Hazmat Truck Re-Routing Proposal

Filed under: Boston Waterfront Luxury Buildings, North End Boston, North End Luxury Condos, North End Waterfront Condos, Waterfront Boston. • Tags: , . By

Driving through Boston can be a tricky business – especially if you’re driving a truck carrying hazardous material. The fiery truck accident on Route 1 in Saugus in July made many people much more aware of the potential threat of a hazardous material truck accident in the city of Boston.

Hazmat Truck Accident in Saugus MA

Hazmat Truck Explosion on Route 1 in Saugus

Currently streets going through the North End – including Atlantic Ave., Commercial St., Cross St. and North Washington St. – experience 100+ hazmat trucks each day. The consequences of an accident as bad as the hazmat truck explosion in July would be disastrous in the city of Boston. Many concerned residents of the North End and Waterfront District attended the public hearing held at the Massachusetts Department of Transportation’s headquarters last week to voice their opinions regarding the re-routing of pass-through trucks from Boston streets to highways outside the city such as Route 128. Based upon the 182-page public safety analysis conducted by an independent, Ohio-based research company it has been strongly recommended that the trucks be re-routed to highways outside of the city. While the majority of city officials, including Mayor Menino, support the proposed re-routing of these pass-through hazmat trucks there is opposition from the trucking companies as a result of the increased time and cost that this re-routing would cause.

If you’re living in a North End apartment you should vote to have these trucks re-routed to highways outside of the city. In the upcoming weeks similar public hearings will be held in suburbs such as Quincy, Waltham and Stoneham. Additionally, residents and businesses can comment on the proposal via email at bostonhazmat@state.ma.us until September 23rd. To read the full article about the hazmat truck re-routing click here.

On July 27, the Saint Joseph Society, a charitable organization based in Boston’s North End, put on the Historic Unity Celebration.  This event was intended to pay homage to the cultures and traditions of the many ethnic groups that have immigrated through Boston’s North End and are now such a strong part of the Boston community.

Although Boston’s largest present-day Chinese population resides in Chinatown, many Chinese entered Boston via the North End. The program featured multiple Chinese dance and musical performances, including a guest dance appearance by one of Shanghai’s most acclaimed dancers!  See more here: http://www.northendwaterfront.com/home/2011/8/3/chinese-music-and-dance-at-the-historic-unity-celebration-in.html

Additionally this condo features two balconies which also overlook the harbor – perfect for relaxing on a summer afternoon. But this space isn’t only great during the summer. In the winter, the beautiful light oak floors visually warm the entire space and a wood-burning fireplace in the living room provides a cozy escape from those chilly Boston winters.

Another benefit of living in this fabulous building right on the water is the fact that it comes with two mooring slips. If you’re an avid sailor and are searching for the perfect Boston waterfront real estate, Burroughs Wharf No. 311 could be the place for you!

Another Happy CL Waterfront Properties Client!

Carmela Laurella, President of CL Waterfront Properties recently assisted a Boston Waterfront property owner with the sale of her home after she and her husband were dissatisfied with the original agency they signed with.  CL Waterfront was pleased to have received the following testimonial about our service:

“Carmela recently helped us sell our beautiful waterfront property in Boston.  We first signed up with another agency, but no serious offers, so after three months, we signed with Carmela.  What a difference!

She immediately found a lovely couple who wanted to buy the unit but needed to sell their home in CA.  Since it was the worst part of the recession and winter was beginning in Boston, we agreed thinking a sale was not likely for the condo.

When they were not able to buy it, Carmela put it back on the market and it sold within 2 weeks at 98% of the asking price.  She was able to generate numerous showings.  I think she is the ultimate professional.  I could not offer a higher recommendation for Carmela at CL Waterfront Properties.  She is the best.”
