JFK/UMass Station Area Action Plan Open House

Review draft recommendations for the JFK/UMass Station Area Action Plan!

July 18, 2024
Event Date2024-07-18T18:00:00 - 2024-07-18T20:00:00

We need your input to help guide the plan for the JFK/UMass Station Area! We're looking forward to speaking with you again after our first outreach period in 2023. Since the last open house, we have been developing improvement ideas to address challenges and opportunities identified by the community and working with City and MBTA departments to refine ideas into draft recommendations to achieve the vision for the JFK/UMass Station Area.

We are now asking for community feedback on draft recommendations for the project area!

Community members can visit the interactive stations at their own pace to learn more about the plan and to share their thoughts on the proposed short-term, mid-term, and long-term visions for the station area.

We look forward to speaking with you about your vision for the future of the JFK/UMass Station Area. Interpretation will be available in Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Haitian Creole, and Cape Verdean Creole.
