Help Shape the Decision: Game Day Parking Protection Programs
The City is proposing two parking programs for Boston Legacy FC game days to prevent game spectators from parking within Franklin Park or surrounding neighborhood streets and we are looking for residents to help inform the final decision.
How Game-Day Parking Protection Programs Could Work
The two proposed parking protection programs will only activate during the 20 Boston Legacy game days per year for a 5-hour period (2 hours before a game, the duration of the game, and 1 hour after). If implemented, these programs include:
Resident street parking protection
Should parking on streets within a 0.75 mile zone near the stadium be preserved for only residents and their visitors on game days? Eligible streets within this zone, roughly a 15-minute walk, are in purple below.
We are asking residents who live on streets in Roxbury and Jamaica Plain within the proposed zone to inform this decision. The map and full list of eligible streets are listed below.
Franklin Park parking protection program
Should parking at Franklin Park be preserved for zoo goers, golfers, event permit holders and causal park users and restricted to Boston Legacy game goers on game days? If so, how long should casual park users be able to park?
Survey responses from the nearby neighborhoods of Roxbury, Jamaica Plain, Dorchester, and Mattpan will help inform the City’s decision on this proposed program.
