From the Town
The Town of Arlington’s web page for the Mass. Ave. Project usually has the latest drawings and plans for this evolving project.

The Town also has an archive of previous versions of the plan and other materials that provide some more information and document how the plan has evolved, including this concise history.

For more background, the Town’s Transportation Advisory Committee has the 2002 Mass. Ave. Corridor Study on this web page (but you have to scroll down to find it). The meeting handouts describe some of the options for improving traffic flow and pedestrian safety, such as dedicated turning lanes and curb extensions.

Finally, the Town also lists all the members of the Mass. Ave. Review Committee.

Community Groups
The East Arlington Livable Streets Coalition is involved in several projects including the Mass. Ave. redesign. (And, they are on Facebook.) Disclosure: I have become a member of this group. (But, any opinions on this blog are my own.)

The East Arlington Concerned Citizens Committee, which formed to oppose the redesign generally, has persuaded the Arlington Advocate to host its position paper online. (The Advocate has also published my gentle criticism of this paper’s ideas.) And in March of 2011 this group published its first web page.

Walking in Arlington sponsors the Safe Routes to School program and historic walks, and promotes walking generally.
