Please note that the purpose of this meeting is different from that of a traditional community meeting. As part of the development review process, IAG members work closely with BPDA staff to identify the impacts of a project and recommend appropriate community benefits to offset those impacts. IAG meetings prioritize discussion between the project proponent (i.e. the developer) and IAG members.

In this virtual public meeting, the Boston Streets Cabinet will share information about the reconstruction of State Street.  State Street is one of the oldest streets in Boston. With this project, we will rebuild it for everyone who uses it ⁠— from people who live nearby to visitors from across the world.

We aim to finalize the design in the summer of 2024. We plan to rebuild this historic street with:

• sidewalks that are accessible to the thousands of daily pedestrians
• upgraded street lighting
• safe bicycle accommodations, and
• vital commercial loading for small businesses.

The Route 57 Transit Priority Corridor Project Team has updated designs and information to share about the project, which will change the way the street works on Tremont, Washington, and Cambridge Streets in Allston and Brighton. This includes removing parking to add bus lanes, adding space at streetcorners to improve visibility, and reducing pedestrian crossing distances to improve safety. We've taken feedback from the community at our last meeting, and incorporated it into our design.

Dinner will be provided.
