This Environmental Impact Report (EIR) documents the proposed development of the "500 Boylston Street Project" in Boston, Massachusetts. Prepared in 1983, the report details the potential environmental consequences of constructing a large commercial building at 500 Boylston Street. The study encompasses various areas, including traffic, air quality, noise, and visual impacts. It was commissioned by New England Mutual Life Insurance Company and Gerald D. Hines Interests, Inc., with architectural design by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and transportation analysis by Vanasse/Hangen, Inc. This report provides a valuable historical record of urban planning considerations and environmental regulations in Boston during the early 1980s and serves as a case study for understanding the environmental review process for large-scale construction projects.
