Bill > H4293

This bill, declared an emergency law for the immediate preservation of public safety and health, facilitates the transfer of a specific parcel of state-owned land, previously designated as the "East First Street Buffer" and managed by the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport), to the City of Boston. This land, intended to serve as a visual and noise buffer along East First Street in South Boston to mitigate impacts from industrial uses and traffic on the Thomas J. Butler Freight Corridor, will now be owned by the city to accommodate improvements agreed upon through a community planning process, including angled parking and sidewalk relocation. The bill also includes a legal description of the parcel being transferred and designates the Massachusetts Port Authority cruise port in South Boston as the "Raymond L. Flynn Cruiseport."
