April 17, 2008: Transportation Committee Meeting Report
The Transportation Committee Meeting held on April 17th gathered residents of the Cottage Farm neighborhood. Deborah Raptopoulos, Susan Williams and Ronald Shaich spoke of the dangerous intersections at Lenox Street & Prescott Street, and Prescott & Euston Street where 2000 cars travel each day as a way of detouring the one block one way at the end of Carlton Street. Residents of Carlton Street were there speaking of their need to find ways to slow traffic and congestion on this major street connecting the BU bridge traffic and the north section of Beacon Street. The committee said they would study both requests and offer solutions to the neighborhood that would satisfy both issues. One suggestion was to close completely the entrance to Lenox Street so there would be no cut through the neighborhood.
April 15, 2008: B.U. Presentation to Selectmen
On Tuesday, April 15th at 8PM, Boston University representatives presented their concepts for the development of the Commonwealth Ave. area between Mountfort and the Charles River. The plans involve changes to Mountfort St. and the development of two air-rights parcels over the Mass. Turnpike. They also include the proposed removal of the B.U. Academy in order to provide better access to the river. In addition, the University is proposing coordinating these physical changes with the proposed Urban Ring circumferential transit system under development by the Executive Office of Transportation and Public Works.
