Traffic Advisory for July 25, 2025

Boston will enforce parking restrictions and street closures for several summer events, beginning with the Open Newbury Street Series on July 13, 2025. This series will convert Newbury Street into a pedestrian-only area every Sunday until September 21, 2025, except for August 31. Attendees are encouraged to walk, bike, or utilize public transit, with specific parking restrictions in place on surrounding streets to facilitate this. The Run to Home Base on July 26, 2025, is another significant event, expected to attract over 10,000 participants and necessitating temporary parking limitations. The MBTA recommends purchasing round-trip tickets to expedite return journeys.

The city aims to promote public safety and enhance community engagement through these initiatives. With the Open Newbury Street Series, local businesses anticipate increased foot traffic, benefiting from the pedestrian-friendly environment. These events reflect Boston's commitment to sustainable transportation and urban livability.
