Allston-Brighton Community Plan | Cleveland Circle Intersection Redesign Public Meeting

Boston Planning Department · Monday, June 22, 2026, 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

Please join staff of the Planning Department for a virtual meeting on the redesign of Cleveland Circle, as part of the Allston Brighton Community Plan. Staff will present a potential concept for the redesign that seeks to prioritize pedestrian safety. Our goal is to collect feedback on this concept to help guide ongoing coordination with the MBTA at Cleveland Circle and the adjacent Reservoir Yard. This will be coordinated with future maintenance and the removal of outdated tracks through the intersection, as well as reconstruction and beautification of the intersection and roadway itself.

The proposed concept will be incorporated into the Allston-Brighton Community Plan (ABCP). This meeting is being held prior to the ABCP Draft release to support timely and ongoing engagement with the MBTA. The focus of this conversation is on the longer-term vision for Cleveland Circle, rather than the current C Branch Accessibility Improvements Project, or the ongoing and much-needed patching work.

Please stay tuned for more information about the Draft Allston-Brighton Community Plan and Zoning release in the coming months!
