SUMMARY:Support the Future of Franklin Park- Shattuck Campus Planning Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Download Handout (PDF) \nRSVP & Share on Facebook \nOn Tuesday\, June 25th at 6:30\, the third and final Shattuck Campus Planning Community meeting will be held at the Golf course Clubhouse\, and we encourage Franklin Park Coalition members and park neighbors to attend. The Shattuck Campus is a 13-acre site that was transferred in the 1950s\, from the City’s park to the Commonwealth\, to build a hospital. Due to the deteriorating condition of the hospital building\, it will be moving to a new building the Commonwealth purchased from Boston Medical Center in the South End. Current vendors\, exclusively providing substance use recovery and shelter services\, were not given space in the new facility. A planning process to determine the best public health use of the property began in 2018. \nDesign & Program Development Requests & Feedback \nWe hope that any future users of the site feel welcome in the park. As participants in the Shattuck Campus Planning Community Advisory Board over the past year\, the Franklin Park Coalition has sought creativity in the redesign and a focus on the public health benefit of urban parks. The plan at this stage is vague\, which has impeded our ability to give detailed feedback prior to this final meeting. We are encouraged by the agreement to prioritize green design and participate in a further development review process (Article 80).  However\, on the program side\, we seek more information to avoid any potential impacts on the park. Given the campus’ remote location and our City’s complicated experience with concentrating recovery services\, we request a full review of best practices for addictions services programs design. We also suggest that community members ask for the following ten items be included in the Plan and subsequent Request for Proposals (RFP): \nDownload a Handout of these questions and background info to bring to the meeting (PDF). \n\nIncrease continuity and connection between the park and campus\, and coordinate closely with the City of Boston’s upcoming Franklin Park Master Planning effort.\nPreference for as much open space as possible\, by increasing potential building density (vs. sprawl/ parking lots)\, providing conservation easements or returning land where possible to the park- and determining this amount before issue an RFP.\nAs a good park neighbor\, establish a high standard for site maintenance that creates and sustains a park-like environment where the park and site meet. During any construction\, avoid disrupting park use.\nShift all vehicle access from the interior of the park to a new Morton Street vehicle entrance.\nIncrease the frequency of transit and shuttles. Improve the safety of bus stops\, bike paths\, and pedestrian routes.\nLease to supportive housing and public health vendors that benefit a diverse range of issues and bring people together in this space\, as currently occurs at the Shattuck Hospital.\nCreate park amenities on the campus to leverage its unique public health benefits for both campus users and the general public (visitor center\, exercise equipment\, playgrounds\, etc.).\nOffer workforce development programming that connects to the special park environment and encourages supportive housing residents’ connection to the community.\nMaintain Dept. of Public Health police and security presence on the campus for new vendors.\nMaintain the outpatient/temporary (i.e.\, methadone clinics) vs. inpatient (i.e.\, supportive housing/detox) ratios of the current Shattuck Hospital services\, with a priority for inpatient services.\n\nInvitation Details: \nThe Commonwealth\, with a consultant team and community input\, is engaging in a visioning or planning process – through June 2019 — to make recommendations for the future use of the Campus. Franklin Park Coalition is a member of the Advisory Board on this process. The next community meeting is at at the Golf Clubhouse in Franklin Park. Doors open at 5:45 pm and dinner is provided. A Spanish interpreter will be provided for the meeting. Written materials will be available in English\, Spanish and Haitian Creole. \nYou can find the slide presentation from Community Meeting 1 & 2 and additional background information about the planning process on www.mass.gov/shattuckcampusplanning.

SUMMARY:Franklin Park Walk: Parks for the Public
DESCRIPTION:Past and Future of open space Franklin Park’s Heathfield\nSunday\, April 28\, 11 am-12 pm\, Meet at the Tennis Courts in front of Shattuck Hospital \nHistoric Franklin Park Map \nHosted by: Franklin Park Coalition\, Emerald Necklace Conservancy \nSave the date for a spring walk in historic Franklin Park and learn about its history and continuing purpose as a public health solution to Boston’s urban challenges. This walk will include the gorgeous new Scarboro Pond Pathways and the area surrounding the current Shattuck Campus site. The park was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted\, considered the father of American landscape architecture.  \nThe walk will be led by Mark Swartz\, a former National Park Service Ranger at Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site\, the one-time home\, and office of America’s greatest urban park designer. In addition\, an update on the status of the Shattuck Campus will be given by JoAnn Robinson\, chair of the Emerald Necklace Conservancy’s Board of Overseers and a Landscape Historian. \nCurrently\, the Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance (DCAMM) is proposing redeveloping the land surrounding the Shattuck Hospital\, as the hospital is moving downtown. This land was historically part of Franklin Park\, called Heathfield. As park advocates\, we are encouraging creative reuse of the space to restore significant open space instead of increasing development. The restoration of public open space is in keeping with Olmsted’s philosophy of parks contributing to public health. We hope to provide much-needed public health-focused recreation opportunities to our community. Learn more about the site and its history in person during the Parks for Public health walk. Snacks provided to start the walk.  \nWhile RSVPs are not required\, you can email RSVP@franklinparkcoalition.org to get updates and reminders of the event.
