Back Bay Ramps Study - Advisory Group Meeting

Tuesday, June 12th - 6:00-8:00pm
@ Boston Public Library, Mezzanine Conference Room, 700 Boylston St, Boston [map]

Hosted by MassDOT

At this meeting we will be reviewing the results of the Central Transportation Planning Staff’s work modeling the anticipated changes in regional travel patterns that would result from the construction of the four alternatives outlined below that were advanced through the earlier stages of the study.

Back Bay Ramp Alternatives:

  • Alternative 1: Construction of a new I-90 westbound off-ramp to Berkeley Street with closure of the existing I-90 westbound on-ramp from Arlington Street.
  • Alternative 2: Construction of a new I-90 westbound off-ramp to Trinity Place with closure of the existing I-90 westbound on-ramps from Clarendon Street and Arlington Street.
  • Alternative 3: Construction of a new I-90 westbound off-ramp to Brookline Avenue.
  • Alternative 4: Construction of a new I-90 eastbound on-ramp from the Bowker Overpass northbound.

The meeting will also include a discussion of the potential for additional CTPS modeling work analyzing alternative configurations of the Bowker Overpass. Staff from MassDOT will also be on hand to discuss the planned project to repair the Bowker Overpass.

We are interested in having a broad representation of the public at this meeting.
