The massive development planned west of Fenway Park has added a number of elements on community wishlists, including affordable housing and a confirmed space for a new daycare.

Fenway Corners, a 2 million square foot plan from WS Development stretched across four blocks, has been in a series of public meetings for a year now.

Those consultations with prominent community members have netted a couple new additions to the plan, most notably 40 to 50 new apartments and more concrete details for a proposed daycare.

Planners announced the additions at a May 11 meeting with the projects’ Community Advisory Committee (CAC), 15 community stakeholders charged with representing the neighborhood as the project progresses.

Yanni Tsipis, a senior vice president with WS Development, said the additions were proof that the project’s proponents were truly committed to fulfilling the community’s needs.

“We’re looking for a level of engagement and involvement with the community that goes far beyond what would be typical, but we’re long-term owners. Our partners have been in the neighborhood for generations and we’re taking a long-term view of our presence here,” he said.

Reactions from the CAC and public were largely encouraging.

The space selected for the daycare gives it easy access to David Ortiz Drive and the adjacent Lansdowne commuter rail station, and housing is a perpetual request from community members of new developments.

A quarter of the forty to fifty apartments in the proposed five-floor addition to 110 Brookline Avenue would qualify as affordable housing.

“I really like the location of the childcare center,” said Tim Horn, one of the CAC members. “Being close to mass transit makes the location far better than the alternatives. I’m also glad to see any addition of residential units, though the details are still uncertain.

I’d love to see Fenway’s zoning actually enforced to give us some actual middle-class housing.”

“This responsiveness and willingness to make significant adjustments is very beneficial,” said Tom Yardley, the vice president of area planning and development for the Longwood Medical Area’s Medical Academic and Scientific Community Organization.

“We’re an international hub of healthcare, and access for patients, visitors and employees is our number one concern. The challenge for this project, like many others, is that we’re kind of reaching a cap on our public transit network. Just eliminating parking spaces and shifting this won’t cut it without wider public transit solutions.”

The project still has plenty of ground to cover before it comes before the Boston Planning and Development Agency board for a vote, and even longer before completion is within sight due to WS Development’s proposal to keep the CAC involved in a separate review process for each of the proposal’s four blocks.

Despite the progress made toward satisfying community needs, questions around elements such as traffic remain unresolved.

“Traffic analysis needs to take game days into account. When you’re talking about removing vehicular access to a public roadway, none of the other projects that have tried it occurred in places where thirty to fifty thousand people often come through the area, let alone areas with so many labs. A single emergency can significantly shift stressors on the road network,” said Marie Fukuda.

The public comment period for Fenway Corners ended last July, but the BPDA is still accepting input from members of the public looking to get involved.
