    Inventory and Analysis of the South Boston Parking Freeze

    Inventory and Analysis of the South Boston Parking Freeze An Interdisciplinary Qualifying Project Submitted to the faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science Submitted By: Roland Cormier Jie Liang Robert Viall David Zuniga Sponsoring Agency: City of Boston Environment Department Air Pollution Control Commission Submitted To: Project Advisors: Kevin Clements Chrysanthe Demetry Project Liaisons: Bryan Glascock Carl Spector Boston Environment Department One City Hall Plaza Boston, MA 02201 Date: April 27, 2007 Abstract The goal of this project was to evaluate the existing status of the South Boston parking freeze and to recommend changes in policy and procedure that will enhance the ability of the Boston Air Pollution Control Commission (BAPCC) to manage the parking freeze and improve its effectiveness in limiting air pollution from automobiles. The team provided an updated inventory of the parking freeze, an analysis of the effectiveness of the off-peak parking policy, and an information flow plan for the permit application process. ii Acknowledgements The team would like to thank all those who have helped us throughout the past seven weeks in completing this project. Special thanks to our sponsor Mr. Carl Spector of the Boston Air Pollution Control Commission for providing the team with his insight and guidance. The team would also like to thank Mr. Bryan Glascock, director of the Boston Environment Department for giving the team the opportunity to work on this project. Thanks to Ms. Carolyn Bennett of the Boston Redevelopment Authority for providing the team with her GIS expertise as well as the GIS map layers needed to complete the project.

    R2, R3, R4 Multi-Family Survey Report City of West Hollywood Appendix J: 1986-87 Survey Context, prepared by Johnson Heumann Research Associates Appendices November 2008 ARCHITECTURAL RESOURCES GROUP Architects, Planners & Conservators, Inc. when a small group of citizens formed the West Hollywood Incorporation Committee. By November of that year, studies by the Local Agency Formation Commission confirmed that incorporation was indeed economically feasible. Tenants led by the Coalition for Economic Survival, homeowners concerned with planning issues and the gay community were among the leading advocates of cityhoog. Formal application was made on April 4, 1984. On November 4, 1984, by a 4:1 favorable margin, the voters approved incorporation . One of the new city's first tasks was to begin to draft a General Plan , the land use policy document for the municipality required· by State law. In January of 1985, the city began the process of preparing the Plan, noting that the physical environment, social character and quality of life within the City would be influenced by the General Plan. It was a stated goal to link land use and urban design, emphasizing the relationship between parcels and uses throughout the city. A reduction of density from those outlined in the West Hollywood Community Plan, .---- prepared before incorporated by the County of Los Angeles, was planned. As an i ntegral part of this planning process. the city of West Hollywood applied for c survey grant from the State Off ice of Historic Preservation in November of 1985 . 1.2 DEVELOPMENT HISTORY The area now known as West Hollywood has played a key role in t h e development of Los Angeles County west of Los Angeles .

Refer to www.HistoricPlacesLA.org for information on designated resources associated with this context as well as those identified through SurveyLA and other surveys. CONTRIBUTOR Daniel Prosser is a historian and preservation architect. He holds an M.Arch. from Ohio State University and a Ph.D. in history from Northwestern University. Before retiring, Prosser was the Historic Sites Architect for the Kansas State Historical Society. INTRODUCTION The “Pre-Consolidation Communities of Los Angeles” context examines those communities that were at one time independent, self-governing cities. These include (presented here as themes): Wilmington, San Pedro, Hollywood, Sawtelle, Eagle Rock, Hyde Park, Venice, Watts, Barnes City, and Tujunga. This context traces the history of each of these cities (up to the point of consolidation with the City of Los Angeles), identifying important individuals and patterns of settlement and development, and then links the events and individuals to extant historic resources (individual resources and historic districts).

  • Time to Change!

    Time to Change!

    Time to Change! “Railway Time” With the introduction of the railway, travel became faster. With every station keeping its own local mean time, the need for a synchronized time arose. The first railway company to implement a common time for all stations, appropriately named “Railway Time,” was the Great Western Railway in November 1840. By 1847, most railways were using “London Time,” the time set at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich. In 1847, the Railway Clearing House, an industry standards body, recommended that Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) be adopted at all stations as soon as the General Post Office permitted it. On December 1, 1847, the London and North Western Railway, as well as the Caledonian Railway, adopted “London Time,” and by 1848 most railways had followed. Unofficial GMT By 1844, almost all towns and cities in Britain had adopted GMT, though the time standard received some resistance, with railway stations keeping local mean time and showing “London Time” with an additional minute hand on the clock. In 1862, the Great Clock of Westminster, popularly known as Big Ben, was installed. Though not controlled by the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, it received hourly time signals from Greenwich and returned signals twice daily. Standard Time Adopted However, it was not until 1880 that the British legal system caught up with the rest of the country. With the Statutes (Definition of Time) Act (43 & 44 Vict.), Greenwich Mean Time was legally adopted throughout the island of Great Britain on August 2, 1880.
