Two-day Detour in Cambridgeport to affect three EZRide Stops

Please distribute to affected Commuters Two-day Detour in Cambridgeport to affect three EZRide Stops Wed., May 12 and Thurs., May 13, 2010

On Wednesday and Thursday, May 12 and 13, 2010, the City of Cambridge Department of Public Works will close Brookline Street for two days to perform milling work on Brookline Street, in advance of full paving. This will result in street closures and other disruptions that will require EZRide Shuttle to detour away from Brookline Street on Wednesday and Thursday. EZRide will detour by turning left onto Erie Street from Sidney Street instead of its typical right turn. The buses will return to regular route at the Landsdowne Street stops via Erie, Albany, and Pacific, Sidney and Pilgrim Streets. This is the same detour used during earlier road closures. EZRide stops at Fort Washington (Erie at Sidney Streets), Cambridgeport (Brookline at Erie Streets), and Pacific Street (at Landsdowne Street) will be affected as follows: Fort Washington: Stop moves across Sidney Street to the opposite side of the intersection.. The stop will be on Erie Street, outside of 200 Sidney Street. Cambridgeport: There will be NO SERVICE at this stop during the detour. Customers at this stop should walk to the Fort Washington temporary stop at Sidney and Erie Streets (in front of 200 Sidney Street) for all service. Pacific Street (MIT's Sidney Pacific Dorm): Outbound stop remains in place, and all inbound service will board at the Outbound stop as well. Please be advised that an additional extended closure is tentatively scheduled for May 20-28, 2010. These stop changes are TEMPORARY. We appreciate your understanding and patience during this detour.
