A new Boston Parks Department plan for Franklin Park is proposing to end drive-through traffic on a major park roadway in order to prioritize recreation, wildlife habitat, and bike and pedestrian mobility.
Parks officials and consultants working on the city’s Franklin Park Action Plan unveiled their draft proposals for Boston’s largest public park in a Zoom teleconference on Wednesday afternoon. The plan aspires to remove barriers and improve the park’s connectivity to surrounding neighborhoods, and towards that end, the plan is proposing significant enhancements to the park’s roadways, paths, and entrances.
One of the plan’s more transformative proposals would ban through-running car traffic from Circuit Drive, and restore the roadway as a broad path for recreation and non-motorized transportation (see rendering above).

The stateâs highest court Monday threw out the first degree murder conviction of a Boston man who set in motion the gunfire that claimed the life of Dawnn Jaffier hours before she was to participate in
the 2014 Caribbean Festival in Boston.
In a unanimous ruling, the Supreme Judicial Court said Suffolk prosecutors did not marshal enough evidence against Wesson Colas, who pointed â but did not fire â a pistol at a man who did fire the bullets that killed 26-year-old Jaffier in Dorchester in 2014. (Keith Williams was convicted as the triggerman during the same trial with Colas. His appeal is pending before the SJC.)
