  • Civic Vision for Turnpike Air Rights in Boston
    A Civic Vision for Turnpike Air Rights in Boston June 2000 Dear Friends: In September 1998, I commissioned a group to craft a vision for the air rights over the Boston Extension of the Massachusetts Turnpike. Working with City of Boston staff, these dedicated individuals spent more than two years carefully examining individual air rights parcels, meeting with neighborhoods, advocacy groups, and experts, and designing a comprehensive plan for reknitting the urban fabric along the Turnpike corridor. In this document you will find the culmination of that grand vision. The people of Boston are indebted to the members of the Strategic Development Study Committee, and chair M. David Lee, for the time and energy they committed to this planning process. The Civic Vision for the Turnpike Air Rights in Boston is a thoughtful, exhaustive document that describes a clear plan to fulfill the needs of residents, businesses, and local institutions. It tackles difficult issues - transportation, economic development, and open space - with sensitivity and concern. It will serve as an essential guide to the City and its residents for years to come. I congratulate and thank David Lee, the members of the Strategic Development Study Committee, and all of the community residents who contributed to this process. The City of Boston has committed substantial resources to this effort, and we will continue to work closely with state agencies, private developers, and future Citizen Advisory Committees to implement the goals of the Civic Vision. The Turnpike air rights are among the most valuable development opportunities in the City of Boston. With the guidance of the Civic Vision, we will ensure that they become the most beautiful additions to our neighborhoods.

The parks within the Charles River Esplanade - New Basin Complex are among the most popular in the Commonwealth. They provide a variety of recreational opportunities, from scenic walks along the river, to bike rides along the 18-mile Dr. Paul Dudley White Bicycle Path, to taking in a summer concert at the Hatch Shell or in City Square Park. These parks are a common ground where people of widely different backgrounds meet. Intense boating activity makes the Lower Basin one of the nation’s great water parks.

  • Massachusetts Archaeology Month October 2015 Calendar of Events
    Sailing Back in Time Massachusetts Archaeology Month October 2015 Calendar of Events William Francis Galvin Secretary of the Commonwealth Chair, Massachusetts Historical Commission From the State Archaeologist When you hear “underwater archaeology,” most people think of shipwrecks, but there are older things to look for, buried in the sea bottom: archaeological sites associated with ancient Native Americans. When the ancient Native American people first came to Massachusetts about 10,000 -12,000 years ago, there was a broad coastal plain to explore and inhabit. This post-ice age coastal plain was ex- posed by the retreating glaciers. Through time, the more that the glaciers melted, the coastal plain became submerged under the sea, inundating the Native America archaeological sites. Today, underwater archaeologists are making a concerted ef- fort to discover those sites. Recently, evidence of an ancient boreal forest has been found by archaeologists in soil cores in Nantucket Sound. A wooden dugout canoe (called a “mishoon” in Algonquin language) has been found on a lake bottom in Worcester County. Fishermen and scallop trawlers have occasionally found fossils of extinct big game such as mastodons, as well as Native American stone tools. Sometimes today people may find isolated artifacts on beaches or at low tide. If you think you’ve found an artifact, please feel free to contact the archaeologists at the Massachusetts Historical Commission MHC) for their identification at 617- 727-8470 or by email at [email protected] . With the continued threat of sea level rise, the MHC is eager to identify archaeological sites on the coast that might warrant protection and preservation.
