Public Meeting | Route 107/Western Ave. Informational Meeting

A Virtual Public Informational Meeting will be hosted on the MassDOT website link below to present the design for the proposed project in Lynn along Route 107/Western Avenue.

The purpose of this meeting is to provide the public with the opportunity to become fully acquainted with the proposed project.  All views and comments submitted in response to the meeting will be reviewed and considered to the maximum extent possible.

The proposed project consists of improvements for pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicle safety and operations along Route 107 (Western Avenue) in Lynn between the Federal Street roundabout and the Linton Road intersection (approximately two (2) miles). Fifteen traffic signals will be installed or upgraded as part of the Project. Besides the locations along the Western Avenue (Route 107) corridor, the signalized location upgrades will include Boston Street at Franklin Street, Boston Street at Washington Street, Chestnut Street at Maple Street, and Waitt Avenue at Eastern Avenue. Separated sidewalk-grade bicycle accommodations will be provided.

This meeting is accessible to people with disabilities. MassDOT provides reasonable accommodations and/or language assistance free of charge upon request (e.g interpreters in American Sign Language and languages other than English, live captioning, videos, assistive listening devices and alternate material formats), as available.  For accommodation or language assistance, please contact MassDOT’s Chief Diversity and Civil Rights Officer by phone (857-368-8580),  TTD/TTY at (857) 266-0603, fax (857) 368-0602 or by email (MassDOT.CivilRights@dot.state.ma.us).  Requests should be made as soon as possible and prior to the meeting, and for more difficult to arrange services including sign-language, CART or language translation or interpretation, requests should be made at least ten business days before the meeting.
