  • Report of the Board of Metropolitan Park Commissioners (1898)
    A Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2013 http://archive.org/details/reportofboardofm00mass_4 PUBLIC DOCUMENT No. 48. REPORT ~ Board of Metropolitan Park Commissioners. J^ANUARY, 1899. BOSTON : W RIGHT & POTTER PRINTING CO., STATE PRINTERS, 18 Post Office Square. 1899. A CONTENTS. PAGE Report of the Commissioners, 5 Report of the Secretary, 18 Report of the Landscape Architects, 47 Report of the Engineer, 64 Financial Statement, . 86 Analysis of Payments, 99 Claims (chapter 366 of the Acts of 1898), 118 KEPOKT. The Metropolitan Park Commission presents herewith its sixth annual report. At the presentation of its last report the Board was preparing to continue the acquirement of the banks of Charles River, and was engaged in the investigation of avail- able shore frontages and of certain proposed boulevards. Towards the close of its last session the Legislature made an appropriation of $1,000,000 as an addition to the Metropolitan Parks Loan, but further takings were de- layed until the uncertainties of war were clearly passed. Acquirements of land and restrictions have been made or provided for however along Charles River as far as Hemlock Gorge, so that the banks for 19 miles, except where occu- pied by great manufacturing concerns, are in the control either of this Board or of some other public or quasi public body. A noble gift of about 700 acres of woods and beau- tiful intervales south of Blue Hills and almost surroundingr Ponkapog Pond has been accepted under the will of the late ' Henry L. Pierce. A field in Cambridge at the rear of « Elm- wood," bought as a memorial to James Russell Lowell, has been transferred to the care of this Board, one-third of the purchase price having been paid by the Commonwealth and the remaining two-thirds by popular subscription, and will be available if desired as part of a parkway from Charles River to Fresh Pond.

  • Weight and Height Restrictions That Impact Truck Travel
    ON REG ST IO O N B BOSTON REGION METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION M Stephanie Pollack, MassDOT Secretary and CEO and MPO Chair E N T R O I Karl H. Quackenbush, Executive Director, MPO Staff O T P A O IZ LMPOI N TA A N G P OR LANNING TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM DATE: December 21, 2017 TO: Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization FROM: William S. Kuttner RE: Weight and Height Restrictions that Impact Truck Travel 1 INTRODUCTION This memorandum presents information about bridges in the Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) area that have signs restricting the weight or height of vehicles permitted to pass over or under them. MassDOT personnel monitor these weight and height restrictions, along with a bridge’s physical condition, or rating, and summarize them as inspection reports in MassDOT’s internal database. However, the physical condition or rating of bridges is not the direct concern of this study. The concern of this study is that truck restrictions cause trucks that are otherwise fully compliant with Massachusetts and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) size guidelines to use more circuitous routes than necessary to reach their various commercial destinations. Forced circuitous truck travel increases expenses for freight carriers and customers, increases the total environmental impact for a given level of freight traffic, and increases the negative impacts on local residents and communities. This study characterizes the severity of height and weight restrictions on trucks in the MPO region. The information developed will be used to evaluate projects considered for inclusion in two MPO planning documents: the Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).
