Called to follow up on no response. Spoke with Katie in Press Office, who promised someone would return call within a day or two.
Received a follow up phone call from Christopher Lowe, with the Mayor's Office. He apologized for delay, and said the request was forwarded on to the Boston Redevelopment Authority, care of Susan Ellsberee (office line 617-918-4426), director of communications for BRA.
