Hanover and Salem Streets, two principal streets of the North End, become even stronger links as Crossroads stretches across the Greenway between Government Center and the waterfront. Crossroads wayfinding and traffic improvements make it easier to access North End shops and restaurants, while drawing closer the Greenway parks and downtown.

Hanover Street draws people from the “front porch” of the Greenway’s North End Park to a newly activated and landscaped City Hall Plaza, where it continues as a major civic gathering place and pleasant walk to a new Government Center MBTA station.
