What To Expect

At all three events, we'll cover key information about the project. This includes:

• Overview of the project, including timeline, project goals, benefits and impacts, and key design features.
• Detailed plans for Section A of the project. Section A is between Portland St and Columbia St. Click here to see a map of the project sections. This is a first draft, which we will then make changes based on your feedback.

We will post the presentation and meeting materials ahead of time. We'll share an email when these materials become available. A recording of the meeting, including question and answer will be posted afterwards.
