The City of Boston wants to connect the Southwest Corridor to Downtown, Beacon Hill, and the West End. It plans to improve pedestrian crossings and add on-street bike facilities.

Connect Downtown creates a network of comfortable, on-street walking and bicycling routes. The city's goal is to connect the existing Southwest Corridor Park to key locations in Downtown, Beacon Hill, and beyond. Through this project, Boston will:

• Improve pedestrian crossings along the route
• Provide comfortable, reasonably direct routes for bicyclists, and
• Enhance pedestrian access to the Public Garden and Common.

The project will connect to jobs, education, retail, and other major destinations. The city plans to design the project in a way that allows for faster construction.

• At the Central Library, enter the Johnson Building from Boylston Street. The location is just inside the entrance to the left of the Information Desk.
• At the West End Library, enter and walk past the circulation desk. Keep walking straight until you get to a small study room on the left.
