Report of the Technical Assistance Panel Conducted for Cleveland Circle & the Reservoir MBTA Station Brookline & Boston, Massachusetts Report of the Technical Assistance Panel Conducted for Cleveland Circle & The Reservoir MBTA Station Brookline & Boston, Massachusetts The Urban Land Institute Boston District Council October 2009 Cleveland Circle/Reservoir Station TAP Contents 1. Introduction 1. Introduction 1 In October 2009, a Technical Assistance Panel representing the Urban Land Institute’s Boston 2. Existing Conditions 5 District Council gathered at the request of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority 3. Issues 12 (“MBTA”) to study the development potential of the MBTA property at Reservoir Station and the 4. Opportunities 15 adjacent MBTA maintenance facility, located mostly in the Town of Brookline and partially in the 5. Alternatives 16 City of Boston. This report describes the findings and recommendations of the panel. Specifically, 6. Recommendations 18 this report outlines the TAP process; describes the existing conditions; summarizes critical issues, opportunities and alternatives; and concludes with the recommendations of the panel. The panel determined that the development potential of the site could not be adequately considered without examining larger issues associated with its context. Therefore, the panel studied issues and opportunities associated with a study area larger than the MBTA site. For the purposes of this report, “the site” refers to the MBTA property and “the study area” refers to Cleveland Circle and surrounding neighborhoods. Furthermore, the panel believes that jurisdictional boundaries and intergovernmental cooperation play a critical role in any development within the study area. Because of the stake that the City of Boston and the Town of Brookline have in the future of the site and the study area, the panel’s recommendations are directed as much to Boston and Brookline as to the MBTA. 1 Cleveland Circle/Reservoir Station TAP The Urban Land Institute Cleveland Circle & Reservoir Station TAP The Urban Land Institute (“ULI”) is a 501(c)(3) In July 2009, the MBTA applied to ULI Boston for nonprofit research and education organization a TAP to focus on the property it owns at supported by more than 40,000 members Reservoir Station on the D-Branch of the Green representing the entire spectrum of land use and Line and the adjacent maintenance facility.

  • 375-399 Chestnut Hill Avenue
    375-399 Chestnut Hill Avenue Brookline Planning Department Submission June 10th 2014 Project Overview: Boston Development Group proposes to redevelop the property located at 375 – 399 Chestnut Hill Ave. The project site lies partially in Brookline and partially in the City of Boston, whereby approximately 18,176sf are in Brookline and the remaining 92,853sf in Boston. As such the project complies with both Brookline and Boston zoning. The proposed development has evolved substantially through extensive planning and design involvement by the Boston Redevelopment Authority and a Brookline Design Advisory Team implemented by the Brookline Planning Board as well as significant input from community members in Boston and Brookline. The result is a mixed-use development that includes residential, hotel, and retail uses. The density and scale of the project has been carefully considered to minimize development impacts on the community while offering a vibrant new face to Cleveland Circle. The proposed development will include both subsurface garage parking as well as surface parking. The principal members of the design and permitting team include: Architect: ADD Inc. Landscape Architect: Halverson Design Partnership Traffic Engineer: Howard/Stein-Hudson Associates, Inc. Brookline Permitting Counsel: Holland & Knight Existing Conditions The existing site totals approximately 2.56 acres on 2 parcels on the south side of Chestnut Hill Ave and adjacent to Cleveland Circle. The first parcel is home to the former Circle Cinema movie theater and is owned by National Amusements Inc. The Circle Cinema parcel has two addresses: 375 Chestnut Hill Avenue in Boston and 399 Chestnut Hill Avenue in Brookline. The Cinema was closed in 2008.

    BSRA Entertainment Report for March 5, 2016 LONG FORM (for historical record) Entertainment Report for March 5, 2016 March 5, 2016. The T, Then and Now. Henry Marrec made silent color Super 8 mm movies of MBTA operations in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and in the Blizzards of 1978. Now on two DVDs produced in August 2010 with narration that he added himself, he showed this footage, along with footage taken in High Definition Video with sound in 2008 and 2010, and some bonus still photos of the original Red Line cars, and some bonus silent movie footage of New York City elevated operations. Part 1 of the first DVD started in 1967 with narrated Super 8 mm footage featuring MBTA Green PCCs running on the elevated structure from Lechmere through North Station, by Boston Garden. A fair amount of this footage and some of the following segments presented the view looking out the back window, which is something that is no longer possible (barring a rear cab ride or an errant open cab door) ever since the PCCs disappeared except on the Mattapan High-Speed Line. (For that matter, this is no longer possible even on buses ever since the last GM New Look -- or "Fishbowl" -- buses disappeared.) The next footage was Beacon Street outbound to Cleveland Circle. Footage included All-Electrics and Wartime PCCs at Cleveland Circle/ Reservoir in its old configuration. After a brief jaunt on Commonwealth Avenue, the next stop was Watertown Yard, showing several work equipment units that are now long gone, chiefly dump and crane cars, as well as PCCs turning around for revenue service, PCCs were still evident in Watertown Yard through August 1969, and this footage showed some of the last revenue service out of Watertown.
