ENGINEERS May 5, 1989 * RaymondL.Flynn,Mayor To Whom it May Concern: The Boston Transportation Department is pleased to transmit four of the Technical Memoranda being prepared for the Fort Point Channel/South Boston Roadways Improvement Study funded under a State Public Works Economic Development (PWED) grant for agency review. They are: 1.1 - Synopsis of Fort Point Channel Area Studies 1.2 - Fort Point Channel Area Accident History Investigations 2.1 - Methodology for Fort Point Channel Area 2010 Traffic Projections 2.2 - Indentification and Evaluation of Fort Point Channel Roadway Improvement Options With your cooperation, it is expected that the study will produce a consensus local roadway system for the Fort Point Channel area that meets transportation objectives for the area, is supportive of land use and urban design objectives and is consistent with the myriad of public and private investments that are being undertaken in the area. In particular, we direct your attention to the Technical Memorandum 2.2 Summary of Findings, which summarizes the results of the traffic sensitivity comparisons of local roadway options which have been reviewed to date. We will be calling you in the very near future to set up a meeting to discuss the status of this study and the next steps we will be undertaking to better define the local street grid pattern in the Fort Point Channel/South Boston area.
