An Act authorizing the grant of easements in or takings of certain parcels of land to the city of Boston
Executive: Signed by the Governor, Chapter 89 of the Acts of 2026
Summary
The law lets Boston’s Parks and Recreation Commission give a road easement to the Public Works Department so a new cancer hospital can be built near Joslin Park. In exchange, the city will abandon several existing street easements and receive land from the Joslin Diabetes Center, ensuring no net loss of parkland under Article 97. The changes only take effect after the required abandonments and deed transfers are completed.
