Project Overview:
The proposed project aims to enhance safety and reduce congestion by reconstructing Columbia Road and Kosciuszko Circle. Plans include modernizing the roadway configurations and improving bicycle and pedestrian accommodations across I-93.
Why It Matters:
Kosciuszko Circle has long been a notorious bottleneck, often referred to as a “circle of hell” due to its gridlocked traffic during rush hours. This reconstruction project presents an opportunity to address these longstanding issues and improve daily commutes for Southie residents.
Get Involved:
Community input is crucial. All views and comments made at the meeting will be reviewed and considered to the maximum extent possible. Your feedback will help shape the future of this vital corridor.Mass.gov
