  • 2017 Downtown Waterfront District Municipal Harbor Plan & Public
    2017 Downtown Waterfront District Municipal Harbor Plan & Public Realm Activation Plan Supplement - February 16, 2018 Harbor Garage and New England Aquarium Throughout the Downtown Waterfront planning process and the state’s consultation sessions protections and assurances for the New England Aquarium’s ongoing operations and financial viability have been a priority. Not only sustaining but enhancing the Aquarium’s mission has been a focus, as it serves as a premier civic and cultural water- dependent use in Boston Harbor which activates the Downtown Waterfront district year- round. The Aquarium’s Blueway vision to improve site conditions around Central Wharf and create better connections to the Aquarium and harbor, are objectives the MHP looks to facilitate. The Downtown Waterfront MHP addressed the promotion of the Aquarium’s interests through an amplification for the Activation of Commonwealth Tidelands for Public Use (310 CMR 9.53(2)(b) and 310 CMR 9.53(2)(c)). The amplification requires the execution of a memorandum of understanding (MOU), or other mutually agreed upon binding agreement, between the City of Boston, the Aquarium and the project proponent of the Harbor Garage to address reasonable compensation for any construction-related Aquarium visitor and event revenue losses and other matters of mutual long range interest. During the state’s consultation session several priorities have been specified by the Aquarium as necessary for the ongoing viability of the institution during and after the construction of the Harbor Garage site. The primary issues to be addressed in the MOU include provisions for visitor parking and access to the Aquarium, and financial assurances against possible loss of revenue due to reduced visitation resulting from construction related disruptions associated with the development of the Harbor Garage site.
