The Community Approved Option
The Rutherford Avenue/Sullivan Square Reconstruction Project will...

• Provide bicycle connections
• Increase on-street parking
• Protect Main Street from cut-through traffic
Welcome to the Surface Option Supporters (SOS) website. We are a group of concerned Boston area residents, community groups, business owners and others who are invested in a project to redesign Rutherford Avenue and Sullivan Square.

After 8 detailed meetings and traffic study presentations, the community agreed upon the Surface Option which eliminates the unnecessary underpasses. Although the project was approved by the community, it is now in jeopardy.

Please take some time to look around this website to learn more about the project and to get involved.

Thank you.
