November 22, 2021: The City of Boston Planning & Development Agency (BPDA), notified the community today, of their decision: 

"After a lengthy review and serious consideration, we have decided to reject all three proposals. We look forward to continuing the dialogue through further collaboration as we work together to determine the next steps for the Pier 5 site.

Advocacy For Open Space:
Throughout the past several months, the BPDA has received significant advocacy for the construction of a public park to replace Pier 5. The BPDA is highly supportive of public open space along the water’s edge and ensuring access to the harbor."

This is a significant positive step in Pier 5 Association campaign to restore and develop the pier as an open, public waterfront for all. 

Stay tuned for further updates and next steps. We are grateful for the support of more than 3,200 supporters through change.org and the neighborhood campaign.
