Alicia reports:

On my way to the corner of L and Broadway this morning, I counted 3 different tow companies within 4 city blocks clearing cars away for street cleaning. (Which takes place on Tuesdays between 5 and 7 am.) ... They reminded me of sharks greedily swimming around fresh kill. ...

Channel 5 reports that the Boston Police Accident Review Board determined Officer Jesse Stotts violated several department rules when he plowed into Ann-Marie McNally of South Boston on Nov. 10.

McNally died and Stotts suffered injuries that continue to keep him off the job. At the time, Stotts was responding to a report of an officer in trouble. The board said Stotts entered the intersection of West Broadway and D Street at 52 m.p.h. even though his view of the intersection was obscured.

In July, the Suffolk County DA's office determined that McNally was not at fault but that it could not bring charges against Stotts because of state laws on responsibility when an officer is responding in an emergency. However, the DA's office called on Boston Police to review its emergency-response procedures.

It is up to Commissioner Ed Davis to determine whether Stotts is disciplined.

Associated Press reports on the settlement between the family of Milena Del Valle of Jamaica Plain and 15 entities, including contractors and the turnpike authority over her wrongful death in 2006.

And in the seaport district, no less. The Boston Business Journal reports that the U.S. Army Reserve is moving a training and office facility to Virginia and so is putting the land and buildings - split among 13 parcels off Summer Street next to the Convention Center - up for sale.

Jason reports a feeling of smug satisfaction at 8:30 this morning as he watched some guy in business clothes running after his car:

... His car, resplendent with orange warning sticker-of-seizure as issued by the City of Boston, was attached to a tow truck, and being removed from a residential parking spot where it sat between two other parked vehicles. ...

It would be like moving Fenway Park to Stoughton.

Especially to the warehouse district.

Four taken to hospital after an underground failure of electrical wire at 112 Tudor St; house condemned due to "trash, food, spiders, rats, feces, cats, and dogs" all over the place.

The Boston Business Journal reports that owners of the Barking Crab won't go silently into that good night: They've submitted plans to replace their shack with a six-story building that could complicate plans for the gazillion-dollr Seaport Square project all around the restaurant.

The developers of that project had proposed their own six-story building basically right atop the Krusty Krab Fort Point Channel establishment - and offered space in it to the Barking Crab.

John Keith offers some grudging admiration for the shellfish behavior:

Gale International did all the "dirty" work, hosting at least six community meetings, modified all its plans, got everyone on board (including the BRA) and now the BC wants to come in and just build? Well, wouldn't you?
