What has happened since the last time we discussed Mattapan Square + Blue Hill Ave as a community over cocktails and mocktails? Consult LeLa and SPARK Boston are coming back to Kay's Oasis!

Hear project updates from Consult LeLa, Boston Transportation Department, Boston Planning and Development Agency, and the MBTA and about what they have heard from residents like you since July 2022. Not only that, you can still give your feedback in an informal environment, without the pressure of a traditional public meeting. Come through, enjoy food by Everybody Gotta Eat, vibe with DJ Whysham, and enjoy the cash bar with us!

There will be a 30-minute speaking portion to highlight the Mattapan Square section of the Blue Hill Avenue Transportation Action Plan. There is also an opportunity to plug into SPARK Boston with the open 2023-2024 SPARK Boston Council applications!
