Battle Green Streetscape Improvement Project Public Meeting February 1

Join Town staff for a presentation on the proposed improvements planned as part of the Battle Green Streetscape Project. Staff will be available to collect feedback and answer any questions.


Tue., February 1 - 7:00 PM

Join via Zoom

Passcode: 085153


About the Project

The Battle Green Streetscape Project, in some respects, is an extension of the Center Streetscape Project currently under construction. The project limits fall just beyond the following three intersections around the Battle Green: Bedford St. at Mass Ave., Mass. Ave. at Harrington. St. and Bedford St at Hancock St and Harrington Rd.


The goals of the project include pedestrian and bicycle safety, vehicular safety, and improved connectivity and accessibility. There is a proposal for a roundabout at the intersection of Bedford Street / Harrington Road / Hancock Street due to the high accident rate at this location.


The intent is to have construction completed in advance of the 2025 celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Lexington. To meet this deadline, Town staff is requesting construction funding at the 2022 Annual Town Meeting. If approved, the funds would be available to begin construction in calendar year 2023 and the project would be complete ahead of the 2025 celebration.


Learn more about this project.
