The Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA) is looking to integrate guidelines developed for S. Huntington Avenue into the City zoning code.
The BRA completed the community-requested South Huntington Avenue Framework for Future Development Review in May 2013.
On May 21, the BRA will host a community meeting to “ensure that the guidelines have captured the vision of South Huntington Corridor between Perkins Street and Huntington Avenue,” according to a BRA email sent out this week. The meeting will be held at the Hennigan Elementary School, 200 Heath St.
The guidelines address the types of developments preferred by the community and is be used by the BRA on pending and future projects. The four-month process of coming up with guidelines came at residents’ request due to controversial developments at 161 and 105A S. Huntington Ave.

Tell me, how do these NIMBYs see "the vision of South Huntington Corridor between Perkins Street and Huntington Avenue"? From where I stand, and I walk through the area at least 3 times each week, the area is ripe, indeed, sorely in need of, development. The brick rowhouses flanking South Huntington are shabby; the Back of the Hill development, while kept up, stands alone in a sea of low-rise sprawl; and the neighborhoods behind the corridor are drab, depressed, and often dangerous. If one wants a taste of the neighborhood's history, just head down Heath Street. Leave South Huntington to the developers.
