The Massachusetts Department of Transportation
Invites you to a Public Information Meeting
for the Casey Overpass Project

Wednesday, April 6, 2011

6:30‐8:30 PM ‐ Public Information Meeting
Agassiz School Community Center
20 Child Street, Jamaica Plain, MA 02130

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) is initiating a study of alternatives to replace the existing Monsignor William J. Casey Overpass. The planning study phase will consist of an extensive public outreach process, and will be inclusive of at‐grade and structural solutions. The selected alternative will be advanced into design phase for construction within the schedule of the Patrick‐Murray Accelerated Bridge Program.

The purpose of this meeting is to present the study goals and outline the public participation process for the project. As part of the study, MassDOT has recently formed a Casey Overpass Working Advisory Group. Over the course of the next 6 months, the Working Advisory Group will study and evaluate safe, accessible, multi‐modal landscape, streetscape and transportation options that will lead to a project that can be completed by June 2016 under the Accelerated Bridge Program. Public Information Meetings will be held in sequence with Advisory Group meetings. Following the presentation, MassDOT staff will lead a discussion to gather public comments and answer questions.
If you have questions or would like more information about the project, please contact Paul King, MassDOT Project Manager, at 617‐973‐8137 or Paul.C.King@state.ma.us.
