The Massachusetts Executive Office of Transportation, in conjunction with the City of Boston, is pleased to announce a public meeting to discuss the impacts of two transportation planning projects on the Allston neighborhood. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, November 5, 2008 from 7 – 9 PM at the Allston Brighton Resource Center, 367 Western Avenue, Allston, MA.

The meeting will include presentations on the Urban Ring Phase 2, a proposed bus rapid transit line that would serve a circumferential “ring” passing through Boston, Brookline, Cambridge, Chelsea, Everett, Medford and Somerville, as well as a presentation on the Allston Multi-Modal Station Study, intended to identify feasibility of improved transit service along the Framingham/Worcester commuter rail line.
