Roxbury Preparatory Charter High School Public Comments Via Website from 03‐29‐2019 Roxbury Preparatory Charter High School Public Comments via website from 03‐29‐2019 Comment: Created Date First Name Last Name Organization Opinion Comments 3/28/2019 Allison Friedmann Support I support Roxbury Prep building a high school in Roslindale. All the city's kids are ours and deserve a beautiful building and great location in order to get a great education. They are our future. So a small inconvenience like less parking and more traffic is well worth it. 3/28/2019 Amy Gitlin Support I support Roxbury Prep?s high school project proposed at 361 Belgrade Ave. in Roslindale. The school has gone above and beyond responding to community feedback. By reducing the size of the student body and square footage of the building, they have addressed two of the most common concerns about this project?size and congestion. The location at 361 Belgrade will give these students the facility they deserve with easy transportation access via the Commuter Rail and multiple bus lines. This new school will be an asset to both the students and the community. 3/28/2019 Talya Sokoll Support I support Roxbury Prep?s high school project proposed at 361 Belgrade Ave. in Roslindale.

I live right around the corner and I am fully in support of this project. 3/28/2019 Shuntara Baker‐Brown Parent Support My son and all the students, faculty and staff deserve a school, in a wonderful, central location, to be part of the Boston community, cultural and a would make a wonderful addition to the west Roxbury neighborhood. Roxbury prep students are trained to succeed, act accordingly and help in the community. Please help the Roxbury Prep community with their future school. Page 1 of 322 Roxbury Preparatory Charter High School Public Comments via website from 03‐29‐2019 3/28/2019 Sardhis Ortiz Support This is a wonderful opportunity.. let?s have a better place to foster better education for our students! 3/28/2019 Todd Wyner Oppose I do not support because: 1. School would be dangerously close to commuter rail stop which experiences fatal train strike of teenage boy in 2008 2. Adjacent West Roxbury Parkway bridge is in disrepair and should be considered before school breaks ground 3. Over abundance of other neighboring multi unit residential construction will potentially gridlock the Belgrade and West Roxbury Parkway area. 4. School?s design will essentially hold students hostage all day due to a lack of school owned recreational property. 5. Reliability of commuter rail is a concern irrespective of the reverse commute proponents espouse. Belleview is a small uncontrolled rail stop and is unsuitable for dramatic upticks in volume. Furthermore insufficient numbers of coach cars in the Needham line plague all weekday trips but particularly morning and evening rush hours. 3/28/2019 Erik Johnson Mr. Support As a neighbor to this project, I support Roxbury Prep?s high school project proposed at 361 Belgrade Ave. in Roslindale.

Page 2 of 322 Roxbury Preparatory Charter High School Public Comments via website from 03‐29‐2019 3/28/2019 catherine kelley nearby resident Support I support Roxbury Prep's high school proposed facility at 361 Belgrade Ave, Roslindale. I think it would be good to have this high school, now that it has been made a little smaller footage and with less students. It would be good to have a high school in the neighborhood. That area of Belgrade Ave is in need of new development. As there is a new condo development close by, more housing is not needed. Roxbury Prep staff and architects have listened to neighbors' concerns and made appropriate changes. The location at 361 Belgrade will give these students the facility they deserve with easy transportation access via the Commuter Rail and multiple bus lines. 3/28/2019 Ava Delevante Ms. Support I wholeheartedly support Roxbury Prep?s high school project proposed at 361 Belgrade Ave. in Roslindale. The school has gone above and beyond responding to community feedback.

Ava Delevante‐Atkinson 3/28/2019 Meredith flannery Year Support This is a good idea and positive for Roslindale and the current and future students. We support education, period. I hope this goes through. 3/28/2019 Donna Taylor Support I left Massachusetts before the school was built. My grandson went to the Dorchester Campus and we were satisfied with the school. 3/28/2019 Lisnarda Chalas Roxbury Prep Charter School Support Is going to be very convenience for my son, just because on my side my son he can be more near home when I am working.

All students have the right to have a single campus for 9‐12 graders where they can receive an excellent education, learning and growing together as one community.

  • Report of the Board of Metropolitan Park Commissioners (1898)
    A Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2013 http://archive.org/details/reportofboardofm00mass_4 PUBLIC DOCUMENT No. 48. REPORT ~ Board of Metropolitan Park Commissioners. J^ANUARY, 1899. BOSTON : W RIGHT & POTTER PRINTING CO., STATE PRINTERS, 18 Post Office Square. 1899. A CONTENTS. PAGE Report of the Commissioners, 5 Report of the Secretary, 18 Report of the Landscape Architects, 47 Report of the Engineer, 64 Financial Statement, . 86 Analysis of Payments, 99 Claims (chapter 366 of the Acts of 1898), 118 KEPOKT. The Metropolitan Park Commission presents herewith its sixth annual report. At the presentation of its last report the Board was preparing to continue the acquirement of the banks of Charles River, and was engaged in the investigation of avail- able shore frontages and of certain proposed boulevards. Towards the close of its last session the Legislature made an appropriation of $1,000,000 as an addition to the Metropolitan Parks Loan, but further takings were de- layed until the uncertainties of war were clearly passed. Acquirements of land and restrictions have been made or provided for however along Charles River as far as Hemlock Gorge, so that the banks for 19 miles, except where occu- pied by great manufacturing concerns, are in the control either of this Board or of some other public or quasi public body. A noble gift of about 700 acres of woods and beau- tiful intervales south of Blue Hills and almost surroundingr Ponkapog Pond has been accepted under the will of the late ' Henry L. Pierce. A field in Cambridge at the rear of « Elm- wood," bought as a memorial to James Russell Lowell, has been transferred to the care of this Board, one-third of the purchase price having been paid by the Commonwealth and the remaining two-thirds by popular subscription, and will be available if desired as part of a parkway from Charles River to Fresh Pond.

  • West Roxbury), MA
    RECONASSANCE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY Allandale Woods Park Boston (West Roxbury), MA Prepared for Boston Parks and Recreation Department City of Boston Prepared by Joseph Bagley City Archaeologist Boston Landmarks Commission Environment Department City of Boston Introduction Allandale Woods is an 86-acre Urban Wild Park located in the Boston neighborhoods of Jamaica Plain and West Roxbury (figure 1). In the summer of 2014, a walkover survey was conducted covering the entirety of the park with the goal of producing sensitivity maps that will aid the Boston Parks and Recreation in avoiding or mitigating impacts to known or potential archaeological sites within the park in future improvement projects. Brief Park History (The following section is a summary of the work of Richard Heath and Richard Primack, no date, attached to this report as appendix A) No Native American cultural materials have been found within the Allandale Woods. Just east of the property, within the Arnold Arboretum, there are over a dozen Native archaeological sites ranging in age from 7,500-400 years in age in topography that resembles that of the Allandale Woods. The Park began as a small portion of the massive estate of Thomas and Joseph Weld, who arrived in Roxbury in 1632. At this time, the property was used as farmland. After passing through several generations, a portion of the Weld estate was sold to Thomas Williams in 1806 who built a farm with several outbuildings in the southern portion of the park near the present-day Annunciation Church (Figure 2). In 1864, 20 acres in the eastern portion of the current park was sold to Henry Wellington near where Centre and Allandale Streets intersect.

The Metropolitan Park Commission presents herewith its fifth annual report. The principal new work of the past year has been the development of Revere Beach, the preparation of plans for the acquirement of the shores of Charles River from Water- town to Newton Upper Falls and the completion of Mystic Valley Parkway. Construction of the Blue Hills and Mid- dlesex Fells Parkways has been continued, and much study and investigation has been made preliminary to the expendi- ture of the appropriations for parkways made by the Legis- lature of 1897. This work divides itself naturally, and will be considered as usual, according as it has been done under the Park Acts or under the Boulevard Acts. A preliminary commission reported to the Legislature of 1893 a scheme for park and parkway or boulevard work, based chiefly on the accompanying report of its landscape architect, Mr. Charles Eliot. In this report Mr. Eliot described the country about Boston as possessed of unusual wealth of scenery, but ill adapted for indiscriminate crowd- ing by large population, and argued that there was a special necessity for regulating its settlement by excluding popula- tion from certain portions and by reserving other portions for the sake of the scenery or as recreation grounds.
