A Massport police car shuts down a dog park in East Boston. The park itself was planned by members of the community and funded by Massport, and sits underneath a massive raised highway that feeds into the Massport controlled airport. Two of the five dog owners I spoke with at the park had formerly worked for Massport, and we talked at great length about the level to which Massport feels invested and responsible for the East Boston community. The thrum of cars and planes is constant in East Boston, and only serves to reinforce the feeling that here transportation is king.
