  • 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.

To the Honorable Senate and House of Representatives in General Court' Assembled: The Division of Metropolitan Planning herewith respectfully submits its annual report for the year ending November 30, 1934. Special Reports In accordance with instructions from the General Court, this Division has been engaged this year in the investigation and preparation of reports on the following matters having to do with proposed rapid transit extensions or im- provements in the District. 1. Removal of the Washington Street Elevated Structure in Boston, Rox- bury and West Roxbury and substitution therefor of a subway in accordance with Chapter 36 of the Resolves of 1933. This resolve called for a joint report by the Metropolitan Planning Division and the Boston Transit Department. 2. Advisibility of extending the Cambridge Subway to Arlington and the rapid transit system from Lechmere Square in Cambridge to Arlington in accordance with Chapter 22 of the Resolves of 1934. 3. Advisability of extending the rapid transit system in the city of Boston from Forest Hills Station to Spring St. or the Dedham line in accordance with Chapter 40 of the Resolves of 1934. These reports must be filed early in December of 1934. In none of these re- ports is the Division making definite recommendations but we feel that a sin- cere effort must be made to provide for the future financing of desirable and needed rapid transit extensions or improvements and therefore we are filing a bill providing for the setting up of a fund which will accumulate for this purpose and make such improvements possible without the burden of long- term bond issues.

  • Chapter 4: Regionwide Needs Assessment
    REGIONWIDE 4 NEEDS ASSESSMENT INTRODUCTION A critical early step in developing the LRTP is to gather, organize, and analyze available sources of data about the transportation system. This allows the MPO to understand the many needs that exist for all transportation modes. After analyzing data included in the Web-based Needs Assessment described in Chapter 1, it is clear that the region has extensive maintenance and modernization requirements, including the need to address safety and mobility for all modes. MPO staff estimates that these needs likely would exceed the region’s anticipated financial resources between now and 2040. Therefore, the MPO must prioritize the region’s needs in order to guide investment decisions. This chapter provides an overview of the MPO region’s transportation needs for the next twenty-five years. The information in this chapter has been organized according to the LRTP’s goals—which are used to evaluate projects in the Universe of Projects List both for scenario planning, and then project selection for the recommended LRTP. The LRTP’s goals are related to: • Safety • System Preservation • Capacity Management and Mobility • Clean Air and Clean Communities • Transportation Equity • Economic Vitality Information in each goal-based section of this chapter falls into these general categories: • The goals and related objectives • Background information for each goal • The policy context that surrounds each goal, which includes: 1. Initiatives and directives that shape the goal and related needs. Detailed information about each of the policies is included in Appendix A. 2. Relevant studies, reports, and documents that help the MPO understand the region’s transportation needs.
