In conjunction with ongoing signal timing and phasing re-programming for the
Back Bay area, coordinate with BTD to adjust and modify signal timings and
offsets along Boylston Street and Huntington Avenue for the study area

part of the traffic analyses for Exeter Residences and 888 Boylston Street site
generated trips.
The Proponent will coordinate with BTD to provide signage related to parking
restrictions and commercial loading along the frontage of the two proposed
buildings on Boylston Street and Exeter Street
The Proponent will coordinate with BTD in enforcing no double parking along
Exeter Street between Boylston Street and Huntington Avenue
The Proponent will coordinate with City of Boston to provide a forty (40) feet
No-standing and No-Stopping curb area in front of the Exeter Residences and
888 Boylston building entrances to accommodate pick-up and drop-off activities
for the proposed buildings and the Prudential Center Arcade.
The Proponent will coordinate with BTD to upgrade pavement markings on
Exeter Street to include striping for crosswalks, parking, turning lanes and center
line.
The Proponent will coordinate with BTD to provide ADA compliant accessible
ramps at the driveway location leading to the parking access for the Exeter

4.7 Transportation Demand Management
The Transportation Access Plan Agreement (TAPA) for the Prudential Center
Redevelopment has established a comprehensive TDM program for the Prudential
Center. Based on the transportation analysis provided above, the Exeter Residences
and the proposed change in the program for 888 Boylston will have only a minor
impact on the transportation system and will not require any changes in the
previously approved transportation mitigation measures, except as suggested as part
of the proposal discussed in this DPIR. In conjunction with the existing TAPA for the
Prudential Center site, the Proponent will commit to implementing TDM elements
and activities to reduce Single Occupancy Vehicles and encourage transit use.
Overall as discussed above, upon completion of the proposed Exeter Residences and
888 Boylston buildings, the traffic impacts are expected to be minor. The updated
