Jersey Barriers To Be Installed For Additional Sidewalk Space In Lexington Center

Press release from the Town of Lexington:

August 5, 2020

During the week of August 10, the Department of Public Works will be installing temporary jersey barriers to block-off parking spaces on sections of Massachusetts Avenue and Waltham Street in Lexington Center. The work is part of the Shared Streets and Spaces Program to provide additional space for social distancing on sidewalks.

The installation is expected to be completed in one day.

The righthand turn lane in front of Rancatore's on Massachusetts Avenue will be closed while these temporary jersey barriers are in place.

Where to Park

Additional parking is available in the Town-owned Lots off of Edison Way, Depot Square, and Waltham Street.

Shared Streets Program

The jersey barriers will safely allow additional space for pedestrians and help avoid crowded sidewalks. The additional space also provides opportunities for restaurants and other businesses to expand their operations on the sidewalk.

The installation of these barriers is made possible through a grant secured by our Economic Development Office from the Mass. Department of Transportation's Shared Streets and Spaces Program.
