Boston, Massachusetts, Waterfront Welcomes Cool and Interactive Outdoor Space
Boston's waterfront isn't the one that we or our parents remember. Not that long ago in the '60s and '70s, it was a vast, industrial-looking space with just a couple of restaurants that seemed a little out of place (Jimmy's and Anthony's Pier 4) . The smoky bars seemed to fit in just fine, and they were filled with nefarious-looking people (not that I'm judging).

The MBTA and the City of Boston hosted the latest in a series of public meetings to seek feedback to their $44 million public works project along Blue Hill Avenue last Thursday (June 27) at the Franklin Park Clubhouse in Dorchester.

Commentary: Blue Hill Avenue rises and falls, so let’s redesign it accordingly
Five years ago, I began taking weekly walks on Blue Hill Avenue for the purpose of seeing the state of anything and everything for public services, streetscapes, types of businesses, housing types, who is walking or using walking-aids/wheelchairs, biking, trucks, cars, scooters, buses, and its physical appearance. My roundtrip route takes me across Cummins Highway, crossing both sides of Blue Hill Avenue, from the front of the Brothers Deli & Restaurant at Mattapan Square to the Madhouse Cafe at Dudley St and Blue Hill Ave (9 miles) and back to my starting point. I have walked alternative routes where I follow the outline of the Greater Mattapan Zoning Boundaries, which is about 10.6 miles.
