Fenway Civic Association

Dear neighbors, before the baseball post-season kicks into full gear, we’d like to invite you to a neighborhood meeting here at Fenway Park. As with our previous meetings over the years, we will provide updates on our events and operations, and offer you the chance to ask questions and provide any feedback and suggestions that you have. We hope that, despite the relatively short notice, you’ll be able to join us.

The meeting is open to all, and food and beverages will be served. If you plan to attend, please rsvp to Claire at cdurant@redsox.com.

Thanks and see you soon, Dave

Dear Members and Friends:

Please see the following announcement regarding a July 24 Impact Advisory Group meeting for a proposed project at 60 Kilmarnock Street. These meetings are open to the public. Comments may be submitted through the BPDA website here.

60 Kilmarnock Street
Impact Advisory Group Meeting
Description: The proposed project is located at 60, 67-75, 70-80 KilmarnockStreet and 59-75 Queensberry Street. It will include a total of approximately 443 residential units in two buildings, totaling 420,800 square feet, separated by Kilmarnock Street, along with ground floor retail space fronting on Kilmarnock Street, and landscaped areas and other amenities and services for residents. The proposed project will also include 250 below-grade and surface parking spaces.
Please note that the purpose of this meeting is different than that of a traditional community meeting. As part of the development review process, Impact Advisory Group (IAG) members work closely with BPDA staff to identify the impacts of a project and recommend appropriate community benefits to offset those impacts. IAG meetings prioritize discussion between the project proponent (i.e. the developer) and IAG members.
