Event: Chelsea Walk – Eastern Ave to Broadway

We’re looking forward to you joining us for Wednesday evening’s walk (tomorrow). Summer has come early – it will be HOT! Consider bringing water, a hat for shade, and wearing comfortable clothing. If you’re meeting us in Chelsea, we’ll gather by the multi-use path at the Eastern Ave Station around 5:30pm. Look for people with WalkBoston signs!

If you are taking the Silver Line from South Station, meet us at 5pm on the Silver Line platform, where a group will take the SL3 to meet everyone else in Chelsea. If you miss us, don’t panic! Just hop on the next SL3. The bus is scheduled to run every 10 minutes from 4-6pm (and every 12 minutes after that), and our first two speaking locations are on the multi-use path along the busway.

We will walk along the Silver Line busway’s new multi-use path and down Broadway to examine creative affordable housing and transportation initiatives, ending at Tijuana Restaurant (164 Broadway) for food, drink, and continued conversation. A copy of the map below will be handed out tomorrow.

If you’re heading back into town at the end of the walk, the 111 bus is just 2-3 blocks from Tijuana Restaurant and runs directly to Downtown Crossing every 7-10 minutes.
