The feedback period has ended. We collected feedback through March 28. This page is now only being maintained for informational purposes. The information provided below is the same information that is in the comment map.  An existing parking inventory map is also available so that you can see the specific location of each type of parking.

To create space for separated bike lanes, we must remove one side of parking along most of this segment of Mass Ave. Since the Senior Center is on the south/west side of the street, we will be keeping the parking that is on this side of the street.

Optional Bus Stop Relocation Information

Mass Ave widens just before the Inman St intersection. We have the option to move the bus stop that is currently at City Hall to 831 Mass Ave. This move would allow us to use the additional street width to create 3-4 parking spaces in front of City Hall, including 2 disability parking spaces. If the community supports moving the bus stop, we will consider adding a crosswalk on Mass Ave, at the Bigelow St intersection. However, the bus stop would no longer be located at a signalized intersection. This may make it harder to cross Mass Ave after getting off the bus.

Side Streets - Option to Add Meters

alt

Important Details

We will consider converting some of the non-metered parking on these side streets to metered parking. We will not be making any other changes to side streets as a part of this project.
