Public meeting on Morton Street’s Future

Would a raised cycletrack like this one make it safe for you use Morton Street to bike to work? This meeting may be an ideal place to ask for one.

This meeting held by MassDOT is set to discuss several aspects of Morton Street on the border of Mattapan and Dorchester. This street has been identified by the city as wide enough to have a cycletrack (otherwise known as a physically separated bike lane) from Harvard Street to Shea Circle in Jamaica Plain (which would connect you to the bike path slated to be installed there along with the Casey Overpass, which would connect to the SW Corridor and all the way to Back Bay Station), but the state would need to hear from the community in order to install one.

We’ll leave it up to you, the residents of Dorchester and Mattapan, to decide if you’d like to step up to the microphone and suggest they do just that!

Here is what’s on the agenda (you can see why this might be an opportune moment, lots of related stuff!):

  • Morton Street Bridge Replacement Project,
  • Morton St. Roadway Safety Audit,
  • Casey Overpass Planning Study
  • MassDOT Job Training Opportunities

Here are the details:
