NAHANT – The Town of Nahant encourages residents to participate in a public meeting to discuss the planned Lynnway Multimodal Corridor Project run by the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority.
The meeting will be held on Wednesday, Sept.10, from 6-8 p.m. at Nahant Town Hall. MBTA officials will be on hand to provide detailed information about the project, and address any questions or concerns Nahant residents may have.
The MBTA is partnering with the City of Lynn, the state Department of Conservation and Recreation, and the state Department of Transportation (MassDOT), as part of the project.
The current Lynnway is a six- or seven-lane thoroughfare and primarily a motor-vehicle route, creating challenges for pedestrians, cyclists, and bus riders. The goal is to create a multimodal corridor that supports the long-term vision of a safer, more accessible city.
The MBTA received a $20 million federal grant for the project in 2022.
All work will be done in Lynn. However, the MBTA requested to hold a public meeting in Nahant as the Lynnway is the sole access to and from town at Nahant Beach Boulevard.
The public is welcome to attend. Nahant Town Hall is ADA-accessible. The meeting will be broadcast live on local access, both on Verizon Channel 45 and Comcast Channel 8.
