Summer Street links the newly developing South Boston Waterfront with downtown. In one short mile, this broad promenade’s widened and enlivened sidewalks connect visitors to both Boston Common and the Rose Kennedy Greenway while also connecting Downtown Crossing shoppers to the financial district and South Station and historic Boston to the emerging Fort Point Channel District neighborhood and the BCEC.

Shady tree-lined sidewalks, delightful stopping points, good signage, cheerful lighting and up-to-date information about nearby destinations will invite residents, visitors and shoppers to explore and enjoy this Crossroads connection.
