September 5, 2025 Traffic Advisory
Boston will enforce parking restrictions and street closures for several events from July to September 2025, impacting local traffic and parking availability. The Open Newbury Street Series will transform Newbury Street into a pedestrian-only area every Sunday from July 13 to September 21, excluding August 31. This initiative allows pedestrians to enjoy the full width of the street while maintaining access on adjacent streets. Additionally, the Hare Krishna Procession on September 13 will start at 11 a. m.
, requiring temporary parking restrictions on Cambria Street for setup. The city encourages attendees to use alternative transportation methods, such as walking, biking, or public transit, with the MBTA advising round-trip tickets for efficiency. Event organizers emphasize the importance of not dispersing through the Boston Public Garden after the procession. Parking restrictions will be clearly posted on affected streets to ensure public safety during these events. These initiatives reflect Boston's commitment to enhancing community interaction and promoting sustainable transportation options.
