Fairmount Indigo Corridor
For the Boston Redevelopment Authority, Shook Kelley, in conjunction with The Cecil Group (Boston), was part of a community-wide planning initiative for the 9.2 mile MBTA Fairmont Indigo commuter rail corridor, to establish parallel economic and physical development strategies to benefit the increasingly connected neighborhoods, as this commuter line is steadily transformed via new and existing connections into an urban transit line as it passes through South Boston.
This comprehensive planning process organized by the Boston Redevelopment Authority recognizes the dramatic shifts in the quality of life that can be associated with new mobility along the existing Fairmont Indigo Line. The benefits of the transit reinvestment can be accelerated through strategic actions that provide innovative links between jobs, businesses, education, and housing – better linking an entire segment of the City to the institutions, amenities and cultural life that distinguishes Boston. Quality of life is also linked to the quality of place that can be strengthened with focused redevelopment of the public realm, drawing private reinvestment around the transit nodes. Shook Kelley and The Cecil Group prepared a brand strategy to reposition the underserved communities along the route within the larger Boston metropolitan context. At the foundation of the entire process was extensive community outreach and participation.
