Robert Bamberg v. Massachusetts Department of Transportation (SPR 20253267)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records November 20, 2025 SPR25/3267 Stephen Shorey, Esq. Senior Counsel Office of the General Counsel Massachusetts Department of Transportation 10 Park Plaza, Suite 3510 Boston, MA 02116 Dear Attorney Shorey: I have received the petition of Robert Bamberg appealing the response of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (Department/MassDOT) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On August 28, 2025, Mr. Bamberg requested: [1] [A]ny detailed maps they may control showing all city, state, and public/private utility lines around [an identified individual’s] home at … Alden Ave[;] [2] [D]etailed maps showing all city, state, public and private utility lines that run through the Point of Pines. Specifically I am looking for maps that include Delano Ave, Alden Ave, and Bickford Ave, along with a span of the Lynnway that abuts each of these 3 streets. The requested records were the subject of a prior appeal. See SPR25/2780 Determination of the Supervisor of Records (October 1, 2025). In my October 1st determination, I closed SPR25/2780 in light of the Department providing Mr. Bamberg with a response on September 30, 2025. Unsatisfied with the response, Mr. Bamberg petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR25/3267, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Department provided Mr. Bamberg with a supplemental response on November 14, 2025. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Department’s September 30, 2025 response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Bamberg may further appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
