Concept Designs for Mass Ave Corridor Released At Arlington Town Hall

ARLINGTON, MA – The Town of Arlington will share final project concept designs for the Mass Ave corridor from Quinn Road to Richardson Avenue at its third and final Town Hall.

The Mass Ave/Appleton Street Safety and Accessibility Corridor Project meeting will be held in-person on Wednesday, March 15 at 7 p.m. in the Arlington Town Hall Auditorium at 730 Massachusetts Ave. Attendees can access the building from the Mass Avenue entrance.

The meeting will cover public input from previous meetings, how this input was used to inform final design decisions, and how the final designs meet the goals of the project.

Throughout 2021, the Town developed short-term safety improvements to the Mass Ave/Appleton Street/Appleton Place intersection through the work of the Mass Ave/Appleton Design Review Committee.

The short-term improvements came in response to the fatal vehicle crash of 27-year-old Charlie Proctor in 2020, and were implemented in November 2021.

Long-term improvements will be developed through a redefined corridor project along Mass Ave between Richardson Ave and Quinn Road, according to the Town website.
