Tudor Wharf Draft Environmental Impact Report EOEA # 6744 



improve the pedestrian routes between 

 Boston and Charlestown. 



Policy 13 - Review developments proposed near 



existing public recreation sites in order 

 to minimize their adverse impacts. 



The project itself is located beside the 

 Freedom Trail which runs across the 

 Charlestown Bridge. The closest public 

 recreation sites are the Bunker Hill 

 Monument, U.S.S. Constitution, Pier 4, 

 Paul Revere Landing Park and the 

 Esplanade in Charlestown and the MDC 

 playground and P.F.C. Steven Steriti ice 

 rink in the North End. There will be no 

 adverse impacts on these areas. There 

 will be positive impacts on Paul Revere 

 Landing Park. The park will be connected 

 to Tudor Wharf through one of the bridge 

 vaults, which will be cleaned up and well 

 lighted. This will allow for an 

 additional link in the pedestrian routes 

 from Charlestown to Boston. Many walkers 

 now cross the Charles River on the 

 Gridley Locks, operated by the 

 Metropolitan District Commission. These 

 walkers presently cross Paul Revere 

 Landing Park and walk under the 

 Charlestown Bridge on Waldo Street. With 

 the proposed improvements they will be 

 able to walk under the Charlestown Bridge 

 nearer the water's edge.
