Tudor Wharf Draft Environmental Impact Report EOEA # 6744 



In Alternative #2, the taxi dock will 

 remain in the same location but the float 

 plan for the marina will change. In this 

 alternative, the marina float plan will 

 change from a side channel configuration 

 to a center channel configuration. This 

 means that the fingers will extent 

 perpendicular from the edge of the Tudor 

 Wharf pier. The taxi dock will remain in 

 the same location. Water taxis 

 approaching the landing will enter the 

 center channel and make a left turn 

 between the float fingers to get to the 

 dock. 



The landing will be made available to any 

 and all water taxi services in use or 

 planned for in Boston Harbor. It will 

 have the appropriate floats, ramps and 

 other conveniences necessary for small 2 5- 

 3 5 foot water taxi boats to board and 

 discharge passengers. The specific design 

 details will be reviewed with the Water 

 Transportation Task Force and vessel 

 operators. The plan will be reflected in 

 the final Chapter 91 license. 



This project, by itself, will not 

 generate sufficient demand to support 

 water taxi service, nor does it require 

 the use of water transportation services. 

 The landing is being provided as a public 

 service to Tudor Wharf tenants, site 

 visitors and Charlestown residents. It is
