Summary & Goals
The Project builds off of the climate vulnerability analysis and resilient strategies developed through Climate Ready Boston Coastal Resilient Solutions for Dorchester (2020) to analyze site conditions and develop implementable design options to protect the Dorchester waterfront and community from future sea level rise and coastal storm events. The Climate Ready Dorchester initiative provided a technical analysis of the timing and location of current and future flood events, and developed conceptual designs for resilience informed by Dorchester stakeholders and residents. The Project is further analyzing existing site conditions and advancing design solutions to address a near-term critical flood entry point at Tenean Beach via Conley Street under the I-93 expressway.

Community Engagement
Thursday, March 30, 2023 | 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM
The Boston Planning & Development Agency (BPDA) and the City of Boston are building off of the climate vulnerability analysis and resilient strategies developed through Climate Ready Boston (2016) and Coastal Resilience Solutions for Dorchester (2020) to analyze site conditions and develop implementable design options to protect the Dorchester waterfront and community from future sea level rise and coastal storm events.
This virtual workshop will focus on reintroducing the community to Climate Ready Dorchester as well as provide basic information of conceptual locations for flood resilient strategies at Tenean Beach / Conley Street in order to manage current and future community flooding.
