Blue Hill Ave: Mattapan Square Transportation Action Plan

Please join an online meeting to discuss transportation improvements being planned in Mattapan Square. At this meeting we will summarize the options previously presented for the parking in Mattapan Square and the large intersection where Blue Hill Avenue, River Street, and Cummins Highway come together, and the setting for the RISE gateway sculptures. We will highlight areas where there is widespread agreement (such as pedestrian safety improvements), seek additional feedback on the options, and describe next steps on how a decision will be made.
