  • Cultural Resources Inventory
    Town of Saugus Historical Commission Town Hall 298 Central Street Saugus, MA 01906 CULTURAL RESOURCES INVENTORY Updated: May 2012 The Town of Saugus contains hundreds of sites and structures having architectural, archeological, or historical significance. At the present time, five properties are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, two of which have been designated as National Historic Landmarks (NHL) by the Secretary of the Interior. National Register Properties: Boardman House (NHL, 10/15/1966) Breakheart Reservation Parkways (8/11/2003) Lynn Fells Parkway (5/9/2003) Saugus Iron Works (NHL, 10/15/1966) Saugus Town Hall (6/20/1985) The Commission completed an Inventory of Cultural and Historical Resources in 1986. This inventory was largely confined to resources that were at least 50 years old, and did not include many additional resources reflecting the growth of the Town since World War II. The results of this inventory have been entered into the Massachusetts Historical Commission’s MACRIS database. With a few exceptions, the inventory forms, along with inventory records created by other federal and state agencies, are available for downloading from the MACRIS site (http://mhc-macris.net/). The following listing is in two parts. The first lists properties included in the MACRIS database, while the second shows those properties which the Commission has identified for potential inclusion in the inventory. This includes both older properties not included in the previous inventory and those which have achieved the 50 year age criteria since the initial survey was done. It should be noted that the list of potential additions will expand as individual properties within areas are inventoried or miscellaneous residential properties are identified as being significant either as architecture or association.

    June 1, 2021 VIA EMAIL Jamey Tesler, MassDOT CEO and Secretary 10 Park Plaza, Suite 4160 Boston, MA 02116 Steven Poftak, MBTA General Manager 10 Park Plaza, Suite 3910 Boston, MA 02116 Kenneth Green, Chief of MBTA Police 240 Southampton Street Boston, MA 02118 Re: Black Lives Matter Protests Reveal Alarming Lack of Policies Guiding MBTA Shut-Down Procedures Dear Secretary Tesler, Mr. Poftak, and Chief Green: Lawyers for Civil Rights (LCR) has been investigating the basis for the May 31, 2020 decision by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) and MBTA Transit Police Department (TPD) to shut down service to dozens of train stations following the Black Lives Matter protest that evening. The extensive shut-down—a first since the system-wide MBTA closure during the 2013 Marathon bombing manhunt—effectively stranded hundreds of people throughout downtown Boston, where heavily-armed police officers were using tear gas and other violent methods to disperse the crowd. Our investigation of MBTA’s May 31, 2020 shutdown has revealed a number of troubling issues, including that MBTA has a complete lack of formal policies, procedures, or other written guidance pertaining to the suspension of public transportation services for any other reason other than weather or maintenance. LCR is deeply concerned that MBTA’s lack of plan or policy leads to unlawful ad-hoc decisions without consideration of the legal and practical consequences of suspending transportation services—including preventing egress from dangerous situations and contributing to an escalation of tensions and risk of bodily harm to the public. Such ad-hoc, discretionary decision-making frequently has a disproportionate impact on communities of color.

  • Lynn Fells Parkway and Melrose Street
    To: Department of Conservation and Recreation From: Melrose Pedestrian and Bicyclist Committee Re: Lynn Fells Parkway and Melrose Street Date: December 9, 2020 Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation: The Melrose Pedestrian and Bicyclist Committee (PBC) is a volunteer group of Melrose residents who collaborate with residents, City staff, and Elected Officials, to advocate for safer streets and public space in the City of Melrose, with a special emphasis on walking, bicycling, and accessing transit. Our members represent a broad cross section of residents from all walks of life, and include professional engineers, planners, architects, and others with a skillset that allows our group to provide technical recommendations to the City, typically aligned with existing and proposed State and local funding opportunities, including MassDOT’s Complete Streets, Shared Streets and Spaces, and Safe Routes to School grant programs. In 2017, the PBC developed a North-South Bike Route and Pedestrian Safety Improvement Plan with specific recommendations for Main Street, to be implemented as part of a MassDOT Complete Streets project. The concept plan (see attachment) depicts the northern segment of these recommendations, which overlap with Lynn Fells Parkway, and the intersection of Melrose Street that is the topic of DCR’s upcoming public meeting. While the City implemented many of the recommendations we made, our plan through this section of Main Street includes several changes to DCR-controlled right-of-way and signals along Lynn Fells
