Tudor Wharf Draft Environmental Impact Report EOEA # 6744 



expected that access to the landing will 

 be primarily made on foot. In Alternative 

 #1, the turnaround area on Charles River 

 Avenue will also serve as a dropoff point 

 for those arriving by taxi or private 

 automobile. In Alternative #2, a dropoff 

 point on Water Street near the taxi dock 

 will be built. 



The projected water taxi demand for the 

 Tudor Wharf site is not known at this 

 time as on-demand water taxi service in 

 Boston Harbor is non-existent. While 

 water taxi services are not now offered, 

 there are water transportation 

 alternatives in Boston Harbor. These 

 include the airport water shuttle, the 

 Long Wharf-World Trade Center shuttle and 

 the Long Wharf-Charlestown Pier 4 

 service. 



Downtown Boston and the Charlestown Navy 

 Yard are water taxi destination points 

 and are also very convenient for 

 pedestrians to access from Tudor Wharf. 

 Less convenient from Tudor Wharf is the 

 airport, however, it is unlikely that the 

 project will generate enough traffic for 

 dedicated shuttle service to the airport. 

 There is greater likelihood that a 

 harborwide water taxi service will 

 receive traffic from the Tudor Wharf site 

 and the City Square area.
