Claiming to not yet have received a response, Mr. Wagner petitioned this off~cean d this appeal was opened as a result. Subsequent to the intervention by a staff member of the Public Records Division, I learned that MassDOT responded to Mr. Wagner's request with a response sent via email on June 23, 201 7. Whereas the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of MassDOT's failure to provide a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed.
