BOSTON – Bryan Glascock, Deputy Director for Regulatory Reform at the Boston Redevelopment Authority, has his work cut out for him. Appointed by Mayor Marty Walsh in 2014 to be Boston's first zoning chief, Glascock's job is to cull Boston's 3,000-page zoning code and recommend to the Zoning Commission ways to simplify and streamline the city's complicated, multi-layered regulations.
"Each neighborhood got addressed over time," Glascock explained in an interview last month, and the result is a "patchwork of zoning" and outdated regulations that often make it difficult for small businesses to get started and for developers to provide adequate housing for a growing Boston.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal judge says two women who allege that Uber drivers assaulted them, one in Boston and the other in South Carolina, can sue the ride-hailing company.
U.S. District Judge Susan Illston in San Francisco says the women showed the possibility that the drivers were Uber employees who acted within the scope of their employment. That could be determined later.
