Wu: Dot Ave.’s ‘Open Streets’ to help create ‘new connections’ after pandemic’s isolation

Dorchester Avenue will be on Saturday the location of the city’s third “Open Streets” day this year, with the weather forecasted to be 67 and sunny.

Stretching for 2.1 miles, between Freeport Street and Gallivan Boulevard, the avenue is closing to vehicles and opening up to people. The closure will span three MBTA stations, including Fields Corner, Shawmut and Ashmont. Bus routes will be temporarily altered.

Mayor Michelle Wu is hoping for a large turnout.
