Massachusetts Ave. Walkshop to be Held Thursday
The town is seeking public feedback to help make Arlington Center more customer and pedestrian friendly.
ARLINGTON, MA—After inclement weather cancelled the original May 5 Mass. Ave Walkshop, residents will take to Mass. Ave Thursday and contribute public feedback to the planning process of Arlington Center.
The newly rescheduled walkshop takes place at 6 p.m. Thursday and will run until 7:30 p.m. Residents are asked to meet at the steps in front of Town Hall, and will be walking the corridor with staff and consultants to discuss key locations identified during the first session.
If you can't make the Walkshop, you can follow along on Twitter via the hashtag #Arlwaklshop.
