Boylston Street

Boylston Street

Boylston Street is the name of a major east-west thoroughfare in the city of Boston, Massachusetts and its western suburbs. It begins at its eastern end in central Boston as the continuation of Essex Street at the intersection of Washington, and forms the southern boundary of Boston Common, and, past Charles Street, the southern limit of the Boston Public Garden as well. West of Arlington Street it becomes a major commercial artery in the city's Back Bay neighborhood, and forms the northern boundary of busy Copley Square. The street then forms the northern boundary of the Back Bay Fens, the direction of traffic switching from west-east to east-west. It then runs through the Fenway neighborhood through a swath of parking lots and other underutilized space, before ending at the intersection of Brookline Avenue and Park Drive.
