Sidewalk repairs on Boylston Street (Arlington St. to Mass Ave., both sides) will take place this week as follows:

Starting Monday, August 3 and projected to end Friday, August 7 (weather permitting) work will start on the odd side of the street from Hereford St. heading towards Arlington St. Once the work is complete on the odd side, we will start on the even side starting at Arlington St. and heading back toward Hereford St.  Work will only be performed on one side of the street at a time, and will be done in the quickest manner possible so as not to inconvenience businesses and neighbors.

The PWD will for the most part be able to allow a minimum of 3 feet pedestrian access during the work. There may be locations that the sidewalk access will be closed, in which case “Sidewalk Closed” signage will be placed at the nearest crosswalks on either side of the construction.

The engineer representing the City is Brian Van Bus Kirk (1-781-589-1925). The contractor performing the work is Cicconi and Sons.

The PWD anticipates that the work will run smoothly and after the construction takes place you will be happy with the results.

Any questions or concerns?  Please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Mark Cardarelli
