January 9: Resilient Moakley Park Expanded Environmental Notification Form (EENF) , a 60-acre city-owned park susceptible to immediate and regular flooding following major rainstorms due to limited stormwater management infrastructure and high groundwater conditions; with projected sea level rise which will turn the park into a major flood pathway inland. The City’s strategy includes the construction of a resilient landscape berm while simultaneously making improvements to stormwater and community amenities. Comments to Eva.Vaughan@mass.gov.
