    Transit Driver Appreciation Day

    As we all know, the LMA is a bustling place with thousands of people coming to the area every day to work, study, or receive medical care – many of whom rely on transit to get where they need to go. This could not be possible without transit drivers, so on March 18th, members of the Longwood Collective community will be celebrating National Transit Driver Appreciation Day to recognize the hard work of transit drivers in Longwood.

    We encourage everyone to join us in celebration by taking a moment to thank the transit drivers in your life who work to keep the LMA moving.

    LONGWOOD WINTER STROLL RECAP

    On February 15th, the LMA was transformed into a winter wonderland, featuring unique ice sculptures, live carving demonstrations, and treats. Ice sculptures were on display at over 15 sites in the area and visitors were given the opportunity to stroll throughout the community while enjoying cookies, coffee, and hot chocolate.

    The first ever winter programming event put on by our Outside// team, the Longwood Winter Stroll was the first of what we hope will be more winter activations to come in future years. Thanks to the Winter Stroll co-sponsors who hosted ice sculptures outside their facilities, and to all participants who took time out of their day to view the sculptures.

    Learn more about the stroll here.
