The BPDA hosted our first public meeting for the two proposed hotels in Kenmore Square. It was the first opportunity for the development team to present the proposed development program, schematic design and public realm improvements and the first chance for the community to view and comment on the project. This is the very first step in the community participation process and many good questions and concerns were raised at the meeting. The development team took copious notes and will be studying all of the concerns raised at the meeting, including traffic, emergency vehicle access, public realm, shadows and construction safeguards. The BPDA will incorporate the feedback from the community in to their “Scoping Determination” which will dictate to our team what areas need to be studied and detailed in a comprehensive report called a Draft Project Impact Report (DPIR). Following the scope, our team of architects, engineers and other professionals will take time to study every area of interest and we will draft the DPIR and submit back to the BPDA and city agencies. That completed report will be sent out to all members of the Impact Advisory Group and will be available on this website as soon as it is submitted. We expect to submit the DPIR sometime in the late summer or early fall of 2018.”
