Summary
The Wharf District Council meeting covered a wide range of development, business, and community updates. Key discussions included the introduction of Special Enforcement Zones (SEZs) along several downtown streets, with proposed short-term test cases to deter traffic violations despite enforcement challenges. Several projects and businesses are seeking WDC support, including Boston Claw, a family-friendly amusement game center at 200 State Street; a residential conversion of 75 Central (150 Milk St.); a new Rowes Wharf restaurant, 1928; and a tattoo parlor at 150 State St. Updates from the Boston Public Market highlighted its 10th anniversary, the upcoming Harvest Party fundraiser, and the retirement of CEO Cheryl Cronin.
Community updates featured fall activities throughout the neighborhood. The Rose Kennedy Greenway team is undertaking horticultural improvements, tree replacements, lighting additions, and preparing for a public meeting on their strategic plan. Seasonal events include the Fall Festival at Rowes Wharf Plaza, movie nights on the Greenway, and the Columbus Park Fall Festival. Other highlights included Scroll & Stroll walking tours, a Boston Harbor City Cruises event with reality TV guests, and Fort Point Open Studios. The WDC was also approached by the Boston Globe to share insights on storm vulnerability in Boston.
