    Open Space Plan 2008-2014 Section 7 Analysis of Needs Section 7.1.2 Resource Protection HARBOR OPEN SPACE Section 7 Analysis of Needs Section 7.1.2: Resource Protection HARBOR OPEN SPACE INTRODUCTION: A PLANNING FRAMEWORK This chapter presents a planning framework that has been designed to guide the continuing revitalization of Boston Harbor’s open space and Harborwalk systems. In keeping with the intent of this Open Space Plan, it recommends the enhancement of existing open space facilities while identifying opportunities to be realized by future programs and projects along the shoreline and on the islands. The framework builds on and extends the work of public agencies, including the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA), the Boston Conservation Commission (BCC), the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MADEP), the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), and the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport), as well as non-profit organizations and waterfront property owners, in an effort to promote and provide public access to waterfront open space. The proposed framework reflects the larger vision of the City to share equitably among all the city’s residents the resources of the harbor for recreational as well as economic benefits. Boston Harbor’s clean-up project has fostered a resurgence in water- related activities and a desire for broad public access to the water’s edge. Boston’s municipal harbor planning efforts, the product of a decade-long community-based effort by the city, articulates this vision through four comprehensive planning policies: • Universal access to opportunities on the harbor; • Year-round activation of the waterfront through public, cultural, and water-dependent uses; • Enhancement of maritime activities; and • Growth that is appropriately designed and brings vitality.

Ryan. Three scenarios for the Boston Public Library’s twenty-six branches were presented and discussed. Following the discussion, BPL President Amy E. Ryan en- dorsed Option 2, the plan that closes four branches and maintains library hours. “The Boston Public Library needs to save money, stabilize and begin to move forward,” said BPL President Amy E. Ryan. “Keeping twenty-two branches open is the most prudent option. It preserves as many branches as possible, permits us to fill critical vacancies and allows us to explore partnerships.” These were the three options discussed: Option 1: All twenty-six branches remain open, eight lead libraries (plus Central Library in Copley Square) maintain existing hours of operation, eighteen branches paired and hours reduced.
