Bringing Back Boylston: A Vision and Action Plan for Route 9 East offers a comprehensive strategy to manage future growth and development along the Route 9 East corridor in Brookline, Massachusetts. This plan was developed by a team of graduate students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University in a practicum workshop
in MIT’s Department of Urban Studies and Planning. It is the product of several months of fieldwork, research, community outreach, and planning work.
The Town of Brookline’s Planning and Community Development Department commissioned this report in response to renewed development interest and activity on Route 9 East and in acknowledgment of a growing desire by community members to reimagine the street as a pedestrian-friendly commercial destination.
