The MBTA will host a public meeting at Cristo Rey Boston High School in Savin Hill at 6 p.m. on Thursday of this week (Jan. 25) to discuss its plans for Red Line track improvements aimed at eliminating so-called “slow zones.”

“At the open house meeting, a diverse group of attendees will be present, including key representatives and stakeholders from the [Track Improvement] program itself, MBTA leadership, and engagement staff,” said Lisa Battiston, a T spokesperson.

“We have also extended this invitation to community leaders, local officials, and subject matter experts directly involved in the decision-making process.”

The meeting is one in a series the MBTA has planned ahead of track work that is expected to begin soon along the Red Line. Sixteen percent of subway track is currently under some sort of speed restriction as of Tuesday, much of it on the Red Line. A two week shutdown along the Dorchester leg last October was successful in lifting some of the slow zones on that section of the right-of-way.
