What's Happening On A Street?

updated 7/22/21: No parking on A Street from Wormwood to Necco is extended to August 18th.

Vicinity Energy is now executing a plan to bring steam down A Street. 

Steam you say, isn’t that so “old school”? Vicinity has been delivering steam to Boston and Cambridge businesses for over 90 years. 

They are expanding their footprint into our neighborhood and are connecting businesses along A Street to the existing steam pipe on West Second Street. Plans currently are to run steam from the West Second Street pipe to Necco Street in conjunction with 15 Necco Life Sciences building.

The project will run in phases with step one, test pits, being dug over the next week. Don't forget the parking restrictions on A Street from Wormwood to Necco every Monday through Friday from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm until July 21, 2021. The project will eventually progress into full excavation along one lane of A Street. Construction will complete in the summer of 2022. 

Police will manage vehicular traffic as needed, appropriate sidewalk detours will be in place and parking restrictions will be posted. If you have any questions on the A Street Steam project, call Vicinity Energy's 24 hour service line at 617-482-8232.
