New Edgerly Plaza Visioning Event

Join BTD staff on June 15 for a one-day "pop-up" activation of New Edgerly Road between Harry Ellis Dickson Park and the seating area in front of Whole Foods.

Last year, former Councilor Kenzie Bok’s office counted 51 vehicles and 413 people walking here in a 45-minute period. Despite having over four times as many pedestrians as vehicles, this space is primarily dedicated to cars. To meet this need, we plan to transform the space into a pedestrian-focused vibrant public plaza. On June 15th, during Fenway Porchfest, BTD staff will be present for a one-day activation of the potential future New Edgerly Plaza. Stop by, enjoy the space for people, and share your thoughts!
