Lincoln Street Green Strip

The Lincoln Street Green Strip sits between Cambridge St. and Lincoln St., acting as a gateway between the Lower Allston business district and the residential streets along Franklin, Mansfield, and Royal Streets. It's located next to a stop on the MBTA’s #66 bus.

There will be a ribbon-cutting to celebrate Lincoln Street Green Strip in late Spring 2009.

The Allston Brighton CDC partnered with community members, the City of Boston’s Department of Neighborhood Development, the New England Foundation for the Arts (NEFA), and the National Parks Service to transform this neglected site into a beautiful and inspiring public space. The artist group Legge Lewis Legge, who were were selected by a panel of community members and partner organizations, created the coreten steel ornaments and parterres that now create rune-like designs on the site.

This was a competitive, national selection process that was funded in part by Art & Community Landscapes a partnership of the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Parks Service and the New England Foundation for the Arts with additional support from Anonymous.
