Description
One of the Beaver Hills neighborhood gateway brick piers has been toppled over, presumably by accident by one of the machines/vehicles milling the street the week of July 4th, 2018. While the pier is located on private property, I suspect that it is the City's responsibility to repair the pier in this instance since it likely resulted from their road milling efforts. [EDIT: Apparently, the brick pier was damaged in a car accident. Would it then be up to the property owner of 590 Winthrop Avenue to pursue property damages from the vehicle operator who was at fault?]
The brick piers are an important component of the Beaver Hills Historic District, which is registered on the National Register of Historic Districts. 590 Winthrop Avenue, the property the pier is located on, is a contributing structure to the historic district.

We believe the initial concern was removing the loose bricks from the sidewalk and public space, which occurred. Sometime after this incident, the LC Neighborhood Specialist from Beaver Hills was transferred to the East Shore, so the name of the commenter changed in the system. Sorry for any confusion.
LCI would like to see a new pier constructed!
We will consult with our legal team about the process to restore the pier.

Staff conducted research about the pier that was destroyed.
Said premises are subject to the right of the Beaver Hill Company to maintain the ornamental pier at the Northwest corner of Goffe Terrace and Winthrop Avenue. (contained in deed 765/528).

Staff haven't received any new information. This will be a long term project. LCI reported this concern to the City Plan Department and City Engineer.
The LCI Beaver Hill Neighborhood Specialist will work with the community to make sure this is repaired in the future. This isn't a simple fix.
