Help Us Make the Fort Point Channel
“The Next Great Place In Boston”
Great public spaces make a great city, but they don’t happen by accident.
They require careful thought, hard work, attention to detail and perseverance.
They also require your participation!
Please join the Fort Point Channel Working Group at two Virtual Listening Sessions
and share your thoughts on ways to activate the watersheet and make the
244-284 A Street Project and Fort Point Channel’s Seawall Basin an inclusive, equitable, active and inviting destination for all the residents of our city.
To request live interpretation at the Listening Session please email info@savetheharbor.org
About the Fort Point Channel Watersheet Activation Plan
In May of 2000 the City of Boston asked Save the Harbor/Save the Bay, The Boston Harbor Association, The Boston Children’s Museum and the Fort Point Channel Abutters to convene a working group to draft a plan to activate the Fort Point Channel’s watersheet, and make the Fort Point Channel the next great place in the city, an active, inviting and welcoming place for all Bostonians, the region’s resident and visitors alike.

Since then the “Hub of the Channel” from the old Northern Avenue Bridge to the Congress Street Bridge has become just that, with a mix of uses including offices, residences, hotels, retail and restaurants. It is also home to the iconic Tea Party Ship and Museum, The Boston Children’s Museum, Martin Richards Park, as well as a terrific harbor walk, water taxi stops and new docks where people can actually touch the harbor.
In May of 2022 the Boston Planning and Development Agency, the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection’s Waterways Program and Related Beal have asked us to reconvene the Fort Point Channel Working Group and host two inclusive workshops to find ways to activate the watersheet in the Seawall Basin, where several proposed projects, including Related Beal’s 244-284 A Street Project, are in the planning process.
Please join the Fort Point Channel Working Group at two Virtual Listening Sessions and share your thoughts on ways to activate the watersheet and make the 244-284 A Street Project and the Fort Point Channel’s Seawall Basin an inclusive, equitable, active and inviting destination for all the our city’s residents.
