2006: 62,000 2013: 5,000 Harvards evolving plan removed 57,000 square feet of community-friendly space as

Harvards Retail Plan

Harvard Basketball / Student Housing

The Task Force asked: How could a partnership with an organization such as the YMCA make the proposed facility part of the Allston community and allow public use when Harvard students are not practicing or competing?

250,000 sq ft of office space An active ground floor supporting permeability will include mixed use activities, comprising service, retail, and/or other institutional uses and programming.

Reducing Car Usage Harvard University is a leader among Cambridges large employers in maintaining an exceptionally low Single Occupancy Vehicle (SOV) rate. Harvards Goal in Cambridge: 25% Harvards 2012 result: 13% Allston (as of 2006): 59% Harvards Goal in Allston: NONE

Harvard's Proposed New Roads

Private roads that service Harvard buildings Will they help people get to Barry's Corner from Brookline, Cambridge, Watertown, or Mass Pike? Will they reduce traffic that drives through Allston heading elsewhere?

Stadium Way in Harvards Long Term Plan

East Drive proposed by Harvard in 2007

Would provide direct outbound access to the Mass Pike

From Harvard in 2007

Intercept locations for garages, to keep cars from the neighborhood streets and center of campus and to minimize traffic movements across and along Western Ave and North Harvard St.

Quality of Life during Harvard Construction

Harvards Construction Plan

Does not protect Windom Street Unclear how this interacts with planned construction of the river bridges & Cambridge Street overpass

Harvards IMP: Each of the individual IMP projects will be required to prepare a Construction Management Plan (CMP) in compliance with the Citys Construction Management Program. Each CMP will be submitted to the Boston Transportation Department (BTD) once final plans are developed for each project and the construction schedules are fixed.

Summary

Notes
Harvard has not established a mode share goal for its Allston community. As part of the 2007 20Year Master Plan ENF and IMPNF (both of which have since been withdrawn by Harvard), Harvard indicated that An automobile mode share of 50 percent for employees has been targeted for Phase 1. This mode share should be achievable by continuing and enhancing the current TDM program and improving the pedestrian, bicycle, and public transit networks to and from the Allston Campus. Although 7 day a week public access cannot generally be guaranteed at this stage of planning, the activation of ground floor uses will strive to encompass as much of the week as practical.
