Imagine: Fewer cars in Southie...how is this possible?

On September 27, please join us for a very special Planet Southie meeting focusing on alternative transportation issues and solutions, including safety and access. Clarification: this is not an effort to ban cars. The goal is to increase safe reliable transportation options. Also, many of the people involved in this effort are South Boston natives; others are newcomers. All are welcome.

Join your neighbors and elected officials to discuss improving bus, walking and biking options for our neighborhood. This will include discussion of access for disabled persons.

With development booming, now is the time to come together and plan!

Thursday, September 27 from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm at the Distillery Building, 516 E 2nd St. Meeting will be in the main Distillery office, which is handicap accessible (across the parking lot from our regular meeting room).
