Let the Boston Planning and Development Agency and the developer, Related Beal, know your thoughts on: 

• Public Parks Design & Programming 
• Sea Level Rise & Stormwater Flood Protection
• Climate Resilience

This is critical point in the approval process, decisions made over the next couple of months will not be changed.

244 - 284 A Street, the 6.5 acre development along the Fort Point Channel (aka former Gillette Channelside parking lots), is resuming the approval process from the City and requires feedback from the neighborhood.

The Waterfront Parks: Last year, the community established three themes focused on urban wilderness, community living room and flex space/outdoor gallery. Do the park designs meet neighborhood needs and expectations?

Climate Resilience: Will the proposed climate resilient solutions protect the site and neighborhood from sea level rise and stormwater flooding?
