A new vision for Boston’s waterfront and climate resiliency Jocelyn Forbush
Boston has a long history of using parks to improve the everyday lives of its residents.
The Emerald Necklace, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, was imagined as a “green ribbon” sprawl of open space providing an escape from what was then an increasingly industrial, polluted city. It was this idea of using parks as a means for public good and well-being that led to the founding of the Trustees of Reservations in 1891 by Olmsted protégé Charles Eliot.Julia Africa, Cheri Ruane, Gary Hilderbrand, and Chris Reed: Parks are essential especially during the coronavirus pandemic
PORTSMOUTH The City Council has approved changes to the Prescott Park Master Plan, which recommends spending more than $3 million to protect the city-owned park from flooding.
The council voted unanimously Monday to approve the changes to the plan recommended by the Mayor’s Blue Ribbon Committee. Multiple recommended projects are aimed at protecting the beloved city park on the banks of the tidal Piscataqua River from flooding and other threats posed by climate change.
Tom Watson, who is chair of the Blue Ribbon committee, told the City Council the threats posed by rising water “will continue to be an increasing problem going forward.”
