The Department of Transportation (Mass DOT) is making significant improvements to the intersection of Cedar St and Massachusetts Ave, which will provide improved access to the Linear Park Path. The plan includes re-aligning the intersection of Cedar St and Massachusetts Ave so Cedar St meets Massachusetts Ave at a right angle. An adjacent landscaped area will be relocated to the opposite side of Cedar St and new trees planted. Crosswalks of Cedar St and Massachusetts Ave will be located at this new intersection and will allow path users to cross during each cycle of the traffic signal without having to push a pedestrian button. Mass DOT’s contractor, J.J. Phelan & Sons, will soon begin improvements to the Linear Park Path, on Cedar St at Massachusetts Ave. Construction at this location is expected to take 2-3 months to complete. During a portion of the work (about 3 days), Cedar St will be closed during work hours, and a detour will be in place. An additional notice with information on the detour will be distributed in advance of the work.
