Many issues that are not related to local city government services are acted upon and have a direct impact on daily life. They are tax policy, transportation infrastructure, judicial appointments, social services and health, as well as higher education. We will excerpt reports from the gavel-to-gavel coverage of House and Senate sessions by news sources focused on this important aspect of our lives.

    MEDIA CONTACT: Edwina A. Klünder 617.888.5859 [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Boston’s Emerald Necklace Conservancy announces critical restoration of Charlesgate Park as an essential link to connect the Emerald Necklace parks, Charles River Esplanade and Commonwealth Avenue Mall This transformational project is being realized in partnership with Charlesgate Alliance, Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation and Massachusetts Department of Transportation Left drawing: Charlesgate Park lies at the juncture of several regional park systems, including the Emerald Necklace, the Charles River Esplanade and the Charles River Reservation. Right drawing: Proposed improvements to Charlesgate Park would directly connect regional park systems like the Emerald Necklace and the Charles River Esplanade for the first time in more than half a century. Photo credit: Landing Studio Boston, MA June 11, 2020 – The Emerald Necklace Conservancy is announcing the re-envisioning of Charlesgate Park in Boston. This critical project will be a major improvement for urban recreation and public health, including a universally accessible children’s play area, one of the largest dog parks in the city, new pathways for bike and pedestrian use, the implementation of green infrastructure and resilience throughout including the completion of a major transportation link. Charlesgate Park, located at the intersection of Boston’s Back Bay, Fenway and Kenmore neighborhoods, was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted as the first part of the Emerald Necklace, connecting the Charles River Esplanade, Commonwealth Avenue Mall, several neighborhoods and the five-mile, six-park linear park system known as the Emerald Necklace. In the 1950s and 1960s, prioritization of road construction over parkland (Storrow Drive) compromised this once-idyllic space, overshadowing it with a highway overpass (Bowker Overpass), and dividing it with new roads and on- ramps, ultimately increasing pollution of the Muddy River and deteriorating the park’s usability.
