  • CHAPTER 2 Progress Since the Last PMT
    CHAPTER 2 Progress Since the Last PMT The 2003 PMT outlined the actions needed to bring the MBTA transit system into a state of good repair (SGR). It evaluated and prioritized a number of specific enhancement and expansion projects proposed to improve the system and better serve the regional mobility needs of Commonwealth residents. In the inter- vening years, the MBTA has funded and implemented many of the 2003 PMT priorities. The transit improvements highlighted in this chapter have been accomplished in spite of the unsus- tainable condition of the Authority’s present financial structure. A 2009 report issued by the MBTA Advisory Board1 effectively summarized the Authority’s financial dilemma: For the past several years the MBTA has only balanced its budgets by restructuring debt liquidat- ing cash reserves, selling land, and other one-time actions. Today, with credit markets frozen, cash reserves depleted and the real estate market at a stand still, the MBTA has used up these options. This recession has laid bare the fact that the MBTA is mired in a structural, on-going deficit that threatens its viability. In 2000 the MBTA was re-born with the passage of the Forward Funding legislation.This legislation dedicated 20% of all sales taxes collected state-wide to the MBTA. It also transferred over $3.3 billion in Commonwealth debt from the State’s books to the T’s books. In essence, the MBTA was born broke. Throughout the 1990’s the Massachusetts sales tax grew at an average of 6.5% per year. This decade the sales tax has barely averaged 1% annual growth.

  • 375-399 Chestnut Hill Avenue
    375-399 Chestnut Hill Avenue Brookline Planning Department Submission June 10th 2014 Project Overview: Boston Development Group proposes to redevelop the property located at 375 – 399 Chestnut Hill Ave. The project site lies partially in Brookline and partially in the City of Boston, whereby approximately 18,176sf are in Brookline and the remaining 92,853sf in Boston. As such the project complies with both Brookline and Boston zoning. The proposed development has evolved substantially through extensive planning and design involvement by the Boston Redevelopment Authority and a Brookline Design Advisory Team implemented by the Brookline Planning Board as well as significant input from community members in Boston and Brookline. The result is a mixed-use development that includes residential, hotel, and retail uses. The density and scale of the project has been carefully considered to minimize development impacts on the community while offering a vibrant new face to Cleveland Circle. The proposed development will include both subsurface garage parking as well as surface parking. The principal members of the design and permitting team include: Architect: ADD Inc. Landscape Architect: Halverson Design Partnership Traffic Engineer: Howard/Stein-Hudson Associates, Inc. Brookline Permitting Counsel: Holland & Knight Existing Conditions The existing site totals approximately 2.56 acres on 2 parcels on the south side of Chestnut Hill Ave and adjacent to Cleveland Circle. The first parcel is home to the former Circle Cinema movie theater and is owned by National Amusements Inc. The Circle Cinema parcel has two addresses: 375 Chestnut Hill Avenue in Boston and 399 Chestnut Hill Avenue in Brookline. The Cinema was closed in 2008.
