Message from the Brookline Police Department - Marathon Monday:
Monday April 18th will be the Running of the Boston Marathon. This event will bring over 30,000 runners through our Town and thousands of spectators to the Beacon Street Course. Beacon street will be closed from approximately 8:30 AM until 7:00PM. There will be 3 pedestrian crossing areas. Beacon at Tappan, Beacon at Webster, Beacon at Hawes. These areas will be staffed by race officials, and they will determine when it is safe to allow pedestrian traffic across. We ask that you plan ahead AS CROSSING WILL BE UNAVAILABLE between 11:45 AM and 4:00PM due to the volume of runners. All spectators are asked to leave large items at home, and to report anything they determine to be suspicious. Propane cooking equipment is not allowed. If YOU See Something Say Something call 911 or 617-730-2222. Help us make this a safe, enjoyable family friendly event
