Updated travel info for Saturday's meeting at BU

(cross-posted)

As most of you are aware, the public transit options for Saturday will be extremely limited. Jeannette​ called the MBTA yesterday to confirm: The green line is closed west of Kenmore Sq, so the public transportation options are the 57 bus (which goes along Comm Ave) and the 47 bus, which runs from Central Sq across the BU bridge. I am not hopeful that the situation will change, as Monday commuting is the priority for the MBTA. Please be sure to check http://www.mbta.com/winter/ for the most up-to-date information.


Parking is available in Agganis Arena, 925 Commonwealth Ave, entrance off of Buick Street.

We are supposed to get more snow, but we are planning on holding the meeting as scheduled. Any cancellations will be posted here, the Google mailing list, and the Facebook group.
