  • Part 5 • Resource Protection Mission
    Open Space Plan 2008-2014 Section 7 Analysis of Needs Section 7.1.2 Resource Protection HARBOR OPEN SPACE Section 7 Analysis of Needs Section 7.1.2: Resource Protection HARBOR OPEN SPACE INTRODUCTION: A PLANNING FRAMEWORK This chapter presents a planning framework that has been designed to guide the continuing revitalization of Boston Harbor’s open space and Harborwalk systems. In keeping with the intent of this Open Space Plan, it recommends the enhancement of existing open space facilities while identifying opportunities to be realized by future programs and projects along the shoreline and on the islands. The framework builds on and extends the work of public agencies, including the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA), the Boston Conservation Commission (BCC), the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MADEP), the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), and the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport), as well as non-profit organizations and waterfront property owners, in an effort to promote and provide public access to waterfront open space. The proposed framework reflects the larger vision of the City to share equitably among all the city’s residents the resources of the harbor for recreational as well as economic benefits. Boston Harbor’s clean-up project has fostered a resurgence in water- related activities and a desire for broad public access to the water’s edge. Boston’s municipal harbor planning efforts, the product of a decade-long community-based effort by the city, articulates this vision through four comprehensive planning policies: • Universal access to opportunities on the harbor; • Year-round activation of the waterfront through public, cultural, and water-dependent uses; • Enhancement of maritime activities; and • Growth that is appropriately designed and brings vitality.

Ryan. Three scenarios for the Boston Public Library’s twenty-six branches were presented and discussed. Following the discussion, BPL President Amy E. Ryan en- dorsed Option 2, the plan that closes four branches and maintains library hours. “The Boston Public Library needs to save money, stabilize and begin to move forward,” said BPL President Amy E. Ryan. “Keeping twenty-two branches open is the most prudent option. It preserves as many branches as possible, permits us to fill critical vacancies and allows us to explore partnerships.” These were the three options discussed: Option 1: All twenty-six branches remain open, eight lead libraries (plus Central Library in Copley Square) maintain existing hours of operation, eighteen branches paired and hours reduced.

FERGUSON NEW YORK Privately Printed 1925 TO THE MEMORY OF THE SUC­ CESSIVE OWNERS, FROM JOHN WINTHROP, JR., TO THE AUTHOR'S FATHER, WALTON FERGUSON, THIS HISTORY OF FISHERS ISLAND IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED FOREWORD IT has been said that a good book needs no preface. This short history, however, must have one, for the author does not pretend to be either writer or historian and possibly mistakes have crept in, for which he wishes to apologize. Like most historical records, this could necessarily be little more than a rearrangement of the words set down by those who have gone before. The search for these has carried the author far, but among the more important sources from which information has been derived are the works listed below. In the interests of simplicity and an easier page to read, footnotes and specific credit refer­ ences have been omitted from the text. To the writers and publishers of the following, however, the author gratefully acknowledges his indebtedness, as well as to Mrs. Fay Fox Shiland, Mrs. Mary Smith (nee Win­ throp), Mr~ Deane Winthrop Pratt, Mr. Frederick Winthrop, and The New London County Historical Society.

    Exhibit GR-10 Open Space Plan 2008-2014 Section 7 Analysis of Needs Section 7.2.6 Community Open Space & Recreation EAST BOSTON Section 7 Needs Analysis Section 7.2.6: Community Open Space & Recreation EAST BOSTON THE SETTING History Originally a five-island group, East Boston was connected to Boston with the establishment of the first ferry in 1637. In the 1833, William Sumner established the East Boston Company to develop this area as one of the first planned communities in Boston. From 1840 to 1865, East Boston began to expand rapidly, becoming a major site for the construction of world-famous clipper ships by well known builders such as Donald McKay and Samuel Hall. Thus, East Boston became a significant transportation center and shipping port. Attracting a large number of immigrants seeking employment in the shipbuilding industry, its population began to grow dramatically. With the Cunard Line establishing a port of entry in the Maverick Square area by 1839, East Boston became the Ellis Island of New England. In 1905, the first subway tunnel to downtown was opened. The development of Logan Airport in 1923, the Sumner Tunnel in 1934, and other transportation related projects severely impacted the neighborhood. Local industrial facilities began to decline in favor of airport related development and many families left for the suburbs. Today, despite such pressures, East Boston has stabilized as a neighborhood and in the recent years has had many new investments geared toward public facilities. The third harbor tunnel (aka Ted Williams Tunnel) has helped reduce airport bound traffic on residential streets.
