Commuter Rail Project
Tune in for the podcast version of FYI Salem! Salem Mayor Kim Driscoll interviews city officials, community leaders, notable residents, and more, and provides a brief update on the latest news and information from the City of Salem, from inside City Hall and across the community. On the latest episode, Mayor Driscoll talks with Jessica Casey, Deputy Chief Operating Officer for Service Planning for the MBTA, and Matt Smith, Salem's Director of Traffic and Parking. They discuss the upcoming commuter rail project, which will result in train service being shut down from July 8 through September 30 on weekends and north of Salem 7 days a week from July 17 through August 13, and how Salem is preparing to manage the temporary changes in commuter traffic as a result.
