Crossing Plan Proposed for Sheldon Street Near Belt Line
The board of works will install a crossing over the Belt tracks at Sheldon street to enable children north of the Belt to reach Washington street school safely. A below-track cut is impractical, so planks will bridge the rails and a path opened via adjacent private property. A subway under the Big Four at Valley Drive is also likely, requiring Mass Ave to be lowered and tracks raised. currently nine blocks lack a crossing between Rural Street and Hillside Avenue.
