STATA CENTER
Heavy truck traffic may cause traffic problems on Vassar Street between Main Street and Massachusetts Avenue. Pedestrian access along Buildings 25 and 36 is closed off; pedestrians should enter Building 34 from Vassar Street to access the main campus. Completion: Fall 2003.
SEWER DRAINS
The City of Cambridge is putting in new sewer drain pipes along Memorial Drive and Massachusetts Avenue, creating noise and pedestrian and traffic problems on Memorial Drive at the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue near Building 1, as well as on Massachusetts Avenue between Albany and Vassar streets. Construction will move in the direction of Central Sq. down Massachusetts Avenue to Main Street. Completion: Spring 2001.
MEDIA LAB EXPANSION
Media Lab utility relocation work is scheduled to start the week of September 4 on Ames and Amherst streets. This will affect traffic, parking and pedestrians on both those streets and will create noise and dust for people living in Senior House and East Campus. The work is part of the Media Lab expansion. Completion: December 2001.
UTILITIES WORK
Utilities work in the railroad right-of-way next to the Albany Street Garage and also near Massachusetts Avenue will disrupt pedestrian traffic until late fall. This work will then move along the railroad right-of-way on both sides of Massachusetts Avenue to provide utility lines for the new buildings being constructed on campus.
