Official Text

That the Executive Director of the Office of Strategic Planning and Community Development (Mobility)

advise the Ward 7 Councilor when they will implement the Mobility Plan re: West Broadway portion (Route16 to Teele Sq) to the Holland Street plan for a dedicated bus lane. The 2021 plan should include the entire transit corridor. The proposed Holland Street dedicated bus route is most impactful when the West Broadway portion is included in the project. Residents get on the busses at Route16/Broadway to go to Davis Square. The busses are trying to move hundreds of people, and they are being held up in traffic which is clogged in Teele Square.
