  • Fairmount Line Feasibility Study
    Fairmount Line Feasibility Study Final Report Executive Summary Wednesday October 16, 2002 Prepared for Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority Planning Department Prepared by KKO and Associates, L.L.C. Two Dundee Park Andover, Massachusetts 01810 with HNTB Companies 1762 Massachusetts Avenue Lexington, Massachusetts 02173 Fairmount Line Feasibility Study Final Report Introduction Public transportation is a critical for mobility in Boston. The MBTA offers subway, bus, ferry, and commuter rail service to Boston and Eastern Massachusetts to provide options to personal automobile use, reducing highway congestion, improving air quality and reducing energy consumption. The MBTA Fairmount Commuter Rail Line passes through some of the most densely populated neighborhoods in the region, yet residents seldom use the line for travel. Instead, Fairmount corridor residents tend to use the overcrowded bus and rapid transit network to travel to downtown Boston. This report documents the methods and findings of a 14 month planning study to investigate strategies that would increase the attractiveness and utility of MBTA services on this under utilized line. History The Boston and New York Central Railroad (B&NYC) initially opened the Fairmount Line as the “Midland Railroad” in January of 1855. Within six months, the Town of Dorchester filed injunction halting the trains until the railroad removed all grade crossings in Dorchester. Service resumed in 1856. Passenger service on the line ran uninterrupted for the next 88 years under various corporate entities. Competition from other modes of transit reduced ridership. Passenger service on the line was abandoned in 1944, but the line remained open for freight operations. In 1979 the MBTA restored passenger service on the line, when construction along the Southwest Corridor necessitated rerouting trains destined for South Station through Dorchester.

  • Dedham and Westwood Bicycle and Pedestrian Network Plan
    Dedham and Westwood Bicycle and Pedestrian Network Plan April 2013 7/18/12 Dedham and Westwood Bicycle and Pedestrian Network Plan MAPC is assisting several groups of communities in advancing pedestrian and bicycle planning as part of the Sustainable Communities program. The primary goal of this effort is twofold. 1) Develop a bicycle and pedestrian network plan and 2) begin to institutionalize the implementation of pedestrian and bicycle accommodation at the local level in all projects. As part of this planning effort, existing conditions and potential opportunities have been identified for each municipality. This planning effort identifies connections and routes for each of the community clusters, including proposed bicycle and pedestrian accommodations, cross-sections for the major collector roads in the community. The proposed accommodations include: exclusive bicycle lanes, shared lane markings, new sidewalks or walkways, improved surface conditions, and identification of key barriers. At the conclusion of the planning effort, it will be the responsibility of the individual municipalities to implement the recommendations. Data The 2010 Census American Community Survey compiles commute to work mode share statistics over a 5 year period. The results are summarized for Dedham and Westwood and compared with regional data in Table 1 below. Note that the ACS survey is given to less than 15% of all households over a five year period. Therefore margins of error, especially for lower numbers may be significant. This data does not include

D C 20~9C Federal Railroad Administration The Honorable Trudy Coxe February 15, 1995 Secretary Executive Office of Environmental Affairs The Commonwealth of Massachusetts 100 Cambridge Street Boston, Massachusetts, 02202 Re: Northeast Corridor Electrification EIR Dear Secretary Coxe: On November 10, 1994, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) provided you with a copy of the final environmental impact statement and final environmental impact report (FEIR) on the proposal by the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) to extend intercity electric train operation from New Haven, cr to Boston, MA. In due course, the MEPA Unit published a notice of availability of the FEIR in the Environmental Monitor. Subsequent to the release of the FEIR, the MEPA Unit staff suggested that FRA make certain additional background materials available for public review. Enclosed is a supplement to the FEIR that contains the background material identified by the MEPA Unit staff. FRA requests that you arrange for printing a notice of availability of the FEIR and this supplement in the next publication of the State's Environmental Monitor. FRA is providing this information solely because the MEPA Unit staff believes that it would facilitate a more infonned review of the FEIR on Amtrak's proposed electrification project. This action in no way reflects any reservations or concerns on the part of FRA regarding the quality and completeness of the FErR. FRA appreciates the support that we have received from the MEPA Unit staff in facilitating the review of the FEIR. Should your continuing review of the FEIR identify any issues that require further elaboration, FRA will provide such elaboration in a timely manner.
