Safe, multimodal transportation improvements to the Lynnway are essential to supporting the City’s vision for the area. The major developments under construction will help enhance the transformation of the Lynnway as a gateway to the Lynn community. This project will also support access to new developments and community spaces, including the Lynn Harbor Park opening this summer.
This project builds upon several plans from the MBTA, City of Lynn, and Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR).
Project Benefits
This project will redesign the Lynnway with people in mind and will include:

Safety improvements for people traveling along and across the Lynnway, with a focus on those who walk, bike, and ride transit:

Shorter, more accessible, and more frequent pedestrian crossings

Traffic calming to reduce speeding, especially during off-peak hours

Infrastructure to make bus trips faster and more reliable to the Blue Line, Ferry Terminal, Commuter Rail Station and downtown Lynn, along with enhanced bus stop amenities

Safer access to Lynn’s waterfront, new Harbor Park, and other green spaces

Dedicated bicycle infrastructure that provides safe connectivity to the Nahant Beach and progress towards a Northern Strand connection

Upgraded traffic signal infrastructure for more efficient operations
