- -["\"The coastline of Chelsea Creek is one of the lowest-lying areas of the East Boston study area. Once the outlet of a tidal creek named Crooked Creek, the area was filled in the early 20th century for urban and industrial development. This filled land is at a lower elevation than the historic coastlines and is thus more vulnerable to flooding. Flood pathways originating from Chelsea Creek contribute to the most extensive and significant future coastal flooding in the study area. By the 2030s, flood pathways resulting from a 1% annual chance storm are projected to overtop the coastline, cross Route 1A, and flow into the central portions of the neighborhood. This includes residential properties in Brandywyne Village, lower Orient Heights, and Harbor View, as well as along Saratoga, Bennington, and Boardman Streets. This flooding will also affect \ncommunity assets such as the Martin Pino Community Center and Noyes Playground.\"\n\n\"The near-term strategy includes three options for reducing near-term coastal flood risks. The options include implementing a floodwall within an unutilized rail right-of-way located between Route 1A (also called the William F. McClellan Highway) and Chelsea Creek owned by the MBTA, in the median of Route 1A, or along the southbound sidewalk. Near-term options will need to be studied in collaboration with MassDOT and the MBTA to determine technical feasibility and ensure consistency with long-term plans for transit and transportation improvement in the area. \"\n\n(Source: \"Coastal Resilience Solutions for East Boston and Charlestown Phase II\", pg 110-112)"]
