Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boston's Seaport District comprises approximately 1,000 acres of mixed-use residential, commercial and industrial space, which fosters innovation, collaboration and entrepreneurship. Development in the area is occurring fast. Projects that have been completed, proposed, or approved by the Boston Redevelopment Authority as of March 2014 add 10 million square feet of development. Long-term forecasts for the area estimate that an additional 21 million square feet of development will be constructed in the Seaport District by 2030. The overall objective of this thesis is to explore strategies to ensure the Seaport District will have multimodal transportation access to accommodate future economic development. More specific objectives of the thesis are listed as follows: > Lessen road congestion at specific intersections and major streets. > Optimize Silver Line operations. > Improve local bus service. > Assess and enhance bus-priority and parking policies. Thus, the main goals in this thesis are to improve the mobility, accessibility and sustainability of the Seaport District by providing more and higher quality public transport and discouraging access by private car. The evaluation of the public transport and road networks revealed the key weaknesses and issues in the area. The in-depth analyses of the short-term, medium-term, and long-term conditions then illustrated the potential future problems and proposed solutions to address those problems. It was concluded that operational changes in both the transit and road networks can address the issues raised in the short-term. Capital and operational changes are recommended for the medium-term. In the long-term, significant capital improvements and strict parking policies are proposed in order to accommodate the forecast demand.

This book was released on 2008-11-10 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discusses how the dream of a megaproject is realized, elucidates the various demands, and explains why it takes years to materialize. It asserts that a megaproject is any project that requires a great deal of management courage, capital, patience, and well-conceived plans. And that managing a megaproject is more than managing a major construction effort; it is also managing a public responsibility with the concomitant management accountability and transparency. It advances the Big Dig as the case study megaproject of record, because none of the other notable megaprojects in the 20th century can boast the paradoxes and the lessons that the Big Dig provides. It affirms that leadership engagement, imagination, and political alignment, facilitate the realization of such dream. It espouses good planning and invokes foresight considerations as a sine qua non for getting the right strategic gaps closed, the misdeeds avoided and the right mechanics applied for a successful project outcome.
