MassDOT Hearing Set on Davis Path Footbridge Reconstruction

MassDOT will hold a virtual design public hearing on Tuesday, Oct. 20, at 6:30 p.m. on the town's plan to rebuild the Davis Path Footbridge over the MBTA Green Line. The reconstruction would create an accessible link across the tracks, which now separate the northern and southern parts of Brookline Village, and provide universal access to Boylston Street Playground. Registration is through Zoom, and MassDOT says a recording will be available for those who cannot attend.
