The Streets / New Chardon/North Washington Street
Future Crossroad -
New Chardon/North Washington Street becomes a vibrant connector between
Charlestown, the Bulfinch Triangle, Government Center and Beacon Hill as new
development emerges along either side on former Central Artery land.
Activity and buildings which once shunned the Artery turn back towards the
street-new housing and a grocery store recreate an edge along Washington
Street, the YMCA forms a gateway to the Greenway, and buildings along New
Chardon Street adapt ground floor uses to attract passers-by heading from
Cambridge Street and Beacon Hill into the Triangle and towards the Freedom
Trail to Charlestown. North Washington/New Chardon along the edge of the
Bulfinch Triangle becomes a comfortable and welcoming route to and from the
Triangle for the burgeoning residential population and visitors drawn to the
reestablished nightlife around the TD Banknorth Garden.
