  • Codman Square: History (1630 to Present), Turmoil (1950-1980)
    Codman Square: History (1630 to present), Turmoil (1950-1980) and Revival (1980-2000): Factors which lead to Racial and Ethnic Placement, Racial Segregation, Racial Transition, and Stable Integration By William J. Walczak Introduction The study of the history of a community can reveal the role of geographic, topographical, social, cultural and technological forces in the development and change of communities in the United States, and what brings them together and pulls them apart. The neighborhood described in this study – Dorchester – is interesting as a subject, for its history is nearly as old as America itself. The town of Dorchester was settled in 1630, and was a farming community for nearly 250 years before developing into a suburban, then urban, area. Yet to summarize Dorchester as a rural to suburban to urban neighborhood is to oversimplify. Dorchester contains as many as 36 sub-neighborhoods whose differences may not be detected by a casual passerby, but are very obvious to residents. This paper focuses on a collection of sub-neighborhoods which come together at a point of geography known as Codman Square, located in the geographic center of Dorchester. Codman Square is a fascinating place. The center point of the central Dorchester neighborhood, it has nearly 50,000 individuals. It is made up of people from fifty nations, with socio-economic and social differences ranging from low income Caribbean immigrants to working class African American districts to middle class professional neighborhoods of mixed races and lifestyles, to extremely impoverished Latino residents of housing projects. These various slivers of community today constitute a vibrant, transient, occasionally violent area which has undergone dramatic changes over the past 50 years, and has made tremendous improvements over the past 20 years after having hit bottom in the late 1970s.

  • Chapter 3—Existing Conditions: Bowker Overpass
    Massachusetts Turnpike Boston Ramps and Bowker Overpass Study December 2015 Chapter 3—Existing Conditions: Bowker Overpass 3.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the analysis of the Bowker Overpass sub-area of the Massachusetts Turnpike — Boston Ramps Study. As in Chapter 2, which discusses the larger study area, this section summarizes existing transportation conditions during a typical workday, emphasizing the peak-commuting hour. This section also reviews crash data and land use conditions. The Transit Data and Environmental Conditions provided in Chapter 2 apply to the Bowker Overpass sub-area of the study. 3.2 TRAFFIC CONDITIONS Developing a base knowledge of current traffic conditions fosters an understanding of where congestion occurs now and where it likely would occur in the future. The first step in calculating traffic congestion requires using current or recent turning- movement and traffic counts. Traffic counts were obtained along the Massachusetts Turnpike between the Allston Tolls and Ted Williams Tunnel, and at specific intersections throughout the study area. The volumes used in this analysis are presented in Section 3.2.1. Section 3.2.2 summarizes system performance. 3.2.1 Existing (2010) Traffic Volumes The Bowker Overpass delineates the Back Bay and Fenway/Kenmore neighborhoods, and runs roughly along the Muddy Brook between the Emerald Necklace/Back Bay Fens and the Charles River Esplanade. It connects Boylston Street and Fenway with Storrow Drive over the Massachusetts Turnpike, Commonwealth Avenue, and Beacon Street (Figure 3-1). The Bowker is also known as the Charlesgate Overpass, as Charlesgate is the name of the roadway that the overpass carries.
