Hart, Principal Re: Traffic Impact and Access Memorandum Matthew Duranleau, EIT Proposed Recreational Marijuana Dispensary 232 Boylston Street Newton, Massachusetts VHB has conducted a traffic assessment to determine the suitability and potential impacts of a recreational marijuana dispensary (the Project) at 232 Boylston Street (Route 9) in Newton, Massachusetts (the Site). Specifically, the Project involves the conversion of an existing jewelry store into a recreational marijuana dispensary. This memorandum includes an evaluation of the existing traffic operations and safety; assessment of future conditions without the Project; an estimate of projected traffic volumes for the Project; and its potential impact on future traffic operations in the area. Site Location and Proposed Development The Site is located at 232 Boylston Street (Route 9) in Newton, Massachusetts. The Site currently includes one building of approximately 5,484 square feet (sf) formerly occupied by the Shreve, Crump & Low jewelry store. The Project includes renovations to the building that will reduce the gross square footage of the proposed recreational marijuana dispensary to approximately 4,825 sf. The Site is located adjacent to the Capital Grille restaurant to the west and the mixed-use Chestnut Hill Square development to the east and south and is connected internally to these two parcels via a driveway on the south side of the Site. Under Existing conditions, the Site is accessed via an entrance-only driveway to the west of the building on Route 9 eastbound that is shared with the Capital Grille, as well as a full-access driveway to the east that is shared with Chestnut Hill Square.

    ROXBURY ALLSTON KENMORE SQUARE BROOKLINE VILLAGE SOUTH END BRIGHTON COOLIDGE CORNER DORCHESTER MATTAPAN JAMAICA PLAIN Introduction Dear Gators, Pine Manor College is dedicated to providing students with the necessary information and tools to success- fully reside in off-campus accommodations. In supporting our students in the off-campus environment, the Office of Residence Life has developed an Off-Campus Living Guide. This Off-Campus Living Guide outlines the steps and resources to help you have a good off campus living experience. Utilize this guide to answer your off-campus housing questions, learn about the City of Boston resources, and understand your rights and responsibilities as an off-campus resident. We recognize there are some strategies you can use to be successful in your experience living off campus, so we have provided some tangible checklists and forms to use as you create your own unique off campus living experience. You will find that living off-campus is a very different kind of experience from living in a college residence hall. Unlike the residence halls, the neighborhoods surrounding Boston are full of people whose lifestyles, schedules, and living arrangements may vary greatly from yours. We want students to be successful and thrive in their off-campus living situation. We hope that this guide will serve as a resource for you and helps you to build the skills and knowledge to be a good renter, roommate, neighbor, and community member. Office of Residence Life Disclaimer: This guide is intended for general informational purposes only. Pine Manor College does not recommend or endorse any landlords, tenants, rental facilities or companies in any way.
