CHAPTER 2 Progress Since the Last PMT
CHAPTER 2 Progress Since the Last PMT The 2003 PMT outlined the actions needed to bring the MBTA transit system into a state of good repair (SGR). It evaluated and prioritized a number of specific enhancement and expansion projects proposed to improve the system and better serve the regional mobility needs of Commonwealth residents. In the inter- vening years, the MBTA has funded and implemented many of the 2003 PMT priorities. The transit improvements highlighted in this chapter have been accomplished in spite of the unsus- tainable condition of the Authority’s present financial structure. A 2009 report issued by the MBTA Advisory Board1 effectively summarized the Authority’s financial dilemma: For the past several years the MBTA has only balanced its budgets by restructuring debt liquidat- ing cash reserves, selling land, and other one-time actions. Today, with credit markets frozen, cash reserves depleted and the real estate market at a stand still, the MBTA has used up these options. This recession has laid bare the fact that the MBTA is mired in a structural, on-going deficit that threatens its viability. In 2000 the MBTA was re-born with the passage of the Forward Funding legislation.This legislation dedicated 20% of all sales taxes collected state-wide to the MBTA. It also transferred over $3.3 billion in Commonwealth debt from the State’s books to the T’s books. In essence, the MBTA was born broke. Throughout the 1990’s the Massachusetts sales tax grew at an average of 6.5% per year. This decade the sales tax has barely averaged 1% annual growth.

Chapter 2 Arsenal Street Corridor Study: Existing Conditions
2 Existing Conditions This chapter provides an assessment of Existing Conditions within the study area. Sections of this chapter present demographics, environmental resources, land use and economic development, a multimodal transportation assessment, and a summary of the transportation infrastructure deficiencies and needs as of winter 2016. Land Use The Local Study Area contains nearly 1,820 separate parcels comprising approximately 442 acres of land. There is nearly 9.2 million square feet of development in this Corridor, containing a mix of residential, commercial, retail and other uses, as shown in Figure 2-1. The assessed value (2015) of these properties equates to approximately $1.6 billion. A detailed land use evaluation (including expanded information on the data above) is included in the Appendix and key takeaways from the analysis include: Retail developments comprise approximately 1.13 million square feet of the parcels fronting Arsenal Street. The retail uses in the frontage parcels account for approximately 88 percent of all retail development in the Local Study Area, likely reflecting favorable traffic and location characteristics of Arsenal Street. The average assessed value (per square foot) of retail properties is similar between the Frontage Parcels and the Local Study Area. Industrial parcels with Arsenal Street frontage comprise 251,200 square feet and are primarily warehouse space. By comparison, there is more than 1.35 million square feet of industrial space throughout the Local Study Area, perhaps reflecting a lesser desirability for these uses (or a stronger desirability for other industrial uses) on Arsenal Street or a lack of suitable land (sites) for development.

Saunders Tim Czerwienski, Project Manager Tim Ian Mitchell Boston Planning & Development Agency Co-Chairs One City Hall Square Janine Commerford Boston, MA 02201-1007 Greg Galer John Hemenway Subject: One Kenmore Square Hotel Draft Project Impact Report (DPIR) Peter Shilland Amelia Croteau Comments Kaira Fox Aaron Michlewitz Dear Mr. Czerwienski: Angie Liou Ed Flynn Christopher Cook Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the One Kenmore Square Hotel Draft Project Impact Report (DPIR) located in the Fenway. The Executive Director Boston Groundwater Trust was established by the Boston City Council Christian Simonelli to monitor groundwater levels in sections of Boston where the integrity of building foundations is threatened by low groundwater levels and to make recommendations for solving the problem. Therefore, my comments are limited to groundwater related issues. Although the Project is not located in the Groundwater Conservation Overlay District (GCOD) established under Article 32 of the Zoning Code, the document states that the Project will comply with the standard to the maximum extent practicable. Compliance with the GCOD requires both the installation of a recharge system and a demonstration that the project cannot cause a reduction in groundwater levels on site or on adjoining lots. As stated in the document the Project Area is not located within the GCOD however, it is immediately adjacent to the GCOD boundary. There are a number of piling supported buildings in the immediate vicinity of this boundary.
