Overview   of Improvements to Hammond Pond Parkway in Newton Public Meeting #2

At this remotely held public meeting, the DCR team for this project and its engineering design consultant, BSC Group, will present the 75% design of a pedestrian- and bike-friendly redesign of Hammond Pond Parkway in Newton, from Boylston Street (Route 9) to Beacon Street. The proposed project will feature a two-lane road diet of this segment of Hammond Pond Parkway, a new twelve-food bike/pedestrian greenway, native landscaping, historic lighting, new crosswalks and trail entries, a redesign of the Beacon Street intersection, and a new four-foot walking path on the eastern side of the parkway.

If you need assistance joining the meeting, please contact Daniel.Cushing@mass.gov. After the presentation, the public will be invited to ask questions and provide feedback on the proposed design, using the raise hand and chat functionality that will be available through the virtual participation platform. Please note that Teams has a maximum capacity of 300 participants.
