Transportation: Issues & Projects
Major automobile and railroad routes criss-cross Rosemont. In the next decade, this transportation infrastructure will be upgraded to handle the increased north-south traffic. Four projects are underway in the Russell Road and Commonwealth Avenue transportation corridor.
Changes to Rosemont’s intersections and railroad bridges present an opportunity to improve traffic flow and pedestrian safety. We are working to keep you informed about these projects and how you can voice your concerns.
