Future Fenway Design Symposium
Key Findings and Conclusions from the Design Symposium
Urban Design and Transportation Planning Proposals
The team of urban planners led by Arturo Vasquez and Patrick Pinnell addressed various transportation issues including:
- minimizing vehicular traffic and parking demands by consolidating parking within the study area and co-locating parking resources with the surrounding institutional facilities;
- improving public transportation capacity at Kenmore and Fenway;
- providing a dedicated rail new transit stop at Yawkey Way with a potential lay-by at Ipswich Street;
- increasing pedestrian connections by opening up Landsdowne Street with potential development areas over the Turnpike;
- establishing urban design guidelines to promote development of a mixed-use residential character for the district;
- improving pedestrian circulation along Boylston Street with a tree-lined asymmetrical boulevard and extended sidewalk along the northern edge of the street; and finally,
- improving the network of public open space north of Boylston Street by introducing a new "public plaza" at the intersection of Ipswich and Landsdowne streets.
