  • An Implementation Plan for a Public Market in Boston
    An Implementation Plan for a Public Market in Boston May 2011 Submitted to: Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources Submitted by: Project for Public Spaces 700 Broadway, 4th Floor New York, NY 10003 May 2011 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS Executive Summary 4 Consumer Demand 10 Vendor and Product Availability 16 Public Market Design, Merchandising and Access 24 Market Oversight and Management Structure 36 Operator Capabilities 42 Start Up Financial Requirements and Sources 46 Start Up Operation Requirement and Procedures 52 Ongoing Operational Costs 58 Conclusion 64 2 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Boston has a long history of public markets – at one time the city boasted a series of markets to serve its citizenry and visitors. As in most cities, Boston’s indoor public markets fell victim to ‘modernization’ and they all closed, with the exception of the revamped physical structures of Quincy Market and Faneuil Hall which were converted to ‘festival markets’ having little connection to Massachusetts’s producers, farms and fisheries. As the tradition of the public market makes a well-deserved reappearance into the everyday life of American cities, Boston – with its burgeoning popularity of outdoor farmers markets - is well positioned to be the next great market success story. Moreover, a new public market has the potential to strengthen Massachusetts’s agricultural economic base by providing farmers, fisheries and producers of value added products a new and significant outlet for their products. The proposed market also has the potential to save small family farms from going out of business, thus strengthening the communities from which these farms and businesses are based.

  • East Boston EMS Coverage Supersedes: 01-26-97 Effective: 04-12-04
    East Boston EMS Coverage Supersedes: 01-26-97 Effective: 04-12-04 The fact that the neighborhood of East Boston is physically separated from Boston proper poses some unique challenges to Boston EMS in our effort to provide the highest level of prehospital care for all residents and visitors of our city. 1. Keeping in mind the relative limited accessibility of East Boston, the Dispatch Operations Supervisor (or above) may authorize Ambulance 7, the primary BLS unit normally assigned to East Boston, to be reposted to the “Boston Side” to enhance system wide coverage. Given the ongoing construction and associated traffic pattern reconfigurations associated with the Central Artery and Tunnel (“Big Dig”) project, developing a standard set of conditions to guide this decision is impractical. Like all other unit deployment decisions, factors such as call volume, unit availability, and access / egress options should be taken into account. 1.1. After clearing a response or other assignment on the “Boston side”, Ambulance 7 may be used for a response on the Boston side without prior supervisor approval if their response time to the scene would be less than another BLS unit. 2. Whenever Ambulance 7 is unavailable for a response, another BLS unit should be reposted for East Boston coverage whenever possible. 2.1. Ambulance 8, the designated zone impact unit for Haymarket Square / East Boston, should normally repost to the East Boston side of the Callahan Tunnel unless they are unavailable or otherwise re-posted (e.g.: Charlestown 23:00---01:45). 2.2. When both A7 and A8 are unavailable, an available “extra” BLS unit (A-30, A-31 if in service) should be reposted to the East Boston side of the Callahan tunnel for East Boston coverage.

Thirty years later, the aptly named Central Artery was fully reallzed and carried about 75,000 vehicles a day between the Charles River and the southern side of the city. By the 1980s, however, the Central Artery had already become obsolete, with more than 150,000 vehicles traversing the six- lane thoroughfare each day. Faced with dire traffic predictions for the near future, Boston’s city planners went back to the drawing board. This time, instead of a highway in the sky, as the artery was sometimes called, the planners envisioned a vast system of tunnels beneath the city-a system so A B C Contract: A Contract: C09 A4 C C15 A1 Owner: Owner: J.F.White - Slattery - Interbeton - Perini J.V.
