My husband John and I live on the west side of town, though also love to shop and dine at several East Arlington businesses.
But, the wide roadway is such a "pedestrian-hostile" contrast to our business district in the Heights, where Mass Ave is narrower and it's an easy, pleasant place for errands on-foot.
We, in fact, chose our Arlington neighborhood for its walkability.
So, I am very excited about the Mass Ave project, to make the sidewalks and street-crossings more pedestrian-friendly, the roadway safer for bicycles, and the sidewalks more inviting with space for outdoor dining.
