Melnea Cass Boulevard is a street in Boston, Massachusetts, running perpendicular to the line between Dudley Square in Roxbury and the South End. It is named after local community and civil rights activist Melnea Cass. The road's right-of-way was originally planned to be part of Interstate 695, until its cancellation.[1] There is also an MBTA Silver Line station named Melnea Cass Boulevard on this street.
The boulevard's eastern terminus is at the Mass Ave Connector, intersects with the various major thoroughfares of Roxbury, and a few minor streets and ways, finally ending at the western terminus at Columbus Avenue behind Ruggles station and Northeastern University. Melnea Cass Boulevard is primarily four lanes wide, with some exceptions for turning lanes at major cross streets. Due to the history of Melnea Cass Boulevard being a planned right of way for the rejected Inner Belt,[1] it is generally devoid of structures and buildings, except city-owned properties built in formerly unused lots. The majority of adjacent buildings are at the corners of the major cross streets.
