Description

Press release from the Town of Wakefield: June 16, 2022 The MBTA's Bus Network Redesign reimagines the bus network to reflect shifting demographics, emerging employment districts, increasing traffic congestion, and changing travel patterns to create a better experience for current and future bus riders. Proposed network maps are now available, and a public meeting for the Minuteman and Metro North network (which services Wakefield) will take place on June 22. The virtual session will take place at 6 p.m. and registration is required in advance. In the session, MBTA staff will provide an in-depth presentation on the proposed network map and lead small group discussions. To register for the meeting, view project maps, and learn more about the network-wide proposals, visit their project page. The MBTA's public meetings will be held over Zoom, and recordings will be available for those who cannot attend. The MBTA's bus transformation project looks to achieve a better, faster, lower emissions service that is more aligned with where riders live, work, and travel. Public meetings and opportunities for feedback will take place throughout the summer. This press release was produced by the Town of Wakefield. The views expressed here are the author's own.
