  • 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.

  • Final Environmental Impact Report
    July 24, 2015 Matthew A. Beaton, Secretary Executive Office of Energy & Environmental Affairs Attention: MEPA Office – Holly Johnson, MEPA #14590 100 Cambridge Street, Suite 900 Boston, MA 02114 RE: The Station at Riverside, MEPA #14590 Dear Secretary Beaton: The Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) regularly reviews proposals deemed to have regional impacts. The Council reviews proposed projects for consistency with MetroFuture, the regional policy plan for the Boston metropolitan area, the Commonwealth’s Sustainable Development Principles, the GreenDOT initiative, consistency with Complete Streets policies and design approaches, as well as impacts on the environment. BH Normandy Riverside, the Proponent, proposes to redevelop an MBTA property at Riverside Station on Grove Street in Newton, off Exit 22 of Interstate 95 (Route 128). Since the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) filing in 2011, the proposed project has been downsized, but still is a significant development project in Greater Boston. The current proposal is for a mixed-use redevelopment in and around the current parking lot for the MBTA’s Riverside Station, the western terminus of the MBTA Green Line "D" Branch light rail line. The project site is defined as the 22.35 acres owned by the MBTA, which currently consists of the MBTA rail yard operations, a Green Line maintenance facility, a bus terminal facility, and surface parking. A 9.38-acre parcel will be leased to the Proponent for redevelopment. An Intermodal Commuter Facility (ICF) will be constructed on approximately 2.11 acres and will be operated by the MBTA. The MBTA will continue its operations on the remaining approximately 10.86 acres.

  • Red / Blue Line Connector Assessment – Land Use, Population, and Ridership Memo 2 2
    SUMMARY MEMORANDUM: POPULATION, LAND USE, AND RIDERSHIP CHANGES UPDATE TO THE 2010 DEIR FOR THE RED LINE/BLUE LINE CONNECTOR Published October 2018 1. Introduction In 2010, Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) conducted a study to evaluate the connection of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority’s (MBTA’s) Red Line and Blue Line in Boston. The Red/Blue Line Connector Project consisted of extending the Blue Line beyond its current terminus at Bowdoin Station along Cambridge Street to the Red Line at Charles/ MGH Station. In March 2010, MassDOT submitted a Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) pursuant to the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA). In May 2010, MEPA approved the DEIR. At the time, MassDOT had not identified funding for the construction of the Project. Recent changes in development and growth in Revere, East Boston, and Cambridge, as well as advancements in construction technologies, have generated a renewed interest in revisiting the need for the Red/Blue Line Connector. MassDOT’s Office of Transportation and Planning (OTP), working with the MBTA, has initiated a study to reassess the Project by revisiting previous assumptions developed during the 2010 DEIR. The purpose of this memorandum is to update the data and assumptions regarding population, land use, and ridership from the 2010 DEIR’s Purpose and Need. The 2010 DEIR focused primarily on four Census tracks surrounding the Cambridge Street corridor project area. However, due to their current access to the Blue and Red lines, the communities in this area would likely not have a large effect on demand for and use of the connection.
