J. Pace & Son Location at 42 Cross Street to Become Parking Lot

Posted on Author Matt ContiComments(9)

Joseph Pace, property owner at 42 Cross Street, is seeking a zoning change from commercial space to allow for parking on the property. Represented by Giovanni Demambro at the September 14, 2015 North End / Waterfront Neighborhood Council (NEWNC) meeting, it was explained that the building will be torn down and replaced with 12 parking spaces. The site is the location of the longtime J. Pace & son store that closed in October 2014. 

The proponent said Joe Pace would like the parking lot to eventually be replaced by a new building. In addition to the poor condition of the building, the configuration of the expressway ramps after the Big Dig has left the location in a poor spot regarding foot traffic, said DeMarco.

Developers have expressed interest in the property but there has been no agreement because they haven’t been willing to “do right” by the neighborhood. Abutters have expressed their current preference for a parking lot rather than a building. A temporary sandwich shop is also being considered in addition to the parking lot.

    1. ‘the building will be torn down and replaced with 12 parking spaces’ is what the article says !!

      WILL BE – 2 important words.

    2. Interesting question. I wonder how the city interprets “[applies only to] spaces open to the general public” – specifically “general public”. Does renting the spaces on a monthly basis, for example, satisfy the not available to the general public requirement? I’ve always wondered if the lot on Cross/Fulton did the same for that exact reason.

      (jamison, I’m not sure what you’re getting at with your comment. Are you implying that the owner has in fact gotten approval already?)

  3. After all the money we’ve spent on the Greenway, it would be a shame just to have a parking lot there .

  4. Please, Mr. Pace, do right by the neighborhood and put some landscaping to make this parking area something other than cars fencing, and asphalt.

  6. Just add another eye sore to an already traffic snarled area,the public has little chance of getting a spot out of those 12. The deepest pocket wins here
