Public Meeting on The Chandler Street Redesign Project on Thursday, November 16th

Join the City of Worcester and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) for a workshop-style Public Meeting on the redesign of Chandler Street between Main Street and Park Avenue.
6:30-8 P.M. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16th
Worcester Common Ground, King Community Center, 126 Chandler Street, Worcester
This section of Chandler Street sees a combination of high speeds mixed with congested intersections, frequent vehicle crashes, and a lack of modern accommodations for those walking, biking, micromobility, or using transit.
Please join to ask questions, share your concerns, and provide feedback on proposed designs.
