Newton Corner Long-Term Planning Study Working Group Meeting #1

Date: Wednesday, May 22, 2024
Time: 10:30 a.m.
Location: Newton Free Library, 330 Homer Street, Newton, MA 02459

This is the first Working Group meeting of the Newton Corner Long-Term Planning study. It will be held in person at the Newton Free Library, 330 Homer Street, Newton, MA 02459.

The Newton Corner Long-Term Planning Study will develop and analyze transportation alternatives to improve the Newton Corner I-90 Interchange, located at Exit 127 (formerly Exit 17). Building on MassDOT Highway Division's Newton Corner Improvements Project to implement short and mid-term improvements, this study will consider long-term means to improve safety, congestion, accessibility, mobility, connectivity, quality of life, and climate resilience in the area. A Working Group of local stakeholders will inform the MassDOT team on local perspectives throughout the study.

At this meeting, the Study Team will present the study background and review the study area, draft goals and objectives, and the evaluation criteria for the alternatives to be developed later in this study. Members of the Working Group will have the opportunity to provide feedback and there will be a public comment period.

Working Group meetings are focused on providing a discussion forum for invited working group members. Members of the public and other interested stakeholders are welcome to attend and submit questions and comments. We ask all attendees to maintain a respectful dialogue throughout the study process.

Comments may be submitted in advance of this meeting via email to: planning@dot.state.ma.us.
