Mid-Fall Update - Week 11/4

Late last month, crews successfully paved Avon Street and Berkeley Street. This follows final paving on Summer Street (~School Street to Belmont Street) and Westwood Road the previous week.

Since that point crews have been continuing sidewalk work on Central Street (Summer St. to Highland Ave.) and the southern (even-numbered) side of Summer Street (School Street to Bow Street) as well as installing new pavement marking and signage on the recently paved portion of Summer Street.

New roadway paving and green stormwater infrastructure on Avon Street

New center-line striping on final along Summer Street

This work will continue over the coming weeks prior to crews breaking for the winter season.

Spring/Summer 2025

When crews return in the spring they will be working on northern (odd-numbered) side sidewalk reconstruction, the westbound (toward Davis Square) cycle track, raised crossings, a new floating bus stop, green stormwater infrastructure (bioretention basins), a pocket park at the corner of Quincy Street, tree planting, and final roadway paving.

Final paving on all other remaining project streets including Central Street, School Street, Oxford Street, Hersey Street, Gibbens Street, and Cambria Street will take place in spring/summer 2025.
