Building on his Resilient Boston Harbor plan to enhance Boston’s waterfront and protect vulnerable neighborhoods from s ea level rise and coastal flooding due to climate change, Mayor Martin J. Walsh today released two reports, "Coastal Resilience Solutions for Downtown Boston and North End" and "Coastal Resilience Solutions for Dorchester" . The reports are rooted in Imagine Boston 2030 and advance the work of Climate Ready Boston, the City’s initiative to develop solutions to prepare Boston for the impacts of climate change. The strategies presented in each report outline a roadmap for near- and long-term solutions to protect from coastal flooding, increase access and open space along the waterfront, and enhance the public-private collaboration necessary for stakeholders in each neighborhood required for successful transformation and protection.
