StreetTalk: How overpasses are so 1950’s
co-sponsored by On the Move Coalition
Wednesday, June 27th 7:00-9:00pm @ Brickbottom Artists Building, 1 Fitchburg Street, Somerville, MA Open to the public-suggested $5-$10 donation Beverages provided by Harpoon Brewery
Overpasses are becoming a thing of the past. The Casey Overpass in Jamaica Plain, Sullivan Square Overpass in Charlestown, and overpasses across the country are coming down and city streets are being redesigned. Will the McCarthy Overpass in Somerville become the next overpass to come down? Or will MassDOT spend $11
million to repair the structure which acts a barrier for you to get where you want to go? Come to Brickbottom to get the latest news on the McCarthy Overpass project, the Remove McGrath Campaign, and hear how other cities are removing their overpasses. How has the McCarthy Overpass affected the Environmental Justice communities along the McGrath corridor? What is the timeline of this project?
