The state has fined the owner of Independence Wharf on Atlantic Ave. for failing to open public areas on its property to the public.
In a statement, the department says Independence Wharf LLC has seen the error of its ways and agreed to pay both a $21,000 fine and $35,000 in missed state fees dating back to 2001 - when the owners agreed to create public spaces on the property as part of getting state permission to build right on the water.
The company will create "a facility of public accommodation of 2,856 square feet" on the ground level and will post signs letting the public know a 14th-floor viewing area is actually open to the public.

India New England reports on the appeal to state environmental officials over the tip of Long Wharf, currently the site of a public pavilion and park that the BRA wants to turn over to a developer because, apparently, the BRA doesn't think the area has enough restaurants already.

Yvonne Abraham writes today that Tom Menino should let Don Chiofaro replace the Aquarium parking garage with a 1.5-million-square-foot, um, something, and let's be snappy about it, Tom:
Maybe Chiofaro hasn't done himself any favors with his increasingly vocal persistence. But it's easy to understand his impatience, and his desire to start the conversation. And there is no doubting his commitment to contributing something truly spectacular to the city, and in a spot that desperately needs it.
Yes, because Chiofaro has such an outstanding record of contributing something truly spectacular to the city, and in a spot that desperately needs it. If, that is, you're a fan of Palladian windows.

John Ford explains why people looking for condos from the Back Bay to the waterfront might need to pick up two real-estate guides these days. Has to do with local brokers opting out of one listing service.

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?
