Demonstrations begin against the proposed construction of a natural gas pipeline through West Roxbury.

Nearly 100 residents protest at a rotary on the West Roxbury Parkway against a plan to build the pipeline, which would pass near a local quarry in which blasting takes place. Demonstrations continue for almost two years, including one by some 200 people at Billings Field on September 27, 2015, one at which a dozen ministers are arrested at the West Roxbury Crushed Stone Quarry on May 25, 2016, and one at which 23 people, including Karenna Gore, daughter of former vice president Al Gore, are arrested on Grove Street on June 29, 2016. Boston Municipal Court judge Mary Ann Driscoll subsequently dismisses charges against the protestors, but the pipeline is completed and begins operation on December 1, 2016.
