Construction on a new "MassDot Mobility Hub" is under way, with the first 235 of 432 planned parking spaces below Interstate 93 in the South End slated for substantial completion next month.
The state Department of Transportation is soliciting businesses, real estate developers and others who are interested in renting the parking spaces or operating the lots. The agency is feeling out the market, asking respondents to a nonbinding request for information to name what they're willing to pay per spot.
"MassDOT could task one of its existing parking operators with operating these new spaces, or we could enter into a lease or license with another entity or entities," spokeswoman Sara Lavoie said.
The three lots will be developed on an eight-acre swath under I-93 — from Herald Street to Randolph Street — that's transitioning from industrial to residential and commercial uses. MassDOT previously used the space for construction staging and storage.
"MassDot intends to improve connectivity between the surrounding neighborhoods for pedestrians and bicyclists, improve the ability of the traveling public to shift transportation modes at the facility, and design and construct urban ... enhancements which create a sense of place and encourage additional use of the site," the RFI states. MassDOT is working with neighborhood groups, adjacent developers and the Boston Redevelopment Authority on those enhancements, which could include artistic lighting, murals or art installations.
The Washington Gateway Main Street program secured a $5,000 grant to hire Street Plans Collaborative to lead community efforts, and Normandy Real Estate Partners, which plans a 380-unit apartment complex on Albany Street, has offered $250,000 to enliven the space.
The second phase of the project will include construction of a new pathway connecting the South Bay Harbor Trail to Kneeland Street, a Boston Harborwalk extension along the Fort Point Channel and open space.
