Last year, former Councilor Kenzie Bok’s office counted 51 vehicles and 413 people walking here in a 45-minute period. Despite having over four times as many pedestrians as vehicles, this space is primarily dedicated to cars. To meet this need, we plan to transform the space into a pedestrian-focused vibrant public plaza. On June 15th, during Fenway Porchfest, BTD staff will be present for a one-day activation of the potential future New Edgerly Plaza. Stop by, enjoy the space for people, and share your thoughts!

 Join the community members and family of Paula and Charlie Titus at a grand opening ceremony to celebrate the completion of the park. Paula Titus Park was established as a new park in 2017 and was designed by CBA Landscape Architects. This park is dedicated in memory of Paula Pina Titus, who was born to and raised in a proud Cape Verdan family in Taunton, MA. Paula moved to Boston and settled on Fort Avenue in 1974 where she resided for four decades. Paula’s passion for love and Roxbury was unwavering. Please join us to celebrate the completion of the new developed park.
