About the Project
The Lynnway is a major roadway, part of Route 1A, and is owned and operated by DCR. The project area extends north from the General Edwards Bridge at the Revere city line to just north of Market Street and serves as a significant north-south connection to and within the city. For decades, the Lynnway’s design has prioritized the movement of motor vehicles, resulting in a difficult and intimidating area for pedestrians, cyclists, and bus riders to navigate, and serving as a barrier to the waterfront.
The Lynnway Multimodal Corridor Project will include safety and reliability improvements for all modes of transportation – from those who drive, walk, and bike to those who take public transportation. As part of this project, there will also be improved access both across and along the Lynnway, making it safer for people to access places like the new Harbor Park.
The Lynnway Multimodal Corridor Project builds upon several plans from the MBTA, City of Lynn, and Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR). Safe, multimodal transportation improvements to the Lynnway are essential to supporting the City’s vision for the area to transform it as a gateway to the Lynn community.
Accommodations
This meeting is accessible to people with disabilities and those with limited proficiency in English. Spanish interpretation will be available at the Lynn Open House and Virtual Public Meeting. Accessibility accommodations and language services will be provided free of charge, upon request, as available. For more information or to request a reasonable accommodation and/or language services, please email BetterBusProject@mbta.com
