Boston Master Plan Introduction This document summarizes the preliminary results of the broad feasibility review of the various elements that comprise the draft Preferred Master Plan Alternative. The Preferred Alternative combines components of the three scenarios presented at the previous community workshop, based on comments received at and after that event. These plan components have been subjected to both qualitative and quantitative feasibility review, as appropriate, from the perspectives of urban design, transportation, regulatory, and economic development feasibility. The detailed feasibility analysis reviews for each discipline are being completed. In this document, the key recommendations of the Master Plan, in many cases with a number of suboptions, have been structured into a proposed Action Agenda, organized around five main areas of activity that address the goals of the Master Plan. These are: Within each of these broad areas, specific recommendations regarding land use, open space, transportation and traffic management, and economic development opportunities and concerns are identified, followed by analytic comments that summarize positive and negative feasibility factors. Issues requiring further study beyond the scope of the Master Plan are also noted. Graphic of Master Plan Overview Graphic Illustration of Master Plan Options
