Dartmouth Street Safety and Mobility Improvements
We're creating a direct, legible bike connection between Copley Square and the Esplanade. We're also making quick-build safety improvements at the Dartmouth Street/Stuart Street intersection.
We're listening to your feedback and working on ways to improve safety and expand transportation options in the Back Bay! You told us in 2023 that you'd like to see:
- Safer intersections for people walking
- Better biking options
- Overall maintenance of our streets
- Managed curbside access and retention of parking
Our work on Dartmouth Street is based on these conversations with you and informed by citywide goals. Here's what we plan to do:
- Two-way bike lane on Dartmouth Street. This lane will run between Boylston Street and Back Street, creating a safe and convenient connection between Copley Square and the Esplanade. As part of this work, we will repave Dartmouth Street and rebuild curb ramps.
- Safer intersection at Dartmouth and Stuart. We'll use quick-build materials to make some of the crosswalks shorter. We will repave Stuart Street between Huntington Ave and Dartmouth Street and rebuild curb ramps in the project area.
