Tudor Wharf Draft Environmental Impact Report EOEA # 6744 



5.0 Visual Impacts 



The purpose of this study is to analyze 

 the visual impact of the proposed design 

 on views to, through and from the site 

 and to study the sensitivity of its 

 massing and scale relative to its 

 surroundings. This is achieved by 

 comparing the existing site condition 

 with perspectives of the proposed design. 

 The Scope and the comment letters on the 

 E.N.F. requested that the analysis 

 provide views from Charlestown, including 

 City Square and the Constitution, the 

 North End and from Tudor Wharf itself. 



5.1 Visual Study 



The important view corridors in the area 

 of Tudor Wharf are those where the USS 

 Constitution, the Bunker Hill Monument, 

 the Customs House, Old North Church and 

 Boston Harbor can be seen. The important 

 view points where these places can be 

 seen from include City Square, the USS 

 Constitution and the Charlestown Bridge. 

 The study shows the views of and from the 

 Tudor Wharf site at the present time, and 

 the views from the site after completion 

 of the project. In the case of the City 

 Square view, the proposed view is when 

 both the CANA project and the Tudor Wharf 

 project are completed.
