VIDEO: Residents Voice Opinions on Mass. Ave. Corridor Project

The main sticking point at Tuesday's hearing was the number of travel lanes.

The Mass. Ave. Corridor Project once again took center stage Tuesday night, as hundreds of residents packed an at times raucous Town Hall Auditorium to voice their support or opposition for the project’s current design.

The current design proposes three lanes, two eastbound lanes toward Cambridge and one westbound lane toward Arlington Center, from Pond Lane to the Cambridge city line. Supporters, many of whom were East Arlington parents of young children, said they’re OK moving …
