Boston 2024 Bid Book

NUMBER 1:
OVER ALL GAMES CONCEPT
December 1, 2014
Mr. Larry Probst, Chairman
Mr. Scott Blackmun, Chief Executive Officer
United States Olympic Committee
Dear Mr. Probst and Mr. Blackmun:
On behalf of the Boston 2024 Partnership, we are honored, humbled and excited to share Bostons
compelling story and our vision for a partnership with the United States Olympic Committee to host the
2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Boston is overwhelmingly united in its bid for the 2024 Games because we are a city passionate about the
power of sport. Bostons public officials, business and educational leadership and community stakeholders
are all committed to delivering a transformative and sustainable 2024 Games. Bostons higher education
community will make a profound impact in the lives of Olympic and Paralympic athletes now and through
2024. Bostons research labs, world-class medical centers, and technology-driven economy will bring
unprecedented innovation to the planning and delivery of the 2024 Games, as well as an unparalleled
experience for Olympians and Paralympians. Boston developing a sustainable Games model with a
responsible, achievable budget and legacy owners for Olympic and Paralympic venues. Bostons uniquely
walkable layout with venues clustered around the Waterfront and University Precincts leverages the
entire Boston city center as the Olympic Park, and we will put all of our campuses, public spaces and
parks, boulevards and waterways to use in hosting the Games. We firmly believe that working in close
partnership with the United States Olympic Committee, Boston 2024 can provide a blueprint for future
host cities as to the master planning of the Games, delivery of the Games and, most importantly, the
experience of the athletes.
The Boston 2024 bid is an opportunity to engage in a community-wide conversation about our future
vision for our city, not just in 2024, but in 2030, on the 400th anniversary of the founding of Boston and
beyond. The bid is also a catalyst for much of the investment and innovation that will be required to achieve
that vision. Our Olympic and Paralympic bid will serve to accelerate improvements to transportation,
infrastructure and housing including investments in a major redevelopment project at the heart of the city,
thousands of new affordable housing units, new urban green spaces and dramatic upgrades to the citys
already world-class public transit system. Hosting the Games will also strengthen cooperation across the
government, business and academic communities and reinforce Bostons brand as a global hub for education,
health care and innovation. Welcoming the world to Boston for the Olympic and Paralympic Games is
also a chance to attract new artists, educators, entrepreneurs and builders who are the foundation of our
communitys vibrant and innovative culture.
Thank you again for the opportunity to present our vision for a sustainable and transformative 2024 Olympic
and Paralympic Games. We look forward to continuing our partnership with you and your entire team at the
United States Olympic Committee.
Sincerely,
John F. Fish Dan OConnell

Chairman President
Boston 2024 Partnership

FOR THE GAMES
Proposed Dates for the Games

State your proposed dates to host the 2024 Olympic
and Paralympic Games and specify your reasons.
The Olympic Games in Boston would be held

from Friday, July 19, to Sunday, August 4, 2024. The
Paralympic Games would be held from Wednesday,
August 14, to Sunday, August 25, 2024. This period
of time offers the optimal climate for athletic
competition. The dates are well coordinated with
the international sport calendar and would ensure
that the Games will be the preeminent event in
the United States. Summer holidays for colleges,
secondary schools and teachers allow us to engage
a corps of enthusiastic volunteers and individuals
and families to attend the Games. In addition, we
have a unique opportunity to engage those who
are away for the summer in the Paralympic Games
as college students begin to return to campuses
toward the end of August.

MOTIVATION
3.1 MOTIVATION
3.1.1 Motivation
Outline your principal motivation for hosting
the Games.
The identity of Boston is one of forward progress,
a living legacy of innovation that defines and
motivates our city to drive forward, to discover, to
create, to inspire and to be inspired by big ideas
from every corner of the globe. With our sights
firmly fixed on 2030 and the 400th anniversary of
the City of Boston, we have identified our next great
opportunity to inspire and be inspired. Hosting
the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games will be
a catalyst to propel Boston forward, calling us to
envision what we strive to become, and motivating
us to work collaboratively in planning and
achievement of this vision.
14
M otivation N U M B E R 1: O V E R A L L G A M E S C O N C E P T 1 D E C E M B E R 2014
In Boston, we strive to be ever better. We are a

proud but driven people who intuitively subscribe
to the Olympic mantra Citius, Altius, Fortius - Faster,
Higher, Stronger. Bostonians view the opportunity
to host the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games as
a clear pathway in our pursuit of excellence. There
is the opportunity to elevate our thinking about
and expedite our execution of urban planning,
transportation improvements, infrastructure
upgrades and institutional master planning. We
see the opportunity to shine a light on and gain
increased participation in our vibrant arts and culture
community. And we see the opportunity to engage,
educate and inspire our young people to fall in love
with sport, to commit themselves to excellence and
to set out for greatness in all they attempt.
Each year, almost 250,000 young people from
around the world gather in Boston to attend our
colleges and universities. This city is where their

energy, optimism and ideas come together to dream
of whats next. As such, Boston truly embodies the
invitation of the International Olympic Committee,
delivered at the conclusion of each Games, for the
youth of the world to assemble.
We believe all of this will result in a world class
experience for the Olympic and Paralympic athletes
themselves, immersed within the citys rich fabric
of innovation and competing within a compact
community of overachievers who share a great
belief in the power of sport. Here in Boston, we are
committed to an Olympic experience where the
entire city is the Olympic Park, creating a sustainable
model for serving athletes and celebrating the
Olympic Movement for years to come.

CONCEPT EXPLANATION
4.1.1 Concept Explanation

Explain how your concept of the Olympic and
Paralympic Games fits into your city and regions
long-term planning strategy.
The planning concepts for the 2024 Olympic and
Paralympic Games are shaped by a shared vision
for Boston 2030 the 400th anniversary of the
citys founding.
Boston is a geographically compact city with diverse
historic and contemporary assets. The city boasts an
unrivaled waterfront and Americas cleanest urban
harbor, a network of celebrated park spaces and
public recreation venues, a history of independence
and historic architecture. Boston is also home to
world-renowned academic and medical institutions,
a hub of innovation and invention, and a vibrant,
expansive economy.
For the past 400 years, this city has consistently
developed and redeveloped its valuable land
resources to the maximum benefit of its people and
economy. The city has undertaken some remarkably
large and complex projects from early land
reclamation to later infrastructure reclamation, and
recent air rights development.
As we look to the future, significant demand for
expansion is projected for the innovation economy.
The City of Boston anticipates the need in the
next 20 years for 50,000 new residences in Boston
alone and the creation of 100,000 new jobs. To
sustain the innovation economy and to attract the
talent which will fill the innovation jobs, there are
a number of areas where the city must focus in the
next two decades:
Continued infill through infrastructure reorganization
Continued improvements to transportation and
smart mobility
Improved resiliency for climate change
Greater access to waterfront and amenities
History + Geography
The City of Boston and its core are a compact
geography of 48 square miles of land. This compact
geography has been consistently developed and
redeveloped for the last 400 years through:
Land Reclamationmore than two-thirds of the citys
footprint did not exist when the city was founded.
Highway + Rail Infrastructureland takings that
penetrated through the heart of the city.
Infrastructure Reclamationthe Prudential Center
development, Copley Place, the Rose Kennedy
Greenway, Fan Pier and the South Boston Waterfront
and now Beacon Yards have all reclaimed valuable land
and made important connections.
This cycle persists as the city continues to densify
the core, building a consistently more livable,
sustainable and innovative city. Our proposed
venue sites - especially at Columbia Point, Midtown
and Beacon Yards - represent new opportunities
for significant infill development in the core of
the city. These growth corridors will add density
for economic development and make connections
between neighborhoods currently separated.
Waterfront + Parks
Boston is a waterfront city with 47 miles of
accessible waterfront. Nicknamed The Walking
City, Boston has one of the highest percentages of
pedestrian commuters in the country. Boston has the
most celebrated open space network in the country:
The Boston Common is the oldest public park in the
United States.
The Emerald Necklace is a string of parks designed by
Frederick Law Olmsted.
The Esplanade makes the Charles River accessible to all.
Enhanced quality of life for all residents

The marriage of innovation and sports infrastructure to
improve health and wellness
20
We offer our compact city as a canvas for the

Olympics. In turn, the strategic selection of sites for
Olympic venues offers opportunities to unlock land
areas which meet multiple objectives for the next
generations of Bostonians.
The Rose Kennedy Greenway reconnects the city to its

waterfront and the cleanest urban harbor in America.

4.1 CONCEPT EXPLANATION CONTINUED
The Games will engage the waterfront in both

competitive venues and celebration spaces while
showcasing our most precious places - Boston
Common, the Rose Kennedy Greenway, Boston
Harbor, Harvard Stadium and MITs Killian Court.
Youth + Innovation
Boston is the birthplace of the United States, and our
city is built on the belief that fresh ideas and hard
work can change the world. Grounded in our history
but looking to 2024 and beyond, today Boston is the
youngest major city in America, a hub of international
colleges and universities, and a home to the worlds
most innovative companies and institutions.
One in three Bostonians are between the ages of 20
and 35, the highest percentage of young adults of any
major US city. Twenty-six percent of these young adults
came to Boston after being born outside the United
States, and thirty-two percent speak a language other
than English at home.
Each fall, more than 250,000 students from around
the world arrive at metropolitan Bostons 90
colleges and universities, and their energy and
new ideas reinvigorate our city. In total, each year,
the Commonwealth hosts approximately 51,000
international students from more than 170 countries.
Our world-renowned higher educational institutions
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Harvard
University, Boston College, Boston University, and
Northeastern University, among many othersconvene
top international scholars and incubate their best ideas,
resulting in more innovation per capita per square mile
than any city in the world.
From a new medical device created by a startup at

MassChallenge, the worlds largest startup accelerator,
to a new app for fixing potholes built by the City of
Bostons Office of New Urban Mechanics, to a new
robotic ankle designed by one of MITs Media Labs,
Bostons public and private sector institutions are
focused on reinventing the way we live and making
our lives better. Recognizing this kind of missiondriven innovation, all 10 of largest global biopharma
companies have a presence in Massachusetts.
Massachusetts is also home to the top five NIH-funded
independent research hospitals and is the national
leader in patents issued per capita.
By leveraging its youth, its world-class institutions
and its culture of innovation, Boston will create
a sustainable blueprint for future host cities and
amplify the power of sport to create a better world.
4.1 CONCEPT EXPLANATION CONTINUED
Economic + Transportation Hub
A city connected to the U.S. and the world:
As one of the oldest cities in the U.S., Boston

serves as the major center of economic and cultural
life for New England. It is the hub of a regional
transportation system, with highway and rail
corridors radiating outward and deep into New
England. Boston is poised to successfully host the
2024 Olympics and Paralympics as:
Excellent interstate and regional highway access

with the recently completed $15 billion investment
in I-93/I-90 through downtown and to Logan
International Airport and $3 billion accelerated arterial
bridge reconstruction program.
A leader in public transportation:

Built and opened the first subway system in the U.S.
in 1897.
Hosts the fifth largest public transportation agency
in the country, with a fleet of 2,500 buses and
trains, and almost 900 miles of track and four water
transportation routes.
Serves more than 1.3 million customers on subway, bus,
rail and ferry services each weekday.
Is situated at the northern terminus of Amtraks
Northeast Corridor, the busiest high speed rail corridor
in the U.S. with a committed billion dollar investment
in enhanced access on the MBTA system.
A compact city that is conducive to walking
and bicycling:
With a robust network of paths and walkways, named
Americas third most-walkable city in 2013.
Served by six international airports in the region,

including Boston-Logan International Airport, located
1.5 miles from the downtown, with more than 45
million passengers annually.
As a port city which enjoys excellent water access with
ample ferry and cruise services.
Bringing the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games
to Boston is strategically aligned with who we are
and where we are going as a city:
Intense development of underutilized areas in the
urban core.
Continued engagement of our waterfront and
enhancement of open space.
Acceleration of our innovation economy.
The Boston 2024 Games will be a compact and
walkable Games, the City of Boston will be Olympic
Park at the heart of the city, at its reinvented
waterfront and in its cherished parks.
With a bicycle network that has doubled over the past

five years to approximately 120 miles.

LOCATION OF KEY INFRASTRUCTURE
4.2.1 Location of Key Infrastructure

Explain your motivation behind the choice of
location of key infrastructure (competition and
non-competition venues).
The overall venue plan for a compact Games in a
compact city is based on five simple principles:
Put the athletes and the sports first by offering a
compact city where 28 of the 33 venues are within a
10 kilometer radius.
Plan for meaningful and appropriate legacy in key
infrastructure and competitive venues - look forward to
2030 and look back to 2024.
Deliver our most precious physical assets to the Games
- our waterfront, our parks and our university campuses.
Establish two major clusters the Waterfront Cluster
and the University Cluster as anchors for the Games
with a series of important venues in between the
anchors at the backbone of the city the Back Bay and
the Charles River.
Make the Greenway, the Harbor and Fort Point Channel
the heart of the public celebration.
The 2024 Games are planned around two major
clusters and ten precincts accounting for 28 of 33
venues within a 10 kilometer radius.

The Village will enjoy direct access to the South
Boston Waterfront for recreation, a secure 100-acre
compound, being within one mile of the Olympic
Stadium and nine additional venues, and being within
five miles of 28 venues.
Located adjacent to the core of the UMass Boston
campus, 6,000 to 10,000 of the 16,500 beds will be
constructed prior to the Games as student housing to
accommodate the ambitious vision for Bostons only
public university.
Midtown
Home to a temporary 60,000 seat Olympic Stadium,
Midtown is located at the geographic heart of the
urban core with unparalleled access to transit MBTA
and commuter rail; highways I-93 and I-90; and
pedestrian pathways.
The opportunity proposition is simple: transform a
tangle of maintenance yards and city public works
buildings into a platform for entertainment and future
commercial development that transforms an urban scar
into a meaningful seam between neighborhoods.

SWOT ANALYSIS
5.1.1 SWOT Analysis

Provide a SWOT Analysis of your city. This should be
a realistic assessment of the strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities and threats your city could leverage or
have to confront during the international bid process.
Please also specifically address how you would
respond to questions about weaknesses or threats.
Strengths
Here in Boston, the Olympic Spirit is in our DNA.
We have many inherent strengths that we believe
make us the ideal host for the 2024 Olympic and
Paralympic Games.
We Are Conveners: Boston gathers the youth of the world
every year when 250,000 students come from around the
globe to our colleges and universities. We know how to
harness their energy and inspire their imaginations.
We Love Sport: Boston is a city obsessed with sports.
From professional teams to amateur athletics to youth
leagues, we play, we coach, we watch, we cheer and we
celebrate every victory. Whether at Fenway Park, at a
collegiate swim meet, in a high school gymnasium or on
a youth soccer pitch dominated by enthusiastic fiveyear-olds, we celebrate competition, sportsmanship and
athletics from a very young age.
We Are Innovators: Boston is an international hub
for research, technology and medical advancements,
generating the most innovation per capita per square
mile of any city in the world. Our academic, medical
and technology infrastructures are incubators for
great minds to push the limits of human thinking,
resulting in our states consistent top five ranking in
annual patent production.
We Are Compact: Boston is a walkable city, with one of
the highest percentages of pedestrian commuters in the
United States. Furthermore, we are connected by highways
and rail lines that connect people through the heart of
the city and allow us to deliver the majority of Olympic
events within three square miles.
We Have the Political Will: Led by Boston Mayor Martin
Walsh, government leaders from Boston and around
Massachusetts have indicated that they are supportive
of the bid for the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Local mayors, state legislators, Governor Deval Patrick and
members of the Massachusetts Congressional Delegation
have been open to discussion and are interested in
moving forward in the due diligence process.
32
We Are an International Destination: In 2013, Boston

and Cambridge hosted 19,000,000 total domestic and
international visitors, including 1,282,000 visitors
from overseas.
We Have the Physical Capacity: A feasibility study of a
2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games began in 2013. A
special legislative commission comprised of appointees
from the public and private sectors issued a report in
February 2014 which found that it would be feasible
for Boston and Massachusetts to host the 2024 Games
given the alignment between Olympic specifications and
existing economic development strategies, existing and
future hotel capacity, planned infrastructure investments
and workforce housing goals.
We Are a Living Monument: The Boston Common
became our countrys first public park in 1634. Harvard
University, Americas first institution of higher learning,
was founded in 1636. The Boston Public Library became
the countrys first free library in 1654. The countrys first
African-American meeting house was constructed here
in 1806. The MBTA is the nations first subway system,
starting travel in 1897 the same year the Boston
Marathon brought the sport to the United States. Fenway
Park, the nations oldest Major League Baseball park still
in use, held its inaugural game in 1912. Amidst a flurry of
forward movement, new construction and future planning,
our foundation is a tribute to a series of firsts, dating back
to the countrys earliest days.
We Are a City for the Peoplefor All People: Boston has
the most celebrated open-space network in the country.
The Boston Common, the Emerald Necklace, the Esplanade
and the Rose Kennedy Greenway provide a beautiful
and welcoming way for residents and visitors to connect
and enjoy the citys natural aesthetic. Furthermore,
Boston is a disabled-accessible city, with strict new-build
guidelines on accessibility and a commitment to making
even the oldest existing attractions welcoming to all
of our visitorsincluding Bostons most popular tourist
attraction, the Freedom Trail, which is accessible to
wheelchairs for its entire length.
We Strive to Be Ever BetterCitius, Altius, Fortius:
Boston is a proud city that constantly strives to be
Faster, Higher, Stronger. Yes, we are proud of our firstrate academic and medical institutions. Yes, we celebrate
our hometown sports teams and local heroes. However,
we never rest in our constant quest to be better. We
are never satisfied with last years success. We are ever
focused on driving forward. We know that hosting the
2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games is a catalyst that
will deliver the next generation of big ideas in our
constant pursuit of excellence.

5.1 SWOT ANALYSIS CONTINUED
Opportunities
Hosting the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic
Games would present a host of opportunities
for Boston, including:
Economic Development: Every sector of the Boston
and Massachusetts economy can benefit from hosting
the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. From longneeded infrastructure improvements to enhancements
on the campuses of our colleges and universities to
transportation upgrades that will help move people and
goods throughout the Commonwealth, the Games will be
a catalyst for growth and advancement.
Employment: Construction jobs are just the beginning
of the employment story. The five leading industries of
the Massachusetts economyFinancial Services, Higher
Education, Technology, Health Care & Life Sciences, and
Travel & Tourismall have the opportunity to play a
role not only in the Games themselves, but also in the
preparation for and legacy of the Games, from skills
training to innovative product and service development
that will be employed through and beyond 2024.
International Tourism: The opportunity to convene
the youth of the world in Boston is rivaled only by the
opportunity to showcase our city to the hundreds of
millions of viewers watching from around the globe. The
marketing opportunity of this scale for Bostons tourism
industry is truly once in a lifetime.
Neighborhood Development and Regeneration: With
the entire City of Boston acting as the Olympic Park, we
have the ability to connect every neighborhood to the
benefits of hosting the Games. From job opportunities and
skills training and the addition of student and workforce
housing, to increased participation in cultural activities
and the promotion of diversity and inclusion, the positive
impact on Bostons neighborhoods will be significant.
Improved Infrastructure: The legacy of hosting the
Games is most visibly identified by the improved
physical character of Greater Boston. Greater Boston will
take an exponential leap forward with a new Midtown
mixed-use neighborhood in the heart of the city, a new
student village at our public university, a renovated
public golf course at Franklin Park and the opportunity
to transform Somerville into the cycling capital of
Americain addition to all the major transportation and
transit upgrades that are already planned but need a
catalyst to complete.
Promotion of Diversity: Boston is proudly a minoritymajority city, where 53 percent of the population
is made up of people of color. Hosting the 2024
Olympic and Paralympic Games presents an enormous
opportunity to celebrate our proud diversity and
foster a deeper understanding of the communities
that make Boston a culturally rich city built on
immigrant traditions.
Expansion of Volunteerism: As the hub for 250,000
college students who descend on Boston every year,
we are uniquely positioned to tap into a magnificent
volunteer base. Hosting the 2024 Olympic and
Paralympic Games would motivate us to engage
with Generation Z years before they matriculate to
their respective universities, excite them about the
opportunity to participate and tap into their energy,
ideas and inherent ability to connect socially. We
can inspire them to be early ambassadors for the
Olympic Movement.
Education of Youth: Preparing to host the 2024
Olympic and Paralympic Games presents us with a
living syllabus. We have an opportunity to employ a
statewide Olympic history curriculum in our schools,
bring athletes into our classrooms and excite young
minds about the past, present and future of Olympism.
Increased Participation in Sport, including of
Disabled People: Growing excitement in the years
leading up to the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic
Games in Boston will inspire and engage the next
generation of youth in sport and athletics. Boston will
continue to deliver strong youth sports programs, as
well as develop new curricula focused on the Games
for athletes of all abilities.
International Status: Boston, once labeled the Hub
of the Universe, is very proud of its ability to draw
visitors, students and new residents from around
the globe. They come here for new opportunities, for
exposure to some of the best thinking and for the
excellent quality of life. However, Bostonians see the
2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games as a way to
elevate our international stature. The 2024 Games will
put Boston and all of our assets on a world stage like
no other opportunity in our history.

5.1 SWOT ANALYSIS CONTINUED
Weaknesses and Threats

While the positive opportunities catalyzed by
hosting the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games
far outweigh the challenges, Boston would put
plans in place to deal with the realities of hosting
the Games, including:
Land Acquisition and Control: Early indications show
that public and academic entities (which control the
majority of the land Boston would need to host the
Games) are willing and able to cooperate. However, we
want to manage these relationships and processes very
carefully so as not to run into any complications related
to venue siting and transportation planning. We are
working in close concert with city, state and quasi-public
entities to ensure a smooth and predictable process.
Community Concerns: Since we are at the very
beginning stages of socializing the idea of hosting
the 2024 Games among our local community, there
are many questions and concerns about any negative
impact on the local community. To ease concerns
about making this a Games hosted by the whole
city, not just parts of it, we are committed to
a transparent and open conversation with
community groups and have dedicated
resources to fostering a dialogue
that is fact-based and takes into
consideration the needs of
the community.
Optics of the Cost of the Games: Given recent media

reports about large scale sporting events and the
financial impacts on their host communities, people
in Massachusetts and Boston are in need of a realistic
education about the costs of the 2024 Olympic and
Paralympic Games. As part of our public relations
strategy, we will work from a realistic budget number
to manage expectations, clearly divide the costs
between public and private expenditures and actively
communicate the benefits of bidding for and hosting
the Games.
5.2
OUR CITYS VISION
5.2.1 Our Citys Vision

Discuss your plan regarding the development of the
narrative of your citys vision for hosting the Games,
indicating in broad terms how your city will benefit the
Olympic and Paralympic movements as well as
the long range plans of your city.
Boston is united behind its commitment to
delivering a transformative and sustainable 2024
Games. In particular, Bostons higher education
community is ready to make a profound impact in
the lives of Olympic and Paralympic athletes now
and through 2024. The Commonwealths academic
institutions will offer Olympian and Paralympian
educational opportunities to increase job placement
and combat economic hardship faced by athletes
during and after their competitive careers. Bostons
students view the Olympics and Paralympics as the
catalyst for a social change movement that inspires
the worlds youth. Bostons colleges and universities
are already developing a K-12 and college-level
curricula to promote the Olympic values and
enhance education through sport.
Bostons research labs, world-class medical
centers, and technology-driven economy will
bring unprecedented innovation to the planning
and delivery of the 2024 Games, as well as an
unparalleled experience for Olympians and
Paralympians. As just one example, Massachusettsbased institutions such as Spaulding Rehabilitation
Hospital, the Institute for Human Centered Design,
and MITs Herr Lab have served Paralympians for
more than two decades and are developing the
next generation of adaptive sports technology for
the 2024 Paralympic Games. Powered by Bostons
technological leadership, the US Paralympic Team
will achieve greater competitive success and the
elevated platform for the Paralympics will allow it
to achieve greater financial success.
Boston also has a sustainable Games model with a

responsible, achievable budget and legacy owners
for Olympic and Paralympic venues. Bostons
uniquely walkable layout with venues clustered
around the waterfront and university precincts
leverages the entire Boston city center as the
Olympic Park. The master plan for the Boston
Games places 28 of 33 Olympic venues within a
10 kilometer radius. The Harborwalk, the citys 47
miles of walkable waterfront, provides a unique
transportation route for pedestrians and bikers.
The Harborwalk also offers visitors with a seamless
connection to the Freedom Trail, the Rose Kennedy
Greenway, and the Emerald Necklace park system.
We firmly believe that Boston 2024 can provide
a blueprint for future host cities as to the master
planning of the Games, delivery of the Games, and,
most importantly, the experience of the athletes.
Our bid is also an opportunity to initiate a
community discussion around the vision for
Boston in 2024, in 2030, the 400th anniversary of
the founding of Boston, and beyond. Hosting the
Games will be motivation to work collaboratively to
plan for and achieve this vision. The Olympics and
Paralympics will serve to accelerate investments
in transportation and smart mobility as well as
affordable housing that are necessary to continue
to attract the top talent behind our innovation
economy. Our proposed Olympic precincts
especially at Columbia Point, Fort Point, and
Beacon Yards represent new opportunities for
development in the heart of the city that will serve
as critical connections between currently divided
neighborhoods. Hosting the Games will also
showcase Boston as a global hub for education,
health care, and innovation. Welcoming the world
to Boston for the Olympic and Paralympic Games is
also a chance to attract new artists, educators, and
entrepreneurs and inspire our own young people
who are at the foundation of our communitys
vibrant and diverse culture.

UNIQUE AND COMPELLING CITY EXPERIENCES
5.3.1 Unique and Compelling City Experiences

Describe the unique and compelling experiences
that each of the audiencesincluding athletes,
media, International Federations, National Olympic
Committees, IOC members, sponsors, dignitaries,
spectators, workforce members and volunteers
will enjoy in your city.
The most geographically compact Olympic and
Paralympic Games held in the modern era will
provide much more than unprecedented proximity
to venues and events for each of our many
important audiences. With our entire city comprising
the Olympic Park, we will facilitate a central hub
from which all of Bostons (and New Englands)
world-class offerings in culture, innovation,
academics, geographical beauty and more will be
accessible and easily within reach.
Included in this unique experience, our guests
will encounter:
Boston at Eye-Level: This city is meant to be
experienced on foot; theres a reason we are among
the most walkable cities in the U.S. and have one of
the highest percentage of pedestrian commuters in
the country. Boston is a city that has been physically
transformed with the pedestrian in mind, with
greenways and bike lanes replacing highways and
overpasses. In a single afternoon stroll, our guests can
experience the bustle of the South Boston Waterfront
and the beauty of our public gardens. They can retrace
the steps of our earliest settlers downtown and behold
cutting-edge tech breakthroughs in Cambridge. To walk
Boston is to prove that, sometimes, its about the journey
and not the destination.
World-Class Cultural Offerings: From the stunning

collections housed within the Museum of Fine Arts to
one of the nations largest centers for contemporary
performing and visual arts at Mass MoCA nestled at
the foothills of the Berkshires; from the vaulted halls
of the Boston Symphony Orchestra to sidewalk jazz
performances by Berklee College of Music students,
and pop concerts overlooking the Charles River at
the Hatch Shell and the rolling hills of Tanglewood in
Western Massachusetts; from Broadway-caliber theater
to incredible street performancesBoston and the
broader Commonwealth offers unparalleled cultural
excursions and events for all interests and ages.
Access to Academic Institutions: We will open
the doors of many of our prestigious colleges and
universities within the greater Boston area, including
Harvard and MIT, so that our guests from around the
world can experience firsthand the thought leadership,
breakthroughs and innovation taking place within our
classrooms, lecture halls and labs each day.
Local Culinary Charm: Boston is truly an international
city, but at our core we also boast an intensely local
identity when it comes to our regional cuisine, inspired
by and culled from the vast bounties of fish and
shellfish that populate our waters. We want to share
the comfort of a cup of New England clam chowder
with the world, sit communally at a picnic table and eat
lobsters with plastic bibs and host authentic clambakes
on the beach.
A Gateway to New England: Within a short road trip
or quick train or bus ride, many of the unique natural
gifts of New England await our guests and during the
precise time of the year when theyre in full bloom: the
craggy shores and idyllic countrysides of Maine, pristine
beaches and rolling dunes of Cape Cod, lush forests and
Green Mountains of Vermont and the majestic harbor
and waterfront vistas of Newport. There is nothing
quite like summer in New England.
5.4
DELIVERY OF THE GAMES
5.4.1 Delivery of the Games

Explain the most significant challenges to the
development, management and delivery of Games
venues and infrastructure, and Games operations in
your city.
Our primary planning principle is Compact Games
in a Compact City. The Boston 2024 Olympic
and Paralympic Games will be a compact and
walkable Games; the City of Boston will be our
Olympic Park. With that planning objective
comes a great opportunity and our most significant
challenges to the development, management
and delivery of Games venues, infrastructure and
Games operations. We have a long track record,
however, of delivering context-sensitive design
and construction of major infrastructure and
redevelopment projects that improve the quality
of life and competitiveness of our city, as well as
a century of experience hosting major events that
attract millions of visitors annually.
The vast majority of our competition and noncompetition venues are located on land controlled
by public entities and the citys great academic
institutionsminimizing the requirements for
private land acquisition. For areas like Midtown, we
must relocate key transit and public works functions.
While this is a requirement for use of the land, we
will demonstrate that these relocations represent
opportunities for consolidation of facilities, new
efficiency of operations and the unlocking of legacy
real estate value.
The challenges for Games management are again

related to the compactness of the venues: the
business of the city and all its residents must go
on. We have excellent transit and transportation
infrastructure in place and a plan for both
temporary and permanent improvements that will
support the simultaneous essential functions of
the city. Our legacy planning model and transport
management systems will provide predictable
outcomes for mobility, security and emergency
services, unparalleled in Games history.
We will be able to draw on a highly educated and
energetic local workforce, including our large
college-age populations. We will strive to surpass
all previous Olympics in the effective training of
volunteers. Our universities have already stepped
forward with initiatives for recruitment and training.
And, we will deliver. We are doers who are focused
on the big challengewith extraordinary expertise
in technology, the commitment of our great
institutions and business leaders and the relentless
perseverance of a proud people that embraces the
Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Introduction
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The Boston 2024 team is delighted to submit

our Key Venue Plan. We recognize that the
Olympic Stadium, the Athletes Village and the
International Broadcast Center/Main Press Center
represent strategic anchors for the Games as
well as important commitments of physical and
financial resources.
Our proposals for these three anchors reflect
our commitment to three fundamental
planning principles:
Put the athletes and the sports first by offering a
compact Games
Plan for meaningful and appropriate legacy in key
infrastructure and venues look forward to 2030 and
look back to 2024.
Add value to the core of the city, building a consistently
more livable, sustainable and innovative city.
The Olympic Stadium at Midtown, the Athletes
Village at Columbia Point/UMass Boston and the
IBC/MPC at the South Boston Waterfront form a
triangle, the sides of which are approximately one
mile. Each of these anchors is planned for legacy:
At Midtown, key infrastructure improvements will
be the catalyst for the legacy development of a new
mixed-use neighborhood in the heart of the city.
The Athletes Village will provide six thousand beds
of legacy housing for UMass Boston, transforming the
citys only public research university into a residential
campus with greater opportunities for teaching and
research expansion.
The IBC/MPC at the South Boston Waterfront is in
the heart of the innovation economy with a building
infrastructure readily convertible for science and
technology uses.
We are always open to your input and
improvements. We look forward to your review of
our submission and to making the Boston Olympic
Plan even better.

2.1 LOCATION AND USAGE CONTINUED
2.1.3 Current Use

What is the current use of the land/stadium?
The five principal parcels are used as follows:
City of Boston uses 17.8 acres for public works storage,
a parking garage salt shed and a tow lot.
Commonwealth of Massachusetts uses 2.0 acres
for maintenance; the MBTA uses 23.1 acres for bus
maintenance, fueling and washing and for train set
maintenance; .85 acre controlled by Commonwealth of
Massachusetts Highways is unused.
New Boston Food Market uses 16.4 acres for a
wholesale food distribution facility. The New Boston
Food Market is a cooperative, and the facility is
currently underutilized and for sale.
ART Mortgage Borrower controls 4.7 acres which
houses a cold storage facility related to the New
Boston Food Market.
National Railroad Passenger controls a segment of rail
bed totaling 1.4 acres.
2.1.4 Access for Use
What access for use has been negotiated?
Boston 2024 has had detailed discussions with
senior representatives of the Commonwealth,
the MBTA, Amtrak and the City of Boston about
relocation of existing facilities and overbuild of
existing rail lines. Discussions have been positive
with all involved agencies who are supportive of
the planning initiatives.
2.1.5 Obtaining the Land

What is the process required to obtain the land
for development?
The process for land assembly for the Olympic
Stadium at Midtown will include several strategies:
It is proposed that land currently controlled by
the City of Boston and by the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts will be assembled by means of the
expanded authority of existing public agencies or
the creation of a new public agency dedicated to this
task. Maintenance and service functions currently
located on these parcels will be relocated off site
in a consolidated configuration with other similar
functions to achieve operational efficiency.
Privately held land, controlled by the New Boston Food
Market and ART Mortgage Borrower, is currently being
offered for sale. It is anticipated that this land can be
obtained and consolidated with the surrounding public
parcels under a single authority.
Air-rights above rail tracks used by both the MBTA and
Amtrak will be secured, and those air-rights will be
consolidated with the surrounding parcels under the
same authority.
2.1.6 Securing a Lease
For an existing stadium, what are the steps required
to secure a lease for use?
Not applicable. Boston 2024 proposes new,
temporary stadium construction.

2.1.7 Adaptations of the Stadium

What exclusive and non-exclusive use is required in
order to achieve the adaptations of the stadium and
the use of the stadium for test events and the Games?
2.1.8 Permitting Challenges
What challenges are anticipated for permitting
(zoning, environmental, etc.) for the construction,
pre-Games and post-Games deconstruction or retrofit
and use?
Boston 2024 anticipates proposal of Olympic
legislation that would facilitate permitting and
entitlement. The entitlement process will include
significant community engagement with local

elected officials, the surrounding neighborhood, as
well as business and institutional leaders.
2.1.9 Owner after Completion
Who would own the stadium when completed or
when would it be returned to the current
owners/tenant?
Boston 2024 anticipates that the land and
infrastructure improvements will be controlled
by a public authority. All improvements will be
controlled by the same authority for the duration
of the 2024 Games.
We anticipate that the northwest quadrant of the
overall site will be developed prior to the Games
with new hotel, residential, retail and restaurant
uses. Following conclusion of the Games, the

temporary stadium will be dismantled and the
entire site will be privately developed with
additional retail, residential and office uses. Total
capacity for the site is programmed at over 6 million
square feet. Part of the Olympic practice fields will
be converted to public playing fields.

6-12 months
Base Scheme for Temporary

Stadium Construction
12-18 months
2.1.12 Stadium to OC
When would the stadium be handed over to the
organizing committee?
We anticipate that the stadium will be complete
and available to the Organizing Committee
approximately 6 months before commencement of
the 2024 Olympic Games.
If the stadium is existing, have any renovations or

additions taken place recently, or are any planned?
2.1.16 Pre-Games Usage
Will the stadium be used by the owner between
completion of construction and Olympic handover?
The Olympic Stadium will be used for test events
between completion of construction and
Olympic handover.
2.1.13 Returned to Owner

When would the stadium be handed back to the
owner/tenant?
2.1.14 Risks of Agreement
What risks of agreement with owners or partners and
or delivery should be considered for the stadium?
Several agreements with current land owners must
be achieved to complete land assembly:
Relocation strategies for existing facilities controlled
by the City of Boston, Commonwealth of Massachusetts
and the MBTA must be planned and implemented.
Control of privately held parcels must be completed.
In addition, entitlements for post-Games use must
be implemented.
2.2 LEGACY
2.2.1 Planned Post-Games Use

What is the planned post-Games use?
Post-Games, the infrastructure improvements
delivered as part of the Olympic Stadium
development will be the catalyst for development
of a new Midtown neighborhood, repairing the scar
in urban fabric from the 19th and 20th century rail
and highway construction. Transit improvements
of heavy rail, improvements of I-93, interchange
connections and the construction of an overbuild
platform will form the foundation for significant
mixed-use development. Over a series of phases,
we envision retail, residential and office uses
developed by the private sector in a grid of streets
with Olympic Boulevard as the spine. First phase of
work will be conversion of below platform areas to
parking, required as soon as possible to support the
expanded Boston Convention and Exhibition Center.
Future phases will include smart blocks of mixeduse development with new streets, green open
space, diversity of housing and opportunities for
office and retail development within one mile of
South Station.
2.2.2 Design for Post-Games
What is the design for post-Games use?
The transit infrastructure provided for the Olympic
Games, including rail access to South Station,
overbuild above MBTA tracks, public plaza space
connecting to Fort Point Channel, and surrounding
roadway improvements, will enable development
of a new neighborhood in the heart of the city. In
addition, approximately 2,000 parking spaces will
be provided in the volume below the dismantled
stadium to support the enlarged Boston Convention
and Exhibition Center.

2.3 FINANCIALS
2.3.1 Contribution of Owner
2.3.3 Cost Estimates
What contribution will the owner/tenant make toward

construction?
The stadium site will be controlled by a public
building authority or agency, either existing or to
be formed. Acquisition and improvements will be
financed by the issuance of bonds supported by
value creation for private development - the first
phase of which will be initiated before construction
of the Olympic Stadium.
What are the cost estimates for completion of the

Games facility?
We currently have two cost estimates depending
on legacy use:
Option 1: The following costs are currently estimated
for construction of a temporary 60,000 seat
Olympic Stadium at Midtown. The site will have
legacy development.

2.3.2 Financing
Who will finance the design/construction?

Design and construction of the stadium will be
financed through a combination of the OCOG
budget and private funding. The financing will
utilize tax increment financing (TIF) bonds that
will be supported by land lease payments from
land value and new real estate tax revenues from
future buildings developed. Initially, a public
authority (e.g., City of Boston affiliated Industrial
Development Authority) will fund land acquisition
and infrastructure costs while the OCOG budget will
assume the costs associated with the construction
and restoration of the temporary stadium structure,
Olympics back-of-house and warm-up areas. A
private sector development group will be selected
for the proposed development of the project that
will provide funds to pay for the debt service on the
initial financing utilized for land acquisition and
infrastructure costs.

for construction of a new 60,000 seat Olympic Stadium
at Midtown with a legacy use for professional soccer
(23,000 seats).

- Land Acquisition
$85M
- Olympic Stadium
$572.8M
2.3.4 Cost for Use
What are the costs for use of the stadium?
Boston 2024 proposes new construction for the

Olympic Stadium; costs for use of the stadium and
operational costs will be determined in the context
of financing and ownership.
2.3 FINANCIALS CONTINUED
2.3.5 Budget for Decommissioning

What is the budget for decommissioning, dismantling
and recycling of materials?
The temporary stadium and all seating requirements
will be rented. All structural requirements will be
reused as part of legacy development.
2.3.6 Budget for Retrofit
What is the budget for retrofitting the stadium
and/or the site for post-Games use? Who would
bear this cost?
We have identified conversion cost for the two
different legacy options:
Option 1: removal of stadium is included in rental
cost. Minimal removal of temporary facilities is
required at $5M.
Option 2: reduction to a 23,000 seat stadium for use by
a professional soccer franchise is estimated at $59M.
2.3.7 Cost Estimators
Who are the cost estimators?
Cost estimating to date has been provided by
Suffolk Construction with review and other
preconstruction services provided by Turner
Construction, Boston. Suffolk Construction
is a national construction management firm
headquartered in Boston with main offices in the
Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast and West regions.
Turner Construction Company is one of the largest
construction management companies in the United
States with a construction volume of $9B in 2012.
Turner has a long history in sports facility
construction, beginning in 1909 with the companys
first major sports project, the Promenade for
Harvard Stadium. Turner has since been recognized
as an industry leader, providing services for
professional and collegiate stadiums, ballparks,
arenas, and training facilities, as well as speedways,
racetracks and tennis centers. For more than 15
years, Engineering News Record has ranked Turner
as one of the top Sports Builders in the United
States. Some notable projects include Madison

Square Garden, the redevelopment of Soldier Field,
and Yankee Stadium. Projects under construction
or recently completed include Levis Stadium (San
Francisco 49ers), Livestrong Sporting Park (Sporting
Kansas City of the MLS) and The University of
Washington Husky Stadium Renovations.
Temporary Stadium Costs were developed
in detail by Nussli Group, a leading, globally
operating supplier in the field of temporary and
modular construction.
2.3.8 Budget for Community Engagement
What is the budget for community engagement
related to the construction of the stadium?
We propose a $5M budget to allow the Committee
to conduct a significant community engagement
effort. We also expect that there will be an
independent consultant team that works on behalf
of the community to review all real and potential
impacts of the stadium.
2.3.9 Shared Financing
If financing of the stadium is shared, what is the
percentage for each partner?
We have determined that the OCOG budget will
finance approximately 33% ($173M) of cost of the
stadium. These funds will be used for construction
of the temporary stadium structure, Olympics backof-house, warm-up areas, rent and restoration of
the area post-Games. The additional $345M (67%)
needed for land acquisition and infrastructure
upgrades will use tax increment financing bonds
secured by new tax revenues generated from the
mixed use developments as well as land lease
payment from private developers, including
payments for a ~2,000 space commuter parking
structure to be developed in conjunction with the
Massachusetts Convention Center Authority.

2.4 DESIGN
2.4.1 Seating Capacity

What is the proposed seating capacity for Games use?
The proposed seating capacity for the Olympic
Games is 60,000.
2.4.2 Existing Utility Infrastructure
What existing utility infrastructure would serve the
stadium?
The proposed stadium location is in an area of the
city well served by infrastructure. The areas to the
west and east of the site are densely developed and
supported by regional utility systems that traverse
portions of the site or are located in public corridors
at the perimeter of the site.
Water: Multiple water systems are available on
Frontage Road to the west of the site and Dorchester
Avenue to the east of the site. As many as five 12-inch
looped water systems exist in immediate proximity
to the site. These systems are cross-connected to
the north and south of the site increasing system
redundancy and reliability in the case of a break on
any of the subject segments. The proposed stadium is
anticipated to require approximately 170,000 gallons
of water per day. Based on discussions with the Boston
Water and Sewer Commission (BWSC), this can be
accommodated via the existing infrastructure.
Sanitary Sewer: Sanitary sewer capacity in the
proposed stadium location is also robust. The site is
bordered by two sanitary collectors that are directed to
the main sanitary tunnel between the city and the Deer
Island Regional Treatment Facility. Over the last decade,
the BWSC has undertaken a program of separating
sewerage and drainage in the areas to the south of
the city center. In parallel, the Massachusetts Water
Resources Authority (MWRA) has upgraded the regional
collection system. These improvements have resulted in
increased system capacity. BWSC indicates that capacity
exists for the 170,000 gallons per day of anticipated
wastewater flow related to the stadium venue.
Telecom/Data: Frontage Road and Dorchester Avenue,
immediately proximate to the site, include regional
data loops that connect to long haul fiber via local
network switches in Boston.
14
Drainage: A portion of the Dorchester Brook Conduit,

a major local drain collector, is within the site
limits. Construction of the stadium venue will likely
require relocation of a portion of this line. Relocation
will include provision of direct connections to the
facility storm water systems. The proposed rainfall
management and treatment system for the venue will
include facilities to treat runoff from roof, plaza and
paved areas and infiltration features that will recharge
the underlying groundwater table. Spill prevention
functionality will be included at loading and service
areas to protect the aquifer.
2.4.3 Existing Roof Modifications
For an existing stadium, what is the plan for the roof?
2.4.4 Environmental Conditions
What are the existing site conditions? Provide a study
of environmental conditions and water tables that
could impact construction and/or costs.
Like much of the City of Boston, the site represents
filled tidelands. The water table is at +10.0 with the
approximate ground elevation sloping from +17.5 to
+15.5 in respect to the Boston city base elevation.
All new permanent construction will require deep
foundation technologies with which this planning
and construction team has extensive experience
throughout the city and particularly in the South
Boston Waterfront.
The site conditions are diverse as the site has been
used for multiple purposes:
service and maintenance of MBTA buses and trains
service and storage of City of Boston Public
Works vehicles
active retail lines
wholesale food distribution facilities.
We do not, however, anticipate unusual site
contamination issues, unusual mitigation schedule
or cost requirements.
2.4 DESIGN CONTINUED
2.4.5 Accessibility
What accessibility improvements have been included
in your cost estimates?
All cost estimates include design of full
accessibility and compliance with the requirements
of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the
Massachusetts Architectural Access Board.
2.4.6 Seismology Study

Has a recent seismology study been conducted on
your stadium or stadium location?
We have engaged Haley & Aldrich, the leading
geotechnical engineering firm in Boston, to
provide both a preliminary seismology study and a
preliminary evaluation of soil conditions. There are
no unusual conditions in either category.

LOCATION AND USAGE
The Columbia Point/UMass Boston Precinct offers a

prominent waterfront site ideally suited to host the
Athletes Village. The area is well served by public
transportation with access to the MBTA commuter
rail, red line train service and bus connections via
the JFK/UMass station. It is connected to Midtown
by both the Olympic Route Network and immediate
highway access via the Southeast Expressway (I-93).
The site enjoys generous access to Bostons greatest

asset - its waterfront. Adjacent to Joe Moakley Park,
the Athletes Village offers private athlete access to
Carson Beach for the duration of the Games with
unobstructed views over the Old Harbor back to the
Olympic Stadium and the picturesque city skyline
beyond. Additionally, abundant practice fields will
be available at Boston College High School, on the
main campus of UMass Boston and at Columbus
Park within Moakley Park.

3.1.3 Current Use
3.1.4 Obtaining the Land
What is the current use of the land?

The principal parcels are used as follows:
The City of Boston uses 57.43 acres as public park.
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts uses 46.6 acres
to accommodate Kosciuszko Circle and Columbia Road
which currently operate as a traffic interchange along
Joe Moakley Park. The parcel also includes a building
occupied by the Massachusetts State Police.
The University of Massachusetts Building Authority
owns 19.94 acres currently utilized as student parking.
The Boston Bayside Expo Center is largely vacant and
the university intends to demolish the structure to
redevelop the site for campus expansion.
What is the process required to obtain the land

for development?
We intend to lease the property from the
University of Massachusetts and expect that the
remaining properties would be acquired by public
authority or alternatively financed with a private
developer for the planned student housing and
residential development post Olympic Games.
Following the Games, private developers would
redevelop the parts of the Village not used
by UMass for student housing as market rate
multifamily and for-sale condominiums.
Santander Bank uses 13.61 acres for office

and commercial.
184 units of University Residences are planned on the
site next to the Corcoran Jennison office building on
Mt. Vernon Street.

3.1.5 Construction Period

What is the proposed construction period?
The proposed construction period is as follows:
Remediation + Site Preparation
6-12 months
Construction + Fit-out for Olympic Games 36 months

3.1.6 Environmental Conditions
What are the existing site conditions? Provide a study
of environmental conditions and water tables that
could impact construction and/or costs.
The existing site is occupied by a former
convention/exposition center and over 1,300
asphalt surface parking spaces. The USDA Soil
Conservation Service soil survey classifies soils
within the project site as Urban Land indicating that
greater than 85 percent of the site is occupied by
impervious surface with parent material comprised
of excavated and filled land. Like much of the City
of Boston, the site represents filled tidelands. The
water table is at elevation +11 feet from City of
Boston datum. All new permanent construction

will require deep foundation technologies and
some select standard waterfront site engineering
practices with which this planning and construction
team has extensive experience throughout the city.
We do not anticipate unusual site contamination
issues, unusual mitigation schedule or
cost requirements.
3.1.7 Developer Proposal
What is the development proposal?
The proposed Athletes Village will create a
vibrant, mixed-use community on the Columbia
Point waterfront. The residential program required
by the Olympics will fulfill the 6,000 dormitory
beds needed by the University of Massachusetts.
The remaining 10,500 beds will be converted to
approximately 2,500 - 2,900 market rate housing
units and ground floor retail space. These units
will be high quality, sustainable and transportable
housing units capable of being relocated to fill local
housing needs in neighborhoods around the city.
25
3.1.8 Developer Selection
3.1.10 Permanent Facilities
How will the developer be selected?

The developer will be selected through a transparent,
competitive process where key criteria will be
applied including financial strength, sustainability
and expertise in student housing and design.
What other permanent facilities are proposed?

In addition to the residential program, a portion of
the athletes sports complex will be retained as a
community sports facility along William J. Day Blvd.,
adjacent to Joe Moakley Park.

Games use.
Will the units be sold?
11
A portion of the units may be converted for sale.

16
What is the target market for unit sales?

The target market for rental of this new housing is
Millennials. This demographic wants to be close to the city,
have access to rapid transit and values efficient design and
technological capabilities over luxuries. There is a high
demand for workforce and market rate housing in Boston
and these sustainable homes would have instant appeal to
this demographic.

3.1.11 Utility Infrastructure

Athletes Village?
Water: Multiple 12 water loops are available in close
proximity to the site on Morrissey Boulevard and
along Mount Vernon Street. Additional water mains
are available on Dorchester Avenue in close proximity
to the JFK/UMass MBTA station. The design will
need to ensure that systems are cross-connected to
maximize redundancy and capacity for domestic and
fire use. Initial estimates put water demand at about 1
million gallons per day for the Athletes Village. BWSC
has indicated that this capacity exists in the current
distribution system.
Sanitary Sewer: Sanitary sewer facilities are available
on Morrissey Boulevard which runs through the site
and along the north edge of the Bayside area where
the MWRA Columbus Park Connector is located.
The Columbus Park Connector is the primary sewer
collector for this portion of Boston and directs flow
to the Columbus Park Headworks, which is the last
stop before the Deer Island Wastewater Treatment
Facility. According to the discussions with the BWSC,

there is available capacity for the 1 million gallons of
wastewater flow expected from the Athletes Village.
Capacity in this system is a result of system upgrades
and regional sewer separation improvements.
Telecom/Data: Morrissey Boulevard, which traverses
this area, provides regional telecommunications and
data service. If higher capacity global fiber is
required, extension of service lines from the north
will be necessary.
Drainage: This area is in close proximity to Boston
Harbor. Boston Harbor is generally protected from
dynamic wave action and storm surges by the network
of harbor islands and Cape Cod. There are multiple
access points to provide drainage from the proposed
Village areas to the harbor. Construction of the Athletes
Village will include a rainfall management and
treatment system to treat runoff from roof, plaza and
paved areas and infiltration features that will recharge
the underlying groundwater table. The BWSC recently
completed installation of a 12 foot by 12 foot drain
interceptor in Morrissey Boulevard to improve local
drainage system performance.

3.2 LEGACY
3.2.1 Post-Games Use

The Athletes Village will revitalize Columbia
Point and create a vibrant, transit-oriented, mixeduse waterfront district. The master planned
redevelopment of the site will unlock transportation
barriers created by Kosciuszko Circle by reorganizing
the infrastructure and linking the surrounding
neighborhoods including Dorchester, Harbor Point,
the University of Massachusetts Boston campus and
the proposed Village to each other and to Carson
Beach and Joe Moakley Park. The proposed Athletes
Plaza will become a waterfront retail destination
for the entire City of Boston. Joe Moakley Park, one
of Bostons largest public spaces, will be vastly
improved as adjacent neighborhoods will enjoy
access to the sports complex and improved athletic
fields. Increased capacity at JFK/UMass MBTA station
will improve access to the district.
28
Post-Games, the housing will be returned to

6,000 beds of student housing for University of
Massachusetts Boston. The remaining units will be
converted into approximately 2,500 - 2,900 units
of market rate housing. Some units will remain on
site and a large number will be relocated to Boston
neighborhoods for workforce housing.
Those areas currently under private ownership,
such as the Santander Bank site, will be used for
temporary support facilities and will be returned
with improved infrastructure and value created for
redevelopment. Additional opportunities will also
be created for the development of University of
Massachusetts academic and research facilities.

3.3 TRANSPORT
3.3.1 Access Routes
3.3.3 Internal Roadways
What are the access routes to and from the proposed

Olympic route network?
The Athletes Village is conveniently located along Morrissey
Boulevard and just east of Interstate-93. This site is
approximately 1.25 miles from the proposed Olympic Stadium
and 2.5 miles from the South Boston Waterfront Precinct. Access
to a dedicated Olympic route network would occur along the
east side of Morrissey Boulevard to Old Colony Avenue/Preble
Street or directly to/from I-93.
3.3.2 Transport Mall
Where will the Transport Mall be located?
The Transportation Mall will be located on the former Santander
Bank parking site, immediately accessible from the Olympic Lane
network and proximate to athlete support facilities.
How will internal roadways fit into the plan?

The internal roadways within the Athletes Village have been
conceptualized in an urban grid with the scale of the Village
street architecturally responsive to the context of our city. The
plan draws on the citys approved master plan for Columbia Point
and the aspirations of the UMass Boston master plan so that
the roadway and utility infrastructure will ultimately benefit the
legacy of the site as an academic campus and neighborhood.
The alignment of the primary north-south roadway through the
Village will ultimately service the future connection between
Morrissey and Day Boulevards. Service and emergency access to
all residential buildings will be provided by the internal roadway
system. During the Games, this network will provide for internal
shuttles to circulate through the entire site.

3.4 FINANCIALS
3.4.1 Financial Viability

Provide a market study indicating the financial viability
of the Village plan including proposed price ranges for
units and proposed market absorption rate.
Prior to the acquisition by the University of Massachusetts
Building Authority several years ago, the Bayside Expo site was
the target of significant developer competition as a multifamily housing site for its location proximate to downtown,
waterfront access and transit connections. The real time vacancy
for the entire BostonPads.com database of more than 100,000
apartments is only 2.5 percent.
In addition, we are studying the opportunity to build high quality
sustainable and transportable housing which can be relocated to
other neighborhoods in the city where it will fill a current void in
moderate-rate housing.
3.4.2 Land Cost
What is the estimated cost to acquire the land?
The cost to acquire the land is estimated at $269 M. This cost
also includes relocation costs for state (MBTA) and city facilities,
other infrastructure costs plus a $25 M contingency.
3.4.3 Cost Estimates

What is the cost estimate for planning to completion
for the Games? Retrofit for post-Games sale?
Completion of the project?
The current cost estimate for planning to completion for the
Games is as follows:
Construction Cost
$2.18B
The legacy costs are as follows:

$89.7M
3.4.4 Proposed Financing

What is the proposed financing for construction?
We expect that 6,000 beds of housing, which will provide the
long-term housing for the University of Massachusetts Boston,
will be financed by the University or alternatively with a student
housing owner/developer with a long term master lease
provided by the University of Massachusetts. The remaining
housing units will be financed by a private development entity
on the basis of the desirable legacy use with a long-term lease
and a ground lease from the University.

4.1.3 Number of Facilities

Do you propose one facility for both, or two facilities?
Boston 2024 proposes two new state-of-the-art
media facilities for the IBC and MPC.
4.1.5 Current Use

What is the current use of the site/facility?
The principal parcels are used as follows:
The Gillette company uses 9.0 acres for surface parking.
4.1.4 Proposed Location

Where is the proposed location?
Both the International Broadcast Center and the
Main Press Center will be located in the heart
of the South Boston Waterfront approximately
2 miles from the Athletes Village. The proposed
buildings will be adjacent to the Boston
Convention and Exhibition Center, which will
contain four competition venues hosting six
sports. With a close proximity to the Convention
Center hotels this location provides members
of the media with first class accommodations
just steps from the IBC and MPC. The entire
venue is 27 acres including areas for ceremonies,
broadcast, operations and transportation.
The United States Postal Service uses 20.9 acres for

surface parking and operations.
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts MBTA/Highways
uses 6.8 acres for the South Boston Bypass Road.
The Massachusetts Department of Transportation owns
3.0 acres which are currently unused.
The Massachusetts Convention Center Authority uses
7.5 acres for the service, maintenance and mechanical
access for the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center.

4.1.6 Utility Infrastructure
4.1.7 Facility Contract

IBC/MPC?
The South Boston Waterfront has extensive sewer,
water and storm water facilities. The Boston
Convention and Exposition Center is currently
undergoing a $1 billion expansion, which will
include new utility infrastructure connections. In
addition, the South Boston Waterfront is planned
for 17 million square feet of new office and mixed
use development, and the Boston Water and
Sewer Commission has been making new capacity
improvements to serve the district. We do not
anticipate any utility capacity or line extension
issues for the IBC and MPC in the context of the
growing South Boston Waterfront.
We have recently engaged with CDM Smith, a
leading Cambridge-based engineering firm to
provide a study of available electrical power.
If existing, can the facility be contracted for use for one

year prior to the Games?
Boston 2024 proposes the IBC and MPC will be new
buildings. The two media venue buildings will be
completed and ready for use one year prior to the
opening of the 2024 Olympic Games.
4.1.8 Building Metrics

How many floors/square meters are planned for the
IBC? for the MPC?
The IBC and MPC will be located in two separate,
but side-by-side, buildings. The IBC will be built
over the South Boston Bypass Road and will have
two floors totaling 700,000 sf. The MPC will have
five floors totaling 300,000 sf.
4.2 TRANSPORT
4.2.1 Transit Infrastructure
4.2.2 Additional Transport Infrastructure
What existing transport infrastructure serves the

site/facility?
The proposed IBC/MPC site is located in the South
Boston Waterfront Precinct adjacent to and over the
South Boston Bypass Road. The site has interstate
access and egress located immediately to the north
via the I-90/I-93 interchange. The South Boston
Bypass Road is proposed as a dedicated Olympic
route providing direct access between the Olympic
Stadium (1 mile away) and the University Cluster via
I-90. Transit access to the IBC/MPC is conveniently
located 0.6 miles west of the site at South Station
and immediately north of the site via the Silver
Line/World Trade Center station. Summer Street
provides access to the downtown, featuring existing
taxi cab stands. World Trade Center Boulevard
provides immediate access to the vibrant South
Boston Waterfront area.
38
What additional transport infrastructure is planned?

Adjacent to the IBC/MPC site is the so-called
Track 61, which is a planned rail connection
between Beacon Yards (West Station) and the South
Boston Waterfront. This service is expected to be
operational before 2024. When operational, this
service will provide a direct rail connection between
the Waterfront and University Clusters. A transport
hub and parking are also planned in conjunction
with the IBC/MPC on the north side and proximate
to the site. Bicycle and pedestrian improvements
are currently in design development along Summer
Street between the site and South Station.
4.3 LEGACY
The overall IBC and MPC planning strategy for

the Olympic Games anticipates the legacy uses by
following the City of Bostons Seaport District 100
Acre Master Plan. The balance of the temporary
IBC and MPC support space will revert back to
development parcels and open park space. In all
options, the transit infrastructure provided for the
Olympic Games is utilized including the planned rail
connection between Beacon Yards (West Station) to
the South Boston Waterfront.
4.3.1 Planned Post-Games Use

Both the IBC and MPC will be permanent buildings.
We have planned IBC conversion for science,
technology and innovation workspace for the
Innovation District. Expansion of convention
center use is also a viable option. The MPC will be
designed to convert the 300,000 sf to office space
supporting the expanding Innovation District.

The IBC/MPC facilities will be converted to commercial uses
following the Games to support the South Boston Waterfronts
growing innovation culture. The Seaport District 100 Acre
Master Plan, and temporary support areas for the IBC/MPC will
be returned to open spaces and development parcels. Improved
public transportation, commercial and residential growth and the
legacy of the Olympics in the district would ideally position such
parcels for innovative, cultural and community uses.

Introduction
1.1 INTRODUCTION
We are pleased to provide our Transportation,

Accommodation and Security plan, on behalf of the
Boston 2024 Partnerships bid for the 2024 Summer
Olympic Games. As our planning has been refined,
our enthusiasm and commitment for this great
endeavor has expanded. Boston will host a truly
extraordinary Olympic Games in which our city itself
is the Olympic Park. The 2024 Games in Boston
will leverage our substantial existing and planned
infrastructure and firmly set the citys path of
development for the next generation of innovation,
diversity and enhanced quality of life.
Our transportation planning integrates existing
and planned infrastructure with a focus on future
benefits to the city, its neighborhoods and its
urban design planning principles. We have an
excellent understanding of costs because many
of the proposed infrastructure projects have been
planned, reviewed and approved by the appropriate
regulatory agencies, the Legislature of the
Commonwealth and the Governor of Massachusetts.
Our accommodations planning has been shaped by
the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority and
will provide outstanding lodging for the IOC Family,
the international media, our enthusiastic spectators
and the many volunteers for the Boston Olympic
Games. Boston is home to outstanding three, four
and five star hotels and is also the home to colleges
and universities with available accommodations
that are ideal for media and volunteers. Our
institutional partners have enthusiastically
supported these planning activities and will make
available the best student housing in America.
Lastly, Boston has significant experience with
large scale events, including National Special
Security Events like the 2004 Democratic National
Convention.
We are delighted to collaborate with the United
States Olympic Committee in preparing a winning
bid for the 2024 Olympic Games.
TR ANSPORT
2.1 INFRASTRUCTURE
Boston is ideally positioned to host the 2024

Olympic and Paralympic Games. It is a national and
international travel destination. It is a leader in
public transit. And it is a compact, easy to navigate
city that is conducive to walking and bicycling.
Chart 3, on pages 7-9, outlines the existing
infrastructure (2.1.5/2.1.6), relevant planned capital
projects (2.1.7) and additional enhancements to the
transport systems (2.1.8) to support the transport
program for Boston 2024.
No Permanent Works Required
Boston serves as the economic and cultural hub
of New England with a major international airport
and regional highway and rail systems radiating
outward and deep into the region. The existing
surface transport infrastructure that serves the
City of Boston and the metropolitan region is
summarized in Section 2.1.5 of Chart 3 and briefly
described here.
Public Transport Network

Bostons transit system is one of its strongest
transportation assets. The city built and opened the
first subway system in the U.S. in 1897 and today
operates the fifth largest transit agency in the
country. Boston is situated at the northern terminus
of the Northeast Corridor, the busiest high speed rail
corridor in the U.S., with 40 intercity trains per day.
It is also a port city with excellent water access and
robust ferry and cruise services.
Regional transit services, managed by the
Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA),
feature a fleet of 2,500 buses and trains, about 1,450
km of track and four water transportation routes.
More than 1.3M customers in Greater Boston depend
on the MBTAs subway, bus, commuter rail and ferry
services each weekday. About a third of Bostons
workers use transit to get to/from their place of
employment. Bostons transit system, together with
an Olympic overlay bus shuttle system, will serve as
the backbone for transportation during the Games
and will move spectators and Games workforce to/
from their destinations.

For Boston 2024, 28 of 33 of the proposed venue

locations are within the core of Boston, Cambridge
and Somerville and all but two of these locations
have access to rapid transit, trolley or rail services
within 2 km. See chart on previous page.
Bus shuttles in Olympic Lanes will intercept more
distant demands at regional intercept parking
facilities and transport spectators, volunteers and
staff to their destination venues.
As most of Boston 2024s venues are within a short
distance of hotels and transit stations, walking
offers a reasonable and sustainable alternative for
Games travel. Travel by bicycle, with the expanding
network of facilities and users in Boston and its
environs will be used to augment other modes
where practical. Boston has doubled its bicycle
network over the past 5 years (to 120+ miles) and
expects to add more than 100 additional miles by
2024. Bostons bike sharing system provides more
than 1,300 bikes at 130 stations throughout Boston,
Brookline, Cambridge and Somerville.
Highway and Road Network

Boston enjoys excellent interstate and regional
highway access. Interstates 90 and 93, U.S. Routes
1, 3, and 20, and State Routes 2, 9, 18, 24, and 28
provide access from the metropolitan area (and
neighboring states) to the downtown. Access
throughout the core is further enhanced by many
major arterials, including Memorial and Storrow
Drives located along the north and south sides of
the Charles River, respectively.
Route I-95/Route 128 is a major circumferential
highway approximately 10 miles west of the
downtown that serves suburban communities and
allows through traffic to by-pass the metropolitan
core. About 20 miles west of the downtown, I-495
serves a similar, redundant function. Both of
these circumferential highways will be important
resources to accommodate rerouted, regional traffic
during the Olympics, as well as to intercept traffic at
regional park-and-ride facilities.

The Commonwealth modernized access to the

downtown through the Central Artery/Tunnel
project, a $15B investment in I-93/I-90 including
a new tunnel to/from Boston-Logan International
Airport, completed in 2007. In 2008, the Governor
authorized another $3B investment in an
Accelerated Bridge Program (ABP) to address
structurally deficient bridges in the state system.
This ABP appropriation is expected to be largely
completed by 2016.
Permanent Works Required
Section 2.1.6 of Chart 3 presents the relevant
transport infrastructure projects that are currently
being procured or under construction. Notable
projects in this category that will be completed well
in advance of 2024 include:
New transit vehicle procurement for the Red and Orange
rapid transit, Commuter Rail and bus systems ($1.65B)
Additional investment in Boston and the regions

transportation system is regularly defined by
the Commonwealths long range transportation
and capital investment plan (CIP). Massachusetts
is investing $12.4B in transportation system
expansion and renewal over the next five years.
Chief among these key planned investments, as
itemized in Section 2.1.7 of Chart 3, includes:
Expansion of South Station
($300M committed/$1.5B overall)
New South Coast Rail Boston to New
Bedford/Fall River ($2.2B)
New West Station and Layover Facilities

2.2 AIRPORT
2.2.1 Primary International Airport

Which international airport do you intend to use as
your primary port of entry and why?
Boston-Logan International Airport is New Englands
primary international and domestic airport and
will serve as the port of entry for most Olympic
travelers. Boston-Logan International has an
extensive network of international and domestic
flights and handled over 30 million passengers in
2013, with approximately 800 domestic flights and
over 100 international flights daily. Boston-Logan
also enjoys excellent access, located approximately
5.8 km from the city center and very convenient to
the majority of Olympic venues, including less than
5 km from the proposed Olympic Stadium, Athletes
Village and the International Broadcast Center/
Main Press Center. It is well-connected to public
transit with the Silver Line and Blue Line direct
connections to Downtown Boston. Boston-Logan
International is also well-connected to the regions
interstate roadway system including Interstate 90 to
Interstate 95 and Interstate 93, with direct access to
the urban core.
The airport is owned and operated by the
Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport). Massport
is currently engaged in a strategic planning process
for its aviation, maritime and real estate assets.
Massport has forecast air passenger growth from
30 million passengers today (2013) to 40 million
passengers by its 2030 planning horizon, including
7.6 million international passengers. Massport is
currently in the process of assessing the capital
investments that will be necessary to accommodate
this level of expected growth.
The chart on the next page (2.2.3) provides current
airport data for Boston-Logan and other New
England airports. Boston-Logan International is
currently served by 30 airlines, which include:

2013, there were approximately 800 direct flights
weekly to Boston-Logan International Airport from
JFK/New York, Washington Dulles, Atlanta, Miami,
OHare/Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, San Francisco
and Los Angeles. The bar chart on the following
page provides a break-down of these flights by
airport. Chart 3 (2.1.6) itemizes approximately $5.2B
in transportation infrastructure investment in our
region that is currently underway.
2.2.2 Other Airports
Which other airport(s) do you intend to use and why?
In addition to Boston-Logan, as illustrated in the
airport data chart, there are six regional airports
that contribute another 12 million passengers
annually to the region. These six airports will serve
an important function in assisting the New England
area business and tourism travelers with alternative
aviation options during the Games period, while
Boston-Logan serves as the designated primary
Port of Entry. These airports consist of TF Green/
Providence RI, Manchester NH, Worcester MA,
Bradley/Hartford CT, Portsmouth NH and Portland
ME. The supplemental chart on the next page lists
other New England airports and the airlines that
currently serve them.

2.3 CHALLENGES
2.3.1 Transport Challenges

What current and future (by 2024) major transport
challenges do your city and region face?
In May 2014, the Massachusetts Department of
Transportation (MassDOT) issued its Long-Range
Transportation Plan weMove Massachusetts
(WMM). WMM outlines the long-term strategy for
investments, policies and programs that respond
to transportation challenges facing the city, region
and Commonwealth. Key transport challenges in the
decade ahead include:
Maintaining and preserving the highway
and transit system has been a priority of
MassDOT for over a decade and will continue
to be the focus over the next decade.
Keeping the city and Commonwealth moving
during this period of tremendous investment
in highway infrastructure renewal and new
transit services is a key challenge. State and
city officials, businesses and residents have
an excellent track record of implementing
major infrastructure renewal projects with
minimal impact to commerce and quality
of life for our residents, as demonstrated
through the completion of the Central
Artery/Tunnel project, I-93 accelerated
bridge replacement program and most
recently, the Callahan Tunnel reconstruction.
Transportation management plans have
included extensive public outreach and
educational programs, promotion of transit
use, effective traffic detours and lane
management strategies, shifts in travel times,
etc. Some of these same processes and tools
will be put to use to manage transportation
during the Olympic Games.
Another transportation challenge is
determining how best to use discretionary
transportation investment to support
and leverage economic development and
adapt programs and services to meet the
evolving needs of our populations and
economic patterns. Transit and accessibility
investments defined by the plan respond
to both a renewed interest in urban living
as well as transportation desires of our
young and old populations. WMM also
presents a strong case for the economic
12
value of infrastructure investment and,

as a result, targets many of its capital
programs to areas of economic opportunity.
Both the investment emphasis on transit
and infrastructure to support economic
development benefit the plans to host
the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
There is a need for continued investment
in mitigation and adaptation strategies
for our transportation system to respond
to the challenges of climate change.
As discussed in WMM, GreenDOT is a
comprehensive initiative that will make
MassDOT a national leader in greening
the state transportation system by reducing
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; promoting
the healthy transportation options of
walking, bicycling and public transit; and
supporting smart growth development.
Project design guidance and engineering
directives continue to evolve to adapt the
transportation system and add resiliency as
investments are made. A climate response
plan is also nearing completion that focuses
on infrastructure within the City of Boston.
And, finally, ensuring that the transportation
system and all of its many components are
well monitored and actively managed in
real time is critical to system efficiency and
effectiveness. Current traffic management
resources and activities are further detailed
in Section 5.5 of this document.
2.3.2 Transport + Mobility Concepts
What general transport and mobility concepts do you
propose?
The transport strategy for Boston 2024 relies on
the use of existing transit/rail lines and roadways,
capitalizes on planned regional transport
improvements and will deploy state-of-the-practice
operations/management strategies to deliver safe,
efficient and reliable Games transport and keep
the city moving during the Olympic and Paralympic
Games. Key features of this transport strategic
framework for Boston 2024 are highlighted on the
next page.
2.3 AIRPORT CONTINUED
Site Venues Smartly

Of the planned venue locations for Boston 2024,
28 of 33 are within core of Boston, Cambridge and
Somerville. All but two of these locations have
access to rapid transit, trolley or rail services.
Orient to Transit
Bostons transit system, together with an Olympic
overlay bus shuttle system, will serve as the
backbone for transportation during the Games
and will move spectators and Games workforce
to/from their destinations. Spectators, volunteers
and staff traveling from outside of the core will be
intercepted at regional intercept parking facilities
and transported to their destination venues via
radial transit corridors or bus shuttles traveling in
Olympic Lanes.
Manage Highway and Arterial Lanes
Olympic Lanes will connect venues and provide
reliable, safe transport for the Olympic Fleet and
spectator shuttles on a network of more than 55 km
of dedicated roadway lanes.
Intercept Drivers Remotely
Spectators and volunteers/staff traveling by car will
be intercepted remotely and redirected to parkand-ride facilities strategically located throughout
the region. Shuttle buses will then provide access
from these remote parking facilities and transit/rail
stations to venues.
Promote Walking
As most of Boston 2024s venues are within a short
distance of hotels and transit stations, walking
offers a reasonable and sustainable alternative for
Games travel. Travel by bicycle, with the expanding
network of facilities and users in Boston and its
environs will be used to augment other modes
where practical.
Manage Parking
Parking at each venue will only be provided for
appropriately permitted vehicles. Vehicle access
and parking permits (VAPPs) as well as local area
parking permit plans will efficiently manage
Olympic traffic. All traffic management personnel

will receive extensive training prior to the Games to
ensure efficient operations and proper enforcement
of traffic and parking regulations.
Influence/Reduce Background Demands
The key to the overall success of transport for the
Games will be transportation demand management.
Boston 2024 will leverage the regions passion
for a great Olympic Games to communicate and
implement an effective transportation demand
management (TDM) program that includes:
Avoidance and commuter peak shifting through marketing,
education and promotion of alternative modes
Higher occupancy modes for all travel to the core
(shifting auto use to transit and/or carpooling)
A regional intercept parking/regional bus system
Logistics management plan for regional and local
goods movement
Seamless, real-time customer traveler information.
Manage it All in Real Time
It is envisioned that a Joint Operations Center
will be deployed during the Games with a clear
command and control protocol and use of an
integrated communication system to manage
traffic conditions and incidents in real time. The
plan will direct Games traffic using an online travel
demand system integrated with the ticketing and
accreditation processes. Travelers will be distributed
among transport modes and parking options in
accordance with measures to control traffic during
peak times. Boston is experienced at managing
traffic and rerouting city background traffic in order
to compensate for closed or restricted roadways due
to the recent and on-going investment in our key
highway and transit infrastructure.
Chart 4 (Table 2.4.3 on pages 22-23) indicates
distances and travel times between each
competition site and important competition and
non-competition venues.

2.3 CHALLENGES CONTINUED
2.3.3 Transportation Plan

List all local, regional, state and/or federal entities
that would need to be involved in the implementation
of your transportation plan.
Boston 2024 continues to have positive discussions
with the Secretary of Transportation and
MassDOT senior leadership; the Massport Chief
Executive Officer and department directors or
senior leadership of Real Estate, Maritime, Capital
Programs, Aviation and Community Relations; and,
the City of Boston Department of Transportation,
the Department of Public Works and the Boston
Redevelopment Authority. We have also held
preliminary discussions with Amtrak. All of these
discussions have been positive, and a real sense
of common partnership is being developed for
transportation improvements and approvals.
As described in earlier submissions, Boston 2024
anticipates proposal of Olympic legislation that
would facilitate permitting and entitlements
for both venues and transportation in a unified
manner. The entitlement process will include
significant community engagement with local
elected officials, the surrounding neighborhoods,
appropriate environmental agencies and interest
groups, as well as business and institutional leaders.
This Boston 2024 planning and construction team
has extensive experience throughout the cities of
Boston, Cambridge, Somerville and Lowell and other
localities proposed for transportation improvements
with the successful permitting and approvals of
some of the regions most complex transportation
projects. We do not anticipate any significant
problems at this time in securing the approvals
for the permits for the transportation projects
associated with the 2024 Games.

TABLE NOTES:
Route distance takes into account use of the Olympic Route Network.
Travel times account for speeds on different roadways and reflect a speed between
congested and uncongested travel times.
For accommodation destination locations, such as the Main Hotel [Back Bay], one
centralized origin point was used.
For accommodation destination locations, the time associated with shuttle pick-up
at individual hotel locations to a centralized location for travel to venues using the
Olympic Route Network was not included.

ACCOMMODATION
3.1 HOTELS
3.1.1 Hotel Capacity

List your total hotel capacity, verified by the local
tourist board or Convention and Visitors Bureau.
The total existing hotel capacity within a Greater
Boston radius of 50 km is 47,914. Of the total
existing capacity, 25,155 rooms (53%) are within
a 10 km radius. Within that same 50 km radius,
there are an additional 4,589 rooms already
approved for construction, 4,077 (89%) of which
are within a 10 km radius, and all of which
would be built between now and 2024. As the
current market pipeline indicates, the total hotel
capacity within the 50 km radius of Boston in
2024 would be at minimum 52,503.
The hotel inventory that informs the above capacity
totals and Charts 2B-2E has been determined
by the STR Market Pipeline Report for Boston,
Massachusetts published on September 2, 2014.
STR tracks supply and demand data for the hotel
industry and provides valuable market share
analysis for international, regional hotel chains and
independent hotels. With more than 46,000 hotels
participating in STRs hotel performance surveys,
it is the worlds foremost source of historical hotel
performance trends, offering reports and data sets
that help form an understanding of historic and
forecasted market performance and supply and
demand dynamics for the hotel industry.
It is important to note that the Boston,
Massachusetts market as defined by STR may not
represent all existing or planned hotels within a
50 km radius of our Center of Energy in Boston or
within a 10 km radius of our stand-alone venues
in Lowell or Foxborough. For example, the report
does not capture hotels in southern New Hampshire
that fall within a 10 km radius of Lowell or hotels
in Rhode Island that fall within a 30 km radius
from Foxborough. Therefore, for the purpose of
establishing a solid, single-source inventory of
Boston-area hotels, no other inventory was included.
Massachusetts Convention Center Authority and

Boston Convention Marketing Center.
The MCCA owns and oversees the operations of the
Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, the John
B. Hynes Veterans Memorial Convention Center,
the MassMutual Center in Springfield, MA and the
Boston Common Garage. The BCEC and Hynes have
earned a rare gold standard from the International
Association of Congress Centres (AIPC), making
Boston only the fourth city in North America and the
12th city worldwide to have been awarded this top
standard, the highest certification level a convention
facility can achieve under strict AIPC guidelines.
In 2012, the MCCA hosted 245 events at the BCEC
and Hynes with 654,119 attendees, generating
561,279 hotel room nights and $656M in economic
impact. The MCCA is currently in the midst of its
Top 5 campaign to launch Boston into the top five
convention destinations in North America.
The Boston Convention Marketing Center is a
joint effort of the Greater Boston Convention and
Visitors Bureau and the MCCA to market and sell
the BCEC and the John B. Hynes Veterans Memorial
Convention Center.
Because the GBCVB is membership-driven and
would only capture a snapshot of the total
accommodations capacity (as represented by its
member businesses) in the Greater Boston area, and
because the Boston Convention Marketing Center
is representative of both the GBCVB and MCCA, the
Boston Convention Marketing Center has been our
go-to partner and verifying entity as it relates to
Boston-area hotels.

3.1.2 Hotel Standards

Provide a statement from your local hotel association
or Convention and Visitors Bureau that gives the
rating system used in your city and a description of the
standard of hotel in each category.
Greater Boston area hotels are categorized by
two rating systems: the Forbes Travel Guide star
rating system and STRs Market Pipeline Report.
The determination of ratings within each system
is based upon different criteria and processes and
as such we have worked with our market experts
to analyze data from both sources. Using STR as
the source of our hotel inventory list, we have
coordinated with the MCCA and Boston Convention
Marketing Center to assign Forbes Star Rating
equivalents to STRs categorizations in order to
represent consistency across the entire inventory.
The Star ratings which are determined by Forbes
and published in their Forbes Travel Guide annually
are based upon their inspectors evaluating each
property on over 500 individual criteria (primarily
guest services and hotel product). Once Forbes has
identified a property that they believe is worth a
visit, they send out an inspector to evaluate the
hotel. Until this evaluation has been completed, the
rating remains the same.
STR on the other hand separates hotels by market
class/category, which is based on the hotels average
daily rate, relative to that of the chain-affiliated
hotels in its geographic proximity. As a result, a
hotel may only receive a 3 Star rating according to
Forbes, but since they are able to command a much
higher room rate than their chain-affiliated hotels,
they fall into a higher category with STR.
Below are definitions of the Forbes Star Ratings as
written in the Forbes Lodging Criteria document.
Please note that our assigned equivalent ratings do
not claim to be representative of Forbes evaluations
and inspections but rather provide a general
understanding of Bostons current hotel market.
Five Star Hotels: These exceptional properties provide a
memorable experience through virtually flawless service
and the finest of amenities. Staff are intuitive, engaging
and passionate, and eagerly deliver service above and

beyond the guests expectations. The hotel was designed
with the guests comfort in mind, with particular
attention paid to craftsmanship and quality of product. A
Five Star property is a destination unto itself.
Four Star Hotels: These properties provide a
distinctive setting, and the guest will find many
interesting and inviting elements to enjoy throughout
the property. Attention to detail is prominent
throughout the property, from design concept to quality
of products provided. Staff are accommodating and
take pride in catering to the guests specific needs
throughout their stay.
Three Star Hotels: These well-appointed
establishments have enhanced amenities that provide
travelers with a strong sense of location, whether for
style or function. They may have a distinguishing style
and ambiance in both the public spaces and guest
rooms; or they may be more focused on functionality,
providing guests with easy access to local events,
meetings or tourism highlights.
Two Star Hotels: The Two Star hotel is considered a
clean, comfortable and reliable establishment that has
expanded amenities, such as a full-service restaurant.
One Star Hotels: The One Star lodging is a limitedservice hotel or inn that is considered a clean,
comfortable and reliable establishment.

ALLOCATION PLAN
3.4.1 Olympic Family Hotel

Identify an Olympic family hotel.
The Olympic family would be accommodated in the
Back Bay neighborhood, where two excellent hotels
are connected indoors via the Prudential and Copley
Mall walkways. These two hotels include the Boston
Marriott Copley Place and Sheraton Boston Hotel.
Boston Marriott Copley Place
3 Star, 3 Diamond (Upper Upscale according to STR)
1,147 guest rooms and suites
70,000 square feet of meeting and event space
Champions restaurant, health club, pool and more

Sheraton Boston Hotel
3 Star, 3 Diamond (Upper Upscale according to STR)
1,220 guest rooms and suites
70,000 square feet of meeting and event space
Three restaurants/lounges plus Sheraton Fitness
Powered by Core Performance and Green Tangerine Spa
Location, convenience, and direct access to

amenities make the Back Bay option most-fitting
as the Olympic family hotel complex. Upgrades
and additional services could supplement the
experience at the Boston Marriott Copley Place and
the Sheraton Boston Hotel, if requested.
As an alternative to the Back Bay scenario, approved
increases to the existing hotel capacity surrounding
the BCEC could also serve as an Olympic family
hotel complex. The 4 star, Upper Upscale Westin
Waterfront, which has 793 rooms in its current
capacity, has been approved for an expansion that
includes an additional 327 rooms. As a part of the
plan to nearly double the size of the BCEC facility,
a new 4 star BCEC Headquarters Hotel has been
approved for 1,400 rooms. The new structure will
have an underground connection to the Westin
Waterfront, totaling a hotel complex of 2,520 rooms.
The complex will also be accessible via indoor
walkways to the BCEC, which is the planned venue
facility for Indoor Volleyball, Taekwondo, Judo,
Wrestling, Rhythmic Gymnastics, and Table Tennis.
The planned Olympic Stadium and Athletes Village
both fall within a 3 km radius of this location.
Together, the complex features 2,367 hotel rooms

and nearly 140,000 square feet of meeting space,
all connected via elevated walkways. Over 200
shops, restaurants and visitor amenities are located
within the Prudential and Copley malls, providing
convenient indoor access from both Back Bay hotels.
The proposed locations for the Olympic Stadium
and the Athletes Village as well as the University
and Waterfront venue clusters all fall within a 5 km
radius of this location.

3.4 ALLOCATION PLAN CONTINUED
3.4.2 Accommodation Plan for Spectators

Provide details regarding your accommodation
plan for spectators and stipulate what pricing
regulations would be in place and how they would be
implemented.
As stated in section 3.1.1, total hotel capacity
within a 50 km radius of Boston in 2024 is
anticipated to be 52,503 rooms at a minimum,
with the understanding that the majority of these
rooms will be allocated to client groups that take
precedence over spectators. In addition to using
any leftover hotel accommodations within 50
km of Boston, we propose the following plan to
accommodate spectators.
Due to the large student population in Boston, the
city experiences a significant decrease in full-time
residents during the summer months. In addition
to those students who live in on-campus dormitory
units, approximately 100,000 students live offcampus in privately-owned, rental apartments
throughout the city. In line with the academic
calendar, the majority of Boston apartment
leases are one-year in duration with a lease
commencement date of September 1. As a result,
students who vacate the city during their summer
break opt to sublet their room or apartment to
other tenants.
This scenario presents a tremendous opportunity
for spectator accommodations, offering places
for visitors to stay in neighborhoods popular for
students such as Allston/Brighton and Fenway,
which fall within walking distance to the
University Cluster and provide convenient access
to public transit.
Using a third-party specialist to manage the

operation and create a streamlined program for
Boston-area landlords, leases signed for September
1 of the year preceding the Games could be
executed as 9-month leases, as opposed to typical
12-month leases. Regulations would then be in
place to support reasonable rates for spectator
accommodation for the duration of the Olympic and
Paralympic Games.
Supplementary to the above plan, hotels that fall
outside of the 50 km radius of Boston as well as
home stay or home host opportunities represent
other options to house spectators.
3.4.3 Accommodation Plan + Public Transport
Provide an explanation of how your accommodation
plan is linked to public transport arrangements.
Map E illustrates the location of the anticipated
accommodations on the regional map. The map
also shows the core subway system and regional
rail system. As indicated by this diagram, the
vast majority of accommodations are located
on or proximate to rapid transit or rail public
transportation services. Those locations with a
significant concentration of hotels (hotel clusters),
including the Downtown, Back Bay and South
Boston Waterfront areas, are served by multiple
transit stations. MBTA bus services (with its fleet of
2,500 buses) will supplement these higher capacity
systems to move people within the core as well
as to/from suburban communities. In those more
regional locations where hotel accommodations
are not well served by public transportation, it is
anticipated that hotel shuttles and/or chartered
buses will bring visitors to regional transit centers
for transport into the core.

MEDIA VILLAGE
one third of media near the University Cluster venues. This

plan also ensures that all media will be housed within walking
distance of public transportation and within walking distance
of a dedicated media transportation hub.
3.5.1 Proposed Media Village

Do you propose a Media Village?
As outlined in Charts 2B and 2C, we are confident in our
capacity to provide the 17,500 rooms required for all members
of the media in their preferred level of accommodations.
Consequently, we have not proposed a Media Village,
but instead, we have developed a comprehensive plan to
accommodate the entire media within 10 km of the Center of
Energy and Main Press Center. Our plan consists of locating
one third of the media in the South Boston Waterfront within
1 km of the Main Press Center and Waterfront Cluster venues;
locating another third of the media in the Downtown area near
the Boston Common venues; and finally, locating the remaining
Media accommodations in the South Boston Waterfront will

predominantly include 4 Star and 5 Star hotels. The recently
approved BCEC Headquarters Hotel, if not used as the Olympic
Family hotel, could serve members of the media. As stated
earlier, the BCEC Headquarters Hotel alone will provide 1,400
4 Star rooms and will be connected underground to the BCEC
venues and the IBC/MPC. Nearby hotels such as the Westin
Boston Waterfront, InterContinental Boston and the Seaport
Hotel will offer over 4,000 more 4 Star and 5 Star hotel
rooms for the media. All media located in the South Boston

located in Downtown will stay in predominantly 3 Star, 4 Star
and 5 Star hotels. Dedicated media transportation from these
accommodations to the Main Press Center and venues in the

Olympic Lane Network.
Media accommodations near University Cluster venues will

consist of a variety of 2 Star, 3 Star and 4 Star properties.
In addition, we propose to use newly constructed university
housing units for media. Apartment and suite-style dormitories
in Boston Universitys Student Village and Northeastern

Scott Blackmun
Chief Executive Officer
United States Olympic Committee
One Olympic Plaza
Colorado Springs, CO 80909
Dear Mr. Blackmun:
In connection with Boston 2024 Partnerships submission to the United States Olympic Committee (USOC)
to become the USOCs bidding partner in the international race to host the 2024 Summer Olympic and
Paralympic Games, we are pleased to provide this correspondence confirming our ongoing collaboration
with Bostons hotel community to demonstrate we have sufficient and adequate accommodations to provide
a world class experience to members of the Olympic family.
In partnership with the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority (MCCA), Greater Boston Convention
and Visitors Bureau (GBCVB) and Boston Convention Marketing Center, Boston 2024 hosted a meeting
on October 1 to discuss our accommodations requirements with the regions largest hotel operators.
Participants of this meeting included general managers and sales and marketing directors representing
Marriott, Hilton, Fairmont, Hyatt, Fairmont and Omni hotels and the Massachusetts Lodging Association.
Most notably, Starwood Hotels, the single largest operator in Boston encompassing several Westin and
Sheraton properties, also joined the meeting. In addition, Boston 2024 hosted another meeting on October
15 co-convened again by the MCCA and the Massachusetts Lodging Association with over 30 attendees
representing independent hotels in and around Boston.
These discussions were robust, productive and a strong start to our continued dialogue with Bostons
hoteliers who have expressed interest in and support for our bid. Since then, we continue to work with
the largest hotel operators to finalize the hotel undertaking document. In partnership with Bostons
hotel community and the USOC, we are confident we will deliver a successful Games and an exceptional
experience to the Olympic family.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,

NATIONAL SPECIAL SECURITY EVENT
4.2.1 Experience Hosting NSSE

Do you have experience with hosting a NSSE?
Boston successfully hosted the Democratic National
Convention, a National Special Security Event, in
2004. We are proud of the multi-jurisdictional
collaboration among federal, state and local
authorities and private sector safety entities in the
Greater Boston region that served as the foundation
for our security planning efforts leading up to the
convention. Furthermore, the sharing of information
and intelligence, maintenance of situational
awareness and coordination of efforts through the
Multi-Agency Coordination Center throughout the
convention itself led to a safe and secure venue and
event overall.
4.2.2 NSSE Event Information
If yes: list the event, date and venue; and describe the
leadership structure.
The City of Boston hosted the Democratic National
Convention, a National Special Security Event,
52
NUMBER OF
ATTENDING
SPECTATORS
from July 26 to 29, 2004 at the FleetCenter (now

known as the TD Garden), a multi-purpose sports
and entertainment venue. Hosting the first major
political event in the United States since the
September 11 terrorist attacks and siting the
event at a venue located over a major transit hub,
next to an interstate highway and surrounded by
densely populated neighborhoods, presented unique
security challenges for the Greater Boston region.
However, our well-established partnership between
federal, state and local law enforcement, emergency
management agencies and other first responders
was instrumental in our efforts to develop and
execute a comprehensive security plan.
With the NSSE designation came the allocation and
deployment of federal resources, particularly from the
United States Secret Service, to assist with security
planning. While the Secret Service was responsible
for protecting the convention venue (the FleetCenter),
the Boston Police Department, the Massachusetts
State Police and other regional entities maintained
responsibility for protecting the city and surrounding
communities. Consequently, the Secret Service
convened a steering committee consisting of
S E C U R I T Y N U M B E R 3: T R A N S P O R TAT I O N, A CC O M M O D AT I O N + S E C U R I T Y 1 D E C E M B E R 2014
4.2 NATIONAL SPECIAL SECURITY EVENT CONTINUED
the heads of 11 different agencies to effectively

and efficiently ensure all necessary stakeholders
participated in security planning and implementation.
These agencies included the Boston Police
Department, Boston Fire Department, Massachusetts
State Police, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Federal
Emergency Management Agency, U.S. Attorneys Office
and the U.S. Coast Guard. The steering committee
was co-chaired by one representative from the Secret
Service and one from the Boston Police Department.
It consisted of 17 subcommittees charged with
developing a comprehensive, all-hazards safety
and security plan for all event venues, related
transportation and host communities. Subcommittee
co-chairs were delegated decision-making authority
by their respective agencies, with final decisions, as
directed by the NSSE designation, resting with the
Secret Service.
4.2.3 Jurisdiction Issues
Describe any potential jurisdiction issues.
Given the complexity of the task at hand and the
sheer number of agencies that will be involved,
we recognize that questions about jurisdiction
may arise during our security planning and
implementation. We are confident that the
Greater Boston regions rich experience in multijurisdictional event planning and the collaborative
relationships that exist among key law enforcement
and other public safety stakeholders will overcome
any potential jurisdiction issues, as illustrated
by our experience with the Democratic National
Convention.
The annual Boston Marathon, which runs through

eight municipalities and three counties, is another
example of the regions proven ability to develop
and execute a comprehensive security plan. Though
not a designated NSSE, the Boston Marathon, which
has received a SEAR-2 (Special Event Assessment
Rating) designation from the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security for the past two years, attracts
more than 1 million spectators and approximately
30,000 runners from around the world.
Similarly, the annual Fourth of July Celebration,
another SEAR-2 designated event, draws almost 1
million guests and encompasses venues, roadways
and areas along the Charles River in both Boston
and Cambridge. In both instances, federal, state and
local law enforcement, as well as fire, hazardous
materials, emergency management and emergency
medical services personnel, work together year after
year on a comprehensive all-hazards plan and then
effectively execute the plan on event day under the
umbrella of a Multi-Agency Coordination Center.
For the 2024 Games, our comprehensive safety and
security plan will be developed and executed under
a similar multi-jurisdictional, multi-disciplined
unified command and coordination structure that
is informed by best practices, including lessons
learned from our experiences with the Democratic
National Convention, Boston Marathon and Fourth
of July Celebration. Law enforcement and emergency
response agencies in Massachusetts, particularly in
the greater Boston area, enjoy the distinct benefit of
having worked together to plan for and respond to
international events, natural disasters, and tragically,
acts of terrorism. We stand ready and more united
than ever to deliver a safe and secure Games for
participants, spectators and residents of Boston and
other host communities.

TR ANSPORTATION
ASSESSMENT
5.1
OLYMPIC ROUTE NETWORK (ORN )
This chapter provides the supplemental transport

plan information requested of all U.S. applicant
cities by the USOC on August 21, 2014.
As shown on Map D, Olympic Lanes will connect
venues and provide reliable, safe transport for
Olympic family vehicles and spectator shuttles
on a network of more than 55 km of dedicated
roadways. The ORN was developed by optimizing
the combination of four primary planning factors:
shortest path between origin and destination,
ability of corridor to provide a dedicated lane for
use during the Games, availability of redundant
paths for city travel, and clarity of network for
communications to the public and ability to manage
traffic during the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Two main highways comprising about half of the
Olympic Network I-90 and I-93 will connect
Boston-Logan International Airport to the Athletes
Village, downtown hotels and the waterfront while
providing the spine of the ORN for Boston 2024. A
series of downtown arterials will provide permitted
vehicles with dedicated connections between
competition venues, the IBC/MPC and hotels. Chart
4, presented previously, identifies the type and
lengths of all Olympic Lanes.
All workforce and spectators will travel to venues
via public transport significantly enhanced by a
Games overlay transport system. Accredited persons
and ticket holders will have access to public
transport and Games shuttles. Spectator parking will
not be provided or needed at venues. Spectators
and the Games workforce will use rail transit, with
most stations less than 2 km from competition
venues. Olympic bus shuttles will use Olympic
Lanes to supplement access to venues which are
under served by transit and move spectators and
staff/volunteers from rail stations to venues and
between venue clusters.
renewal projects include the completion of the

Central Artery/Tunnel project, I-93 accelerated
bridge replacement program, and most recently,
the Callahan Tunnel reconstruction. Major special
events include the Boston Marathon, Fourth of
July Fireworks, victory parades for our professional
sports teams (almost an annual event over the
past decade) and hosting the Democratic National
Convention. Transportation management plans have
included extensive public outreach and educational
programs, promotion of transit use, effective traffic
detours and lane management strategies, shifts in
travel times, etc. Some of these same processes and
tools will be put to use to manage transportation
during the Olympics.
The supplemental chart on the next page provides
a preliminary analysis of the effects of utilizing
Olympic Route Network to provide faster and
more reliable travel times between the Athletes
Village and competition venues as well as other
key destinations for the Games. More detailed
travel time information for all planned origins and
destinations are provided in Chart 4 (Table 2.4.3).
The city and the region have become accustomed
to changes in roadway capacities as result of the
significant investment in public works over the
past two decades. As an example, in 2011, the
accelerated replacement of 14 bridges along I-93
north of Boston severely restricted capacity along
the corridor for every weekend of the summer.
During that project, traffic reductions/diversions of
about 50 percent of typical summer demands were
achieved through a comprehensive transportation
demand management and regional traffic
management plan. A similar plan would be put in
place to mitigate the impacts of the Olympic Lanes
associated with the I-93 corridor during the Games.
State and city officials, businesses and residents

have an excellent track record of implementing
major infrastructure and special events with
minimal impact to commerce and quality of life
for our residents. Major recent infrastructure

corridor will likely require maintaining this capacity
restriction over the next 3 to 5 years. Managing
demands and traffic detours will provide real
experience for managing the Olympic Lanes on
I-90. Some regional shifts in traffic to other major
arterials (Routes 9, 16, and 20) as well as a shift
to the river roads (Storrow and Memorial Drives)
are anticipated. Olympic movements between the

Olympic Stadium and the South Boston Waterfront
will take advantage of the South Boston Bypass
Road which is currently operating at about 10
percent of its capacity. It is likely that managing
logistics to/from the waterfront will move much
of this demand to the overnight hours during the
Games. Finally, for each arterial road incorporated
within the ORN, a detailed traffic management/
detour will be developed to provide alternate
routing of demands expected to be diverted.

5.3 VENUE - LEVEL TRANSPORTATION ASSESSMENT
The chart on the next page summarizes venue

locations, capacities, public transport capacity (by
commuter rail, rapid transit lines, light rail and
bus modes) for existing and future (planned plus
Olympic operational assumptions) conditions.
Only two venues in the core area lack direct
rail transit access: Sailing in Boston Harbor and
Shooting on Long Island. Activities in Lowell,
Westford, The Country Club and at Gillette Stadium
have limited transit accessibility. Access to all of
these facilities will be supplemented by Olympic
shuttle buses.
The time to empty venues is governed by many
physical features which include but are not limited
to the venue capacity, physical design of the venue,
physical characteristics of the area proximate to
the venue and the transportation systems capacity

to distribute spectators. Spectator egress typically
occurs in a concentrated wave, with the large
percentage of the spectators departing within
a short period of time. To help manage these
concentrations, staggered competition start and end
times are already built into the Olympic schedule.
The location, width and number of exits at a venue
will meter the rate at which spectators exit venues
to the desired management effect. Adding activities
and services within an Olympic precinct can slow
the flow of spectators exiting, and attractions
located between Olympic precincts can help to
meter pedestrian flow to transit stations. The design
of the areas immediately surrounding venues can
also help meter the rate of departure for spectators.
The supplemental chart on page 58 provides a
summary of the preliminary estimates of the time
anticipated to clear the various Olympic venues.

TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT CENTER
Boston is experienced at managing traffic and

rerouting city background traffic in order to
compensate for closed or restricted roadways due
to the recent and on-going investment in our key
highway and transit infrastructure, as well as for
special events which routinely engage the city.
Several agencies have traffic management centers
that manage traffic operations, incidents and
emergencies in real-time. The Metropolitan Boston
Transportation Management/Operation Centers are
briefly described below.
Highway Operations Center (HOC) MassDOT
The HOC is located at 50 Haul Road in South
Boston. It is a 24/7 operation that coordinates traffic
operations and management on several thousand
miles of interstate and state highways within the
Commonwealth. The HOC coordinates maintenance
and emergency response activities with MassDOT
District Offices over the states low band and
microwave radio network. MassDOT operators are
responsible for traffic management across the state,
central radio command and Geographic Positioning
System (GPS) tracking of contracted and state
vehicles. Each operator shift is eight hours with 2-3
operators per shift. The HOC has five consoles, each
having three monitors. The HOC operators monitor
and control approximately 80 CCTV cameras, 20
permanent dynamic message signs (DMS) and 70
portable DMS.
Massachusetts Traffic and Emergency Response
System (MassTERS) is the central software
deployed at the HOC. MassTERS integrates event
management, call log functionality, dissemination
of information via dynamic message signs (DMS)
statewide as well as via fax, email and pager.
The HOC is collocated with the Operations Control
Center (OCC).
Operations Control Center (OCC) - MassDOT
(formerly MassPike)
The OCC monitors traffic and coordinates incident
response on a 24/7 basis within the metropolitan
Boston I-90/I-93 system of tunnels, ramps and
surface highways as well as in the Sumner, Callahan,
Ted Williams, Prudential and City Square tunnels.
62
Typical staffing is 5-6 operators per shift.

The OCC utilizes DYNAC central software to
integrate both ITS devices as well as SCADA systems
including fire and security alarms, pump stations,
electrical distribution systems, ventilation, lighting
and air quality.
Proprietary Citilog video analysis software is
installed on 250 CCTV to detect and provide alerts
regarding stopped vehicles. Operators monitor
approximately 550 color pan-tilt-zoom CCTV
cameras for any events related to traffic operations
and infrastructure safety and security. The OCC also
has approximately 1,800 vehicle detectors and 110
DMS. The video wall includes an 8 x 2 matrix of
large screens and several smaller monitors below.
The small monitors are used for monitoring hot
spots while the large screens are used to focus on
the tunnel portals and over-height stations.
MassDOT has taken significant steps in recent
years to integrate the functionality and coordinate
response between HOC and OCC operations.
Traffic Signal Control Center (TSCC) - Boston
Transportation Department (BTD)
The City of Boston Traffic Signal Control Center
(TSCC) is located in City Hall in Downtown Boston.
The TSCC is typically active Monday - Friday, 6am
- 10pm and Saturday, 9am - 5pm. It monitors and
controls 450 signalized intersections using an
Urban Traffic Control System (UTCS). In addition,
the TSCC is responsible for 400 other signals that
are not under computer control. Traffic engineers
routinely modify signal timings based on the video
images that are monitored at their consoles and the
video wall, as well as public input.
BTD has 75 pan-tilt-zoom cameras on city-owned
twisted-pair copper communications. BTD also
has access to approximately 60 CCTV cameras
that were deployed for the Democratic National
Convention in 2004. They use these cameras to look
for blocked lanes (e.g., double parking, construction
permits, pedestrian activity, etc.) as well as traffic
congestion hot spots. The traffic detection system
uses system loops that are placed in advance of
5.5 TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT CENTER CONTINUED
the stop bar. When there are traffic anomalies (e.g.,

snow emergencies, parades, special events), they can
quickly make adjustments. There are three signal
control consoles.
Operation Control Centers - MBTA
The MBTA has two operations control centers:
one for train operations and the other for bus
operations. The train control center is on the 7th
floor and the bus operations center is on the 3rd
floor at 45 High Street in Boston.
The train control center operates on a 24/7 basis
and all calls regarding train service are received by
dispatchers in the train control center. They have
a total of six dispatchers: two for the green line;
one for the orange line; one for the blue line; and
two for the red line. During night hours, the staff
is reduced. The center includes nine train control
dispatcher consoles, four transit police dispatcher
consoles, one console to monitor alarms and
cameras at all fare collection points.
The bus operations control center is approximately
half the size of the train control center. Each
dispatcher manages approximately 200 buses over
50 routes based on garage jurisdictions. Some of
the buses have CCTV cameras located on the bus
MBTA Operations Control Center

Photograph: Inside the MBTA
used for security. The MBTA also has approximately

1,000 buses which are equipped with Automated
Vehicle Location (AVL). The bus control center
has five consoles (i.e., one supervisor and four
dispatchers) who utilize the CAD AVL system to
manage schedule adherence on revenue bus service.
During peak periods, the Bus Operations Center has
four dispatchers and one supervisor. They observe
each route approximately six times per hour. One
wall has five monitors (i.e., Silver Line quad images;
garage; station; Silver Line Tunnel (SCADA); and
CCTV cameras from other agencies).
Boston-Logan Operations Center - Massport
Massport has operations centers located at BostonLogan International Airport for aircraft control
and at the World Trade Center for seaport control.
Boston-Logan aircraft control shares airport
problem information (e.g., airport and/or runway
closures) with Hanscom and Worcester airports.
Massport operations are supported by Boston EMS,
MSP (Troop F) and Massport Airport Police. The 16th
floor of the tower is used for monitoring roadways
and the Tobin Bridge facility.
Massport Airport operations center has four
positions, operating around the clock: Gate Control,
Operations, Key Card Security and Fire Alarm

Dispatch. The Gate Control position manages

gate assignments and parking for aircrafts as well
as flight information and baggage information
systems. The operations position serves as the
hub for Massport communications with shift
managers (i.e., groundside and airside) and airport
supervisors, monitoring and logging unusual airport
activity. The operations position also responds
to airport-related problems (calls), provides
weather announcements notifications and runway
availability/conditions, operates an emergency
notification system (e.g., emergency landings), issues
security incident notifications, and participates in
daily security briefings with Transportation Security
Administration, Federal Bureau of Investigation and

Massport personnel. The Key Card position monitors
approximately 1,000 security entrance points using
approximately 700 CCIV cameras and alarms (e.g.,
fire doors, access doors open too long) CCIV cameras
also cover Harborside Drive on a different system.
They have 18 positions including four positions for
each shift (three positions during night-time). The
Fire Alarm Dispatch position receives calls from 911,
and deploys Massport Fire Units in conjunction with
Municipal Fire Units.
Planned Projects
Massachusetts agencies continue to invest in the regional operations/management and control systems to
maximize the efficiency of our transport system. The following projects are currently under development:
I-495 Design-Build Project
This project will install 27 new cameras and 2 overhead
Variable Message Signs (VMS) on I-495 between I-90 and
I-93. This project will also light the existing fiber optics
on I-495 and extend the network to I-90. Connections will
also be made to Route 3 system to create a redundant
communication path to the Mt Nebo Tower to alleviate
bandwidth on the microwave system. The new fiber-optic
system will connect all I-495 cameras to the HOC via existing
fiber-optic communications. This $10 million dollar project
will begin construction in early 2015.
ITS project between I-93 and Route 3
This project will extend the fiber-optic communications
backbone on I-95 from Route 3 interchange to exit 42 (Salem
Street). This project will also install 8 new CCTV cameras
and connect ITS devices north of Route 2 to the fiber optic
network to improve video quality and eliminate leased
line communication costs. The new fiber-optic system will
connect all I-95 cameras to the HOC via existing fiber-optic
communications. Expected advertise date is late 2014.
Route 24 ITS Project Design between I-95 and I-195.
This project will consist of approximately 20 new CCTV and
4 overhead VMS that will be operated from the HOC using
wireless communications. Expected advertise date is late first
quarter 2015.
64
Real Time Traffic Management (RTTM)

Building on the existing 511 service and taking advantage of
advances in new technology, MassDOT initiated an operational
test of a Bluetooth-based real time traveler information system
in 2012 called the Real Time Traffic Management (RTTM)
system. The system calculates travel time between two or more
points along the roadway by using time stamps collected from
anonymous wireless devices and displays these live travel times
in one minute updates on roadside portable variable message
signs. RTTM uses new technology; a Bluetooth sensor, wireless
communications and solar powered sensors. The purpose of the
RTTM system is to inform drivers of the distance and number of
minutes it will likely take to travel from the message sign they
are reading to destinations 5 to 10 miles down the highway.
This provides motorists with a sense of how long their commute
will take and an ability to plan ahead when traffic is worse than
expected. These signs are placed at key interchanges or decision
points across the highway network to facilitate a greater degree
of route or mode diversion.
Based on the success of this test and positive customer
feedback, MassDOT is expanding the system to cover all major
highways throughout the Commonwealth. When completed, the
RTTM will be the largest single deployment of a Bluetoothbased travel time system, encompassing over 675 miles of State
highway in a major metropolitan area. When fully deployed, it
is estimated that over 2.2 million motorists will view the Travel
Time Message Signs on a daily basis.
Dispatch Center - MA State Police (MSP)

The primary function of the MSP Dispatch
Center located in Framingham is to receive
911 calls and reroute them to the appropriate
barracks for response. The center has the ability
to trace the calls to obtain a more specific
location of the incident.
Games Traffic Management
It is envisioned that a Joint Operations Center
will be deployed during the Games with a clear
command and control protocol and use of an
integrated communication system to manage
traffic conditions and incidents in real time. The
plan will direct Games traffic using an online
travel demand system integrated with the ticketing
and accreditation processes. Travelers will be
distributed among transport modes and parking
options in accordance with measures to control
traffic during peak times. Boston 2024 will leverage
the alignment and passion for a great Olympic
and Paralympic Games felt by the community

to communicate and implement an effective
transportation demand management (TDM) program
that includes:
Avoidance and commuter peak shifting through marketing,
education and promotion of alternative modes
Higher occupancy modes for all travel to the core
(shifting auto use to transit and/or carpooling)
A regional intercept parking/regional bus system
Logistics management plan for regional and local
goods movement
Seamless, real-time customer traveler information.
Vehicle access and parking permits (VAPPs) and
local area permit parking plans will aid in managing
Olympic traffic. All traffic management personnel
will receive extensive training prior to the Games to
ensure efficient operations and proper enforcement
of traffic and parking regulations.

MEDIA TRANSPORTATION CONCEPT
The Media Transport System is generally expected

to be organized based on a hub and spoke design,
with the IBC/MPC at the center of the system.
Key to the success of the Media Transport System
is the compact nature of the city and the strong
transportation network as a result of the Olympic
Route Network and Bostons public transport
system. The components of the system are briefly
described below.
Main Press Center Access to Key Venues and the
Regional Connectivity
The IBC/MPC is located at the intersection of
two key regional roadways (Interstate 90 and
Interstate 93), is within 5 km of Boston-Logan
International Airport, and within 1 km of South
Station, Bostons busiest regional train hub.
These connections provide media personnel
with exceptional arrival and departure access via
diverse transportation modes.
Access to Key Olympic Venues and Locations
The IBC/MPCs location also provides it with
excellent connections to Olympic venues and
other Olympic related locations. Located in the
South Boston Waterfront Precinct, the IBC/MPC sits
adjacent to the Boston Convention and Exhibition
Center, site of several Olympic competitions. The
IBC/MPC is also located less than 1.5 kilometers
from Midtown Boston, the Hub of the Boston 2024
Olympic Plan, including the Olympic Stadium and
Olympic Plaza.
Shuttle buses will connect the IBC/MPC with
Midtown Boston and other Olympic precincts via
the Olympic Road Network, offering a reliable
transportation connection. Additionally, the IBC/
MPC is situated adjacent to several key transit lines
including the Red Line (with direct connections
to Midtown Boston, Harvard Square/Beacon Yards,
Downtown Boston and Athletes Village) and Silver
Line (with direct connections to the South Boston
Waterfront Precincts venues and Boston-Logan
International Airport). The shuttle bus and public
transport network combine to provide a flexible and
robust transportation offering to media personnel.
Media Accommodations
Critical to the success of the Media Transport
System is its integration with the media
accommodation scheme and the connections
between media accommodations, the IBC/MPC, and
other key Olympic locations. In order to minimize
the complexity and cost of the Media Transport
System, media accommodations will be clustered
with a transportation sub-hub servicing each
media accommodation cluster. These clusters will
be strategically located proximate to venue clusters
and public transportation. The largest media cluster,
expected to house approximately 30 percent of
the media, will be in the South Boston Waterfront
within walking distance of the IBC/MPC (within 1
km). As planned, Northeastern University and Boston
University housing would accommodate another 25
percent of the media. The Northeastern University
cluster is proximate to Ruggles Station on the
Orange Line and the Museum of Fine Arts Station
on the Green Line. The Boston University venues are
immediately adjacent to the Pleasant Street Station
on the Green line and within walking distance of
most venues within the University Cluster. It is
anticipated that the balance of the media will be
dispersed among identified hotels within the core
area. As previously mentioned, the vast majority
of these are located on or proximate to rapid
transit or rail public transportation services. Given
Bostons compact footprint, media accommodation
clusters will be located in close proximity to many
key Olympic locations, affording the opportunity
for media members to walk to Olympic related
destinations.
Finally, it is anticipated that some media may want
to be situated closer to the more remote venue
locations in Lowell and Foxborough. All of these
locations will be served by a transportation hub and
a network of shuttle buses that would bring media
back and forth to the IBC/MPC.

Introduction
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Boston is a city that has never been afraid to think

big. We are internationally-recognized thought
leaders, educators and innovators. From the
establishment of the countrys first public school to
our global cluster of biomedicine and technology,
we have redefined the boundaries of possibility.
Boston is home to more than 100 universities
and 75 hospitals, but our passion for progress
extends beyond the walls of these institutions. The
citys unwavering dedication to the pursuit of the
possible is nowhere better expressed than in its
love of sport.
Boston is a sport city like no other. We root loyally
for our professional sports teams, support our
collegiate athletic programs, cheer our children on
in youth sports and participate in club sports for
athletes of all ages and abilities. Bostons inclusive
sports culture connects us, creating welcoming and
close-knit communities.
It is only natural that a city that thinks so big and
loves sport so much would be wholeheartedly
committed to hosting the Olympic Games. The
2024 Olympic Games are Bostons Olympic dream. A
dream we are deeply dedicated to achieving.
This bid book demonstrates not only our strong
desire to host the 2024 Olympic Games, but also
our absolute technical ability to do so. We have
provided comprehensive feasibility studies for all
proposed competition venues. We have established
the immense popularity of Olympic sports within
our region, and we have highlighted our extensive
experience hosting national and international
sporting events in our city.
We will deliver an Olympic Games that is compact
and walkable. We have planned our distribution
of venues to complement Bostons robust public
transportation system. Of our 33 proposed venues,
28 will be located within 10km of the Athletes
Village and within walking distance of public
transportation. The Games will offer a unique
opportunity to advance planned infrastructure
improvements, increasing capacity and access
across the region.
The Boston 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games

master plan prioritizes affordability. We have worked
tirelessly to secure the support of both public and
private partners to deliver extraordinary venues
for the Games. Our strategy looks to public entities
to support improvements to public infrastructure,
such as roads and public transportation, and the
universities to partner in the development of new
venues and overlay of existing venues.
The Games will provide positive and long-lasting
social and environmental benefits to communities
across the region. By partnering with a number of
local universities, we will be able to provide our
world-class educational facilities with world-class
athletic facilities following the Games. We have
located several venues in neighborhoods where
they can be transitioned to community uses, such
as health and recreation centers. Other venues will
be directed towards development following the
Games, creating new economic opportunities for our
communities. And as part of our legacy planning,
improvements will be made to both the natural
and built environment surrounding proposed venue
sites, including the addition of sidewalks, street
trees, parks and other public spaces.
In the following pages, we confirm the feasibility
of our master plan by proving our ability to meet
the necessary requirements for the field of play and
support facilities for operations at all competition
venues. Our detailed venue plans represent our
deep commitment to deliver a compact, affordable
and sustainable Games for all.
We hope that you will join us in this innovative
vision for the Boston 2024 Olympic Games. A Games
that will celebrate Bostons role as a global leader
in education, innovation, sustainability and sport.
A Games that will inspire our youth and speak to
our legacy. A Games that will foster international
understanding and community. A Games that will
protect and advance the precious Olympic brand.

3.2.4 Sport Popularity

How popular is each sport in the city/region?
The City of Boston provides a depth of knowledge
and history in athletics nearly unrivaled across the
country. With historic universities and professional
teams, the community inherits a passion and
commitment to participation in sports from many
generations of engagement. From longest-run
competitions to the birthplace of sport to revered
historic stadiums, the spirit for athletic participation
within the region reaches from our families to the
fields.
Professional and master level sporting events
have long been a tradition in Boston. The oldest
collegiate athletic competition was established
in rowing between Harvard and Yale. One of the
longest-held American football games exists
between the two as well Harvard Stadium itself
is responsible for defining the field dimensions
for the sport. The Boston Marathon is the oldest
annually-run marathon in the world. The birthplace
of basketball hosts the Basketball Hall of Fame in
Springfield, the only sporting Hall of Fame in the
country to include international athletes. And the
oldest baseball stadium in the country boasts the
longest running sell-out attendance on record. With
34 professional championships 8 in the current
century alone Bostons participation in sport has
generations of legacy.
The Olympics are extremely popular in the United

States with an estimated 219.4 million viewers
watching the London 2012 Games, it became the
most-watched television event in American history.
Delayed and extended coverage allowed viewers
the opportunity to experience unfamiliar events.
These events have large international interest
and many of their advocates have developed their
sport in Boston through university or community
programs. And while events such as the Head of
the Charles Regatta and the Boston Marathon draw
crowds of 400,000 to 500,000 annually, established
programs from high school to community clubs are
giving rise to national championships in archery,
badminton, taekwondo, fencing and more all held
in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Events like the Boston Marathon define the
character of Bostons appreciation for athletics.
Support can be seen by the number of clubs
surrounding a sport, and the popularity of a
sport can be experienced by the passion of its
advocates, the engagement of the athletes and the
participation of its community. The passion inherent
in the community programs of Boston will intensify
the spirit of the Games, a spirit that will engage and
inspire a global community with the same passion.
Refer to the next page for an information graphic
describing the participation in sports from the
professional level to amateur and youth programs.

1. Venue History:
Franklin Park is a component of the Emerald Necklace, a vast
series of open green spaces designed by Frederick Law Olmsted
for the public of the City of Boston. Sitting comfortably to the
north of the park is White Stadium, formerly George Robert White
Schoolboy Stadium, which was erected in 1945 to serve Boston
Public School (BPS) athletics and sporting events. A renovation
and expansion is currently planned to return White Stadium
to its former glory. Used in the past for high school sports, the
renovated White Stadium will offer rejuvenated athletic fields as
well as classrooms for tutoring, making it a neighborhood hub.

Following designation as the official USOC applicant city for the
2024 Summer Games, community engagement with residents
can be completed. Preliminary studies on minimizing the rivers
flow have shown that appropriate flow is achievable. The venue
plan will have environmental impacts on the rivers edge;
however, the legacy plan leaves an expanded and improved river
walk for the City of Lowell.
The Merrimack River and the City of Lowell will host the Canoe
Sprint event. Lowell is located just off I-495 and U.S. Route 3.
Transit access between Boston and Lowell is provided by the
Lowell Commuter Rail Line. This site will offer supplemental

Following designation as the official USOC applicant city for the
2024 Summer Games, community engagement with residents
can be completed. Preliminary studies on minimizing the rivers
flow has shown that appropriate flow is achievable. The venue
plan will have environmental impacts along rivers edge;
however, the Boston 2024 team legacy is an expanded and
improved river walk for the City of Lowell.
The Merrimack River and the City of Lowell will host the Canoe
Sprint event. Lowell is located just off I-495 and U.S. Route 3.
Transit access between Boston and Lowell is provided by the
Lowell Commuter Rail Line. This site will offer supplemental
shuttle services for workforce, volunteer and spectator access key
transit stations and intercept parking locations.
