Red Line/Blue Line Connector Public Meeting

in

The proposed Red Line/Blue Line Connector would link the only two lines that do not currently intersect within the MBTA's rapid transit system. The Blue Line, which is the shortest line in the system, runs from Bowdoin Station in downtown Boston to Wonderland Station in Revere, a distance of approximately seven miles. This project would extend the Blue Line approximately 1,500 feet underneath Cambridge Street to make a connection with Charles/MGH Station on the Red Line.

A Public Meeting on the Red Line/Blue Line Connector Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) will be held

Monday, May 3, 2010

5:30 PM (Open House)
