The City of Boston is refining concept designs for Atherton Street and Beethoven Street at Egleston Square to create safer streets for all.

These concepts are based on earlier community meetings where your neighbors provided input on Atherton Street. We updated the initial concepts and now we'd like your help again! Please consider joining our pop-up meeting to learn about the design options and provide your input.

We'll be hosting an in-person pop up (with Spanish interpretation available) and two virtual meetings, one in English and one in Spanish. See the attached flyer for additional details about the virtual events.
