1515 Commonwealth Avenue Public Comments via website form 2019-08-07.xlsx Date First Name Last Name Organization Opinion Comments 7/15/2019 Sheila Quinn Resident Neutral The PNF notes that it is anticipated to have enough sewer capacity in the existing 10" sewer main in Commonwealth Avenue. 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. If pumps are required for a the buildings a domestic water it should be reviewed if the DEP will require permitting to the modification of public drinking water system. 7/10/2019 Justin Brown 350Mass Neutral Greetings — The Boston Climate Action plan is calling for carbon neutrality by 2050. All new Allston-Brighton construction, therefore, should be designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as much as possible. In Boston, buildings account for approximately 70% of emissions. The mayor is fully committed to phasing our construction that relies on natural gas or other fossil fuels for heating and cooling. It is my hope that you have plans for 1515 Commonwealth Ave. that includes the most ambitious net zero construction possible. Best, Justin Brown 7/9/2019 Carol Boggs Allston Brighton Oppose We need to start planning development with an eye to livability.

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. 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.” A 1,000-foot tower that would greatly enhance the Boston skyline is illustrated at top.

Chapter 3 Community Assets
Chapter 3 p Community Assets 200 Health of Boston 2016-2017 201 3 | Community Assets Community Assets Social determinants of health are socioeconomic, environmental, and social resources that lay the foundation for health during childhood and may have lasting effects through adulthood (1). The previous chapter presented data on socioeconomic determinants of health such as educational attainment, employment, income, and housing status and the association of these factors with specific health outcomes. This chapter will focus on community-level social determinants of health referred to as “community assets.” Broadly speaking, community assets are the collective resources that make it easier for people to make healthy choices. An asset-based approach recognizes the importance of social, cultural, and physical resources that exist within the community (2). Community assets increase an individual’s opportunity to engage in activities that improve health and well- being (3). Anything that improves the quality of community life may be considered a community asset (4) including: • Community programs such as community gardens and farmer’s markets • Local businesses such as grocery stores and restaurants • Natural resources such as rivers, trees, and green space • Built environment such as parks, playgrounds, and walking paths • Neighborhood groups such as community advisory and crime watch groups • Municipal services such as police, fire, and recreation services • Public institutions such as schools, churches, and libraries • Resources promoting civic engagement such as call services for reporting non-emergency issues to local officials (e.g. Boston 311) Access to healthy foods, active living environments, opportunities that give individuals a voice in the political process, and good municipal services may contribute to the health of residents (5-10).

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.

The Prudential Center was one of seven Regional Home Offices (RHOs) planned by Prudential in the 1950s to decentralize its management. What began as an effort to reinvigorate the company’s bureaucratic makeup evolved into a prominent building program and urban planning phenomenon, promoting the economic prospects of each RHO city and reshaping the geography of the business district.

Chapter 2: Social Determinants of Health
Social Determinants of Health 2014-2015 Chapter 2: Social Determinants of Health 63 2014-2015 Health of Boston Social Determinants of Health Beyond individual physiology and health-related behaviors, there are other economic, environmental and social factors that influence health. Collectively, we refer to these as social determinants of health. Social determinants are societal influences that help to describe the circumstances in which people are born, grow up, live, work and age (1). Social determinants of health are uniquely experienced by individuals, differentially impacting health experiences and ultimately contributing to health inequities (2). Research has identified a wide range of social factors that are associated with differences in health outcomes (2): Employment Access to Health Resources Access to Healthy Food Income Access to Health Care Housing Conditions Exposure to Violence Transportation Options Insurance Coverage Environmental Safety Education Occupational Safety These social determinants of health impact an individual’s life in many specific ways, for example, the quality of education available to them, their ability to find and maintain employment and the type of work (including levels of exposure to occupational hazards), access to safe and stable housing, and access to health care and the quality of those services (3). The resulting life experiences, in turn, directly influence physical and mental health and contribute to health inequities. Our report describes how many health-promoting resources, such as income, employment, education, and home ownership, are unevenly distributed within our city among those of differing races and ethnicities, socioeconomic status, and geographic locations. Social determinants of health can be described in terms of three broad context areas: economic, environmental, and social.
