Fenway area streetscape meeting Monday, October 22 6:30 p.m.

Posted by John Kelly

There will be a important community meeting on Monday, Oct. 22 at 6:30pm at the Boston Arts Academy, 174 Ipswich St., behind Fenway Park. The city Transportation Department will be discussing plans for big changes in the roads around Fenway Park.

The big question for access is whether we can get a ramp installed from the Bowker overpass (the top of Boylston street) down into Kenmore square. Right now the only way to get to Kenmore square from anywhere east of The Fens is to go all the way around by Brookline Avenue. On game days, this can be a real nightmare.

The Legislature inserted language into the appropriation bill which talked about access improvements to the area, but we still have to fight for it.

The more people that come, the more they listen.
