Traffic Advisory for Saturday and Sunday, June 24 and 25, 2017

The Avon Walk for Breast Cancer and the Boston Athletic Association 10K will take place in Boston this weekend.  Traffic and parking will be impacted.  All users of Boston’s streets are urged to proceed with caution and be aware of the additional people walking in the City and using local roadways.

Attendees are encouraged not to drive their personal vehicles into Boston for the events.  Information on Hubway, the regional bike-share service, may be found at www.theHubway.com and information on the MBTA may be found at www.MBTA.com .  For a faster return trip, the MBTA advises riders to purchase a round-trip rather than a one-way ticket.  Walking is also a great way to travel around Boston.

Saturday, June 24, and Sunday, June 25

The Avon Walk for Breast Cancer will take place on both days on walking routes that traverse the City.  Streets will not be closed to traffic for designated periods of time as most walking will take place on sidewalks.  However, as large groups of participants will be crossing streets, drivers and bicyclists should expect delays, specifically when turning at intersections.
