Construction Pausing on South Station Air Rights Project due to Coronavirus
On March 16, Boston Mayor Martin Walsh ordered construction projects in the City to be shut down for at least the next two weeks in response to the coronavirus outbreak. The South Station Air Rights project team will take every measure necessary as designated by the Mayor and Governor. This is a time when many individuals and businesses must make sacrifices for the safety of our community, and we will do our part. We will continue to provide updates on the project and announce when construction resumes.
Bike Facility Closing on Friday, March 27
In anticipation of construction resuming, the MBTA Pedal and Park facility located on Atlantic Avenue will be closing at noon on Friday, March 27, 2020. New bicycle racks are currently available near the existing Blue Bikes facility, along the east side of Atlantic Avenue, adjacent to South Station. In the spring, a new Pedal and Park facility will be open in a nearby location. A notice will be sent once that facility is open.
Once construction is complete, the new bike storage facility will be located in the expanded South Station Transportation Center, accessible from the Atlantic Avenue sidewalk just south of the entrance to the train station.
All bicycles in the existing Pedal and Park facility on Atlantic Avenue must be removed by noon on Friday, March 27. If a bike is removed, the owner would need to contact the Transit Police at 617-222-1212. Owners will have 30 days to retrieve their bikes.
