The purpose of this project is to improve pedestrian and bicyclist safety in the vicinity of the Mary C. Burke School in Chelsea through the replacement/upgrade of an existing signal at Stockton Street and Eastern Avenue, realignment of Stockton Street to be perpendicular to Eastern Avenue, removal of the Toomey Square roadway, elimination of left turns out of Louis Street, construction of a shared-use path for pedestrians and bicyclists along the west side of Eastern Avenue, the installation of a crosswalk with an RRFB across Eastern Avenue immediately north of Hooper Street, the realignment of Spencer Avenue to be perpendicular to Eastern Avenue at its northern intersection, and the reconfiguration of parking to be back-in angle along the east side of Spencer Avenue in lieu of the existing parking field. The Project limits along Eastern Avenue extend from the southerly end of the northbound left-turn lane to Stockton Street in the south to the Cabot Street/Carroll Street intersection in the north. The project extends along Stockton Street to the west to include its intersection with Spencer Avenue.
