The city is considering big changes for Blue Hill Ave. Here’s what to know.

The city is eyeing an overhaul for Blue Hill Avenue, and officials want public input.Transportation, public space, and safety are the areas officials are taking into consideration as part of the planning process.“Blue Hill Avenue is a vital piece of many of the City’s puzzles,” the website devoted to the project says. “This avenue houses community organizations of education, worship, and recreation. It is a commercial corridor home to many proud, minority-owned businesses.”From where it intersects with Dudley and Magazine streets, Blue Hill Avenue runs near Dudley Square and down along Franklin Park and through Mattapan.“The corridor provides access to and from the City’s major employment centers for Roxbury, Dorchester, and Mattapan residents,” the city said. “It also supports the highest bus ridership in the entire MBTA system.”The city has set up a survey for residents to fill out about the roadway.

Blue Hill Avenue was discussed as part of Go Boston 2030, which identifies various transportation projects “in an effort to provide safe, reliable and equitable streets throughout the City,” according to an email from Tracey Ganiatsos, a spokeswoman for the city’s transportation department.

“Blue Hill Avenue was recognized by the community during the community process as an important and iconic boulevard that links Mattapan, Roxbury and Dorchester to Dudley Square and points north, and houses recreation, neighborhood businesses and houses of worship,” she said. “In addition, the area is underserved with regard to transportation, falling between the orange and red lines, and providing few options for people to access jobs, hospitals, schools and businesses.”

The entire stretch of roadway, from Mattapan Square to Grove Hall, will be included, according to Ganiatsos.

In terms of transportation, officials are looking at multiple methods, including drivers, bicyclists, and bus riders, and not just the quality of the roadway itself, but traffic levels as well as if the bus stops are clean.

For public space, the city is seeking input on the public areas along the road, like parks and playgrounds or sidewalks, and suggestions for future work.

The city also wants to consider the safety of those who use the roadway via different types of transportation.

The city has $300,000 to improve the road, Ganiatsos said; an additional $500,000 will be used for a Mattapan Square redesign.

This fall, officials plan to hold public meetings about potential work, and, in the spring, they intend to partner with the community on a new design, according to a project timeline. The city is also hiring three planners — one each for corridor transportation, community engagement, and active transportation/vision zero — to help with the process.

City Councilor Andrea Campbell, who represents part of the area Blue Hill Avenue runs through, stressed the importance of the project during an interview with CommonWealth Magazine back in June.

“More and more people are paying attention to transit and transportation because they need to get to their jobs, or they need to get their kid to school, or they need to get someplace for a recreational purpose and they don’t want to be on a bus for an hour or two,” she said at the time. “If we want them to connect to these opportunities, we have to have a really thorough and thoughtful conversation about Blue Hill Avenue – dedicated bus lanes, rapid transit, everything needs to be on the table.”

Jim Aloisi, a member of TransitMatters, was also in on the interview with Campbell. Alosi worked on bus transit plans for Blue Hill Avenue back in 2009 under former Gov. Deval Patrick, but they were shelved, according to the magazine.

“If we can unlock Blue Hill Avenue, it’s a master class in figuring out how to bring transit and social equity to a broad spectrum of people,” he told the magazine.
