BOSTON, Aug. 6, 2013 --- A pivotal Uphams Corner property near the Fairmount commuter rail became embroiled in controversy recently after neighbors learned that the city was discussing turning the former industrial site into a public works yard. The news surprised local stakeholders, who have been advocating that the city-owned site become a mixed-use transit-oriented development. The controversey died down when a spokesperson for Mayor Thomas Menino said that the mayor "agrees" with the neighbors.
