M St. Park Improvements Promised On Thursday May 1st South Boston’s elected leaders and staff toured M Street Park with Parks Department Chief Engineer Stan Ivan and Project Manager Scott Dupree regarding ongoing construction. The City of Boston through its Capital Investment Plan will spend over $600,000 to stabilize and refurbish the ever decaying concrete bleachers. The Parks Dept. along with South Boston officials developed a plan nearly three years ago to address safety issues and create sections for seating that would reflect present use.

The remedy outlined below will clean up the area and make it safe, resulting in a much more attractive and useful park. Click on the headline for rest of text.
