The U.S. has lagged far behind other nations in terms of testing our citizens to determine whether they have contracted Covid-19. Not only did our government not have anywhere near the number of test kits available to meet the demand for testing, but those that we did have were defective. As a result, we have lost precious time in identifying how many of our citizens have the disease and the extent of the outbreak in specific parts of the country.

The project is estimated to generate 49,940 GPD of wasterwater. Per the NEIWPCC TP-16 a peak flow factor of 5.6 should be used to evaluate peak sewer flows. This indicates the peak flow from the project would be 0.43 cfs. The sewer mains existing capacity is noted as 4.95 cfs. This means this one project would be using almost 10% of sewer mains capacity. Additionally studies should be required to determine if additional capacity is required in the street to handle this project.

Menino is undertaking expansive plans to enhance Boston’s skyline and breathe new life into the waterfront district and Dudley Square. With visions of new skyscrapers, the relocation of city offices and the redevelopment of the current City Hall Plaza already taking root, residents will be witnessing a renewal that will position the city for years to come. “Boston is growing, but growth alone is not the goal,” said Menino. “It’s crucial that we strengthen our sense of partnership and our shared sense of purpose – our determination to make the most out of Boston’s great assets and our determination to make Boston the best city in the world.” Last year, Menino called for proposals for a new tower to grace Boston’s skyline – one that would surpass the city’s tallest building, the John Hancock Tower. In the fall, the city unveiled See VISION Page 9 “Boston is growing, but growth alone is not the goal.

    A call to action to make Roslindale Boston’s most walkable neighborhood. ​ March 5, 2019 BY EMAIL ONLY ([email protected]) ​ Mr. Brian Golden, Director Boston Planning & Development Agency (BPDA) Boston City Hall, One City Hall Square, 9th Floor Boston, MA 02201 Att’n: Ms. Aisling Kerr, Project Manager ([email protected]) RE: Support Letter - Roxbury Preparatory Charter School (361 Belgrade Avenue) ​ ​ Dear Mr. Golden and Ms. Kerr: I write on behalf of WalkUP Roslindale to comment in support of the proposed Roxbury ​ Preparatory Charter High School Development at 361 Belgrade Avenue in Roslindale, and to urge BPDA to work cooperatively with the school’s developers, BTD, the MBTA, and the Commonwealth, to insure that this welcome addition to our neighborhood be built and designed to be as walkable and transit accessible as possible. As described in more detail in the footer of this letter, WalkUP Roslindale’s overarching goal is to foster “Walkable Urban Places.” In particular, we believe we can make Roslindale the most ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ walkable neighborhood in all of Boston, full of active, dynamic, and safe streets. Implemented properly, we believe Roxbury Prep advances this vision.1 Belgrade Avenue has the potential to be a vibrant and accessible mixed-use corridor connecting the Roslindale and West Roxbury neighborhoods, and especially the Main Street business districts of both. This potential will not be realized, however, in the presence of vacant or abandoned lots, as well as auto-centric uses such as the Clay Auto Center that currently sits at and badly underutilizes this location. Activating this location with a school will change the character of the area for the better, and yield tangible benefits in the form of increased foot traffic (from both students and staff) to neighboring businesses in both West Roxbury and Roslindale.

  • KHC Pitch V2
    OUR MISSION The mission of Kilachand Honors College is to offer a challenging liberal education grounded in critical and creative thinking and interdisciplinary problem-solving related to important global, societal, corporate, and geopolitical challenges. Kilachand’s integrated, four-year curriculum is augmented by an extensive series of co-curricular events, including visits to cultural institutions, arts events, and discussions with leading scientists, artists, and professionals. All Kilachand students complete a substantial work of empirical or scholarly research, creativity, or invention by the close of their senior year and share the outcomes of their work in a celebratory Symposium. All of these endeavors occur within a supportive living- learning community that offers students educational experiences similar to those of a small liberal arts college with the resources and intellectual depth of a major urban research university. OUR COMMUNITY Kilachand students pursue majors and minors offered by the schools and colleges across Boston University. English, chemistry, and neuroscience majors from the College of Arts and Sciences find themselves working in teams with biomedical engineers from the College of Engineering, business majors from the Questrom School of Business, and painters from the College of Fine Arts. All our first year students live together in Kilachand Hall, where the College advisors, staff, director, and associate directors also have offices. Co-curricular events that enhance the educational goals and the community of the college are also held in Kilachand Hall, offering students opportunities for frequent, informal interactions with faculty and staff. OUR STUDENTS The students who thrive at Kilachand are intellectually curious and courageous, and they want to put their knowledge to use to benefit their communities.
