The Draft Corridor Plan can be downloaded here: Fairmount Corridor Plan. The formal comment period for this document is open until May 30, 2014. Comments can be submitted by email to Jeremy Rosenberger, BRA Senior Planner.

The Fairmount Corridor Planning Open Houses are part of the ongoing Fairmount Indigo Planning Initiative, which is one of the largest planning efforts ever undertaken in Boston. The two year BRA-led initiative began in 2012 seeking to develop short and long term strategies for improving capital investment, housing and job access along the 9.2 mile Fairmount Indigo commuter rail line, which links South Station to Readville, crossing through Roxbury, Dorchester, Mattapan, and Hyde Park.

Questions about the initiative can be directed to Jeremy Rosenberger, BRA Senior Planner.
