See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On January 19, 2023, Mr. Albert requested “…information related to the ‘Complete Streets Funding Program Tier 3 Project Application FY21 Round 1’ grant application dated October, 29, 2020 to MassDOT [and] …any and all communications regarding the raised crosswalks (street crossings) described in the grant application.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Albert petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR23/0215 was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Town provided Mr. Albert with a response dated January 8, 2023. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Town’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Albert may appeal the substantive nature of the Town’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Dan Albert One Ashburton Place, Room 1719, Boston, Massachusetts 02108 • (617) 727-2832• Fax: (617) 727-5914 sec.state.ma.us/pre • pre@sec.state.ma.us
