 Allandaleproposal in a lawsuit against thedeveloper.

“There’s a lot of frustrationon this kind of thing where wehave to deal with this parcel byparcel development,” he said.“I don’t think people wouldobject to a rezoning if it was partof a community process and wastransparent, but now we have po-litically connected developerswho are able to get what they wantand we have to go to court andspend tens of thousands of dol-lars to get the city to enforce itsown laws.”

LaCasse added that he feelsthere is a problem when a devel-oper can go to the Conservation

Commission without having anycommunity dialogue.

“Somehow, the developer hasgotten this on the ConservationCommission agenda this Wednes-day evening despite not havingconducted a community process,”he said. “It is a mystery as to whatthe road map for this communityprocess is supposed to be. That theCity of Boston is even willing toentertain a development proposalon a lot that is nearly 90 percentwetlands buffer for one ofBoston’s last two vernal pool sitesis a major statement on how littlerespect that some developers havefor community-based zoning stan-dards and the importance of de-cades old conservation protec-tions.”
