The Mount Auburn Street Complete Streets Project Team is pleased to announce that the final roadway design plans have been submitted to MassDOT. These designs include construction-related details such as traffic signal layouts, utility upgrades/modifications, and site grading to ensure the roadway and sidewalk improvements match existing conditions at the limits of work. The project remains on schedule to go out to bid later this year, allowing construction to begin in early 2024. The project team continues to coordinate with MassDOT on the project schedule for the next steps.

Watertown Department of Public Works invites you to attend an interactive Open House on the final design for Mount Auburn Street. Stop by any time between 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM to review the final roadway design plans for the corridor and discuss your questions with members of the team and City staff. You can also share your input on the landscaping and streetscape concepts for the placemaking areas throughout the corridor. The project team will share examples of proposed site amenities, such as benches and bicycle parking, as well as plantings to be installed.
We will post recorded presentations outlining the final roadway design and the landscaping concepts, as well as updated plans, on this website in advance of the Open House. These can be viewed at home and will also be on display during the Open House. They will be announced with a separate email in the coming weeks. Sign up here if you are not already subscribed.
