Here’s how the Boston Women’s March for America will impact traffic, parking
The city is asking those attending the march to take public transportation.
The Boston Women’s March for America is expected to draw thousands of participants to Boston Common on Saturday, and, as a result, the city has issued a traffic advisory for the area.
While the march itself begins at 12:30 p.m., the event will get underway at 11 a.m. with speakers on the Common. The city said streets along the route will likely be impassable from noon to 2 p.m., and there may be traffic restrictions on Charles Street, between Boylston and Beacon streets, before then.
Here’s the route for the march, via the city:
- exit the Boston Common at the intersection of Beacon Street and Charles Street
- turn left on Beacon Street
- turn left on Arlington Street
- turn right on Commonwealth Avenue outbound
- turn left on Clarendon Street
- turn left on Commonwealth Avenue inbound
- turn right on Arlington Street
- turn left on Boylston Street, and
- re-enter the Boston Common at the intersection of Boylston and Charles Streets
The city encouraged those attending the march to take the MBTA, and march organizers also posted transportation advice on their website.
The MBTA said subway service will be more frequent Saturday, commuter rail trains will have additional cars, and more staff will be on hand at certain stations. The MBTA also noted that service will be suspended on the Blue Line between Bowdoin and State Street stations.
The city listed the following temporary parking restrictions in the advisory:
- Charles Street, both sides, from Boylston Street to Beacon Street
- Beacon Street, both sides, from Park Street to Arlington Street
- Arlington Street, both sides, from Beacon Street to Boylston Street
- Commonwealth Avenue, both sides, from Arlington Street to Clarendon Street
- Boylston Street, both sides, from Arlington Street to Tremont Street
