Dear MBTA Riders and Interested Parties,

The MBTA is hosting follow-up meetings on Bus Route 77 as part of the Key Bus Route Improvement Program. Based on community feedback, preliminary recommendations have been refined to the following types of improvements: bus stop consolidation, new bus shelters, benches and trash receptacles. Bus stop consolidation will result in changes to the location of some bus stops. Bus stops may be relocated and/or eliminated. Passengers on non-Key Bus Routes will benefit from improvements, and be affected by changes made, at Key Bus Route stops. Bus Route 77 operates between Arlington Heights and Harvard Square via Arlington Center, Porter Square and Massachusetts Avenue. This route also provides service to important destinations such as Harvard University, Capitol Theatre and Arlington High School. This route provides connections to the Red Line as well as many bus routes including Key Bus Routes 1, 66, 71 and 73 and the following local routes – 62, 67, 68, 69, 72, 74, 75, 76, 78, 79, 80, 83, 86, 87, 96 and 350.

The following meetings will discuss potential improvements to Bus Route 77:

Tuesday, September 27, 2011 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM Arlington Town Hall Auditorium 730 Massachusetts Avenue, Arlington
