Dot Block | Dot Ave, Greenmount St, Hancock St | Dorchester

Definitely worth it to get rid of the massive 5 story above ground parking garage that there would have been otherwise.

With the change the amount of retail went down a bit, but the number or units went from 362 to 488, which is huge! This housing is desperately needed and 500 units a short walk from the red line is exactly the type of development needed.


Totally agree. The City's obsessions with signals is so frustrating, as is how often they make the timing absolutely horrible.

I think it makes sense here because this development is adding a new 2 way street to the side of pleasant/hancock creating a new 4 way intersection.

Its probably going to have a good amount of traffic coming from that side as well because its adding a one way street coming from dot ave so people who will want to skip having to take a left at the light on hancock will be able to cut straight across from dot ave.

There is so much about this that is really great.

Minor gripe, I drove through the temporary intersection at Pleasant and Hancock. It is chaos. There doesn't seem to be any signage helping people get through there before the lights are on. This is Boston, people aren't going to treat non-functional stop lights as stop signs.
 
Updates today from the site. Wondering what retail along Dot Ave will be.
