Comments on the Charles River Basin Connectivity Study

[Note as of December 28, 2024: plans from 2021 and 2024 propose something very much like what I suggested for the rotatry at North Beacon street in Brighton. See project background page here [archived], and related documents.

I have prepared extensive comments on the Charles River Basin Connectivity Study and submitted them for review.

I strongly support many aspects of the study, but there are some details I would change, and there are some opportunities which the study does not address — just for example, making the large “no man’s land” inside the rotary south of the North Beacon Street Bridge accessible as parkland.
