The Boston Cyclists Union is throwing a party to heal divisions within the community in the debate of the Casey Overpass. Here's a description of the party from the cycling group's Facebook page:
"Secretary of Transportation Richard Davey has announced the state's decision to take down the Casey Overpass, and replace it with a 6-lane arterial roadway with traffic flow similar to Melnea Cass Boulevard, and a park the size of Copley Square Plaza!
We invite you to turn the page with us toward a new future for Forest Hills that will help small businesses, make a more inviting area for walkers and bicyclists, and reconnect this gap in the Emerald Necklace. This is a great opportunity also for people on both sides of the debate we all just came through to shake hands and strategize about how we can make this a project all of us will be proud of for the decades to come.
Free appetizers will be available, and drinks are pretty darn affordable at the Fireside! Please join us and support this Forest Hills business!"
