Central Square culminates around the intersection of Bennington Street and Meridian Street in the Boston neighborhood of East Boston. The square’s intersecting streets also includes Border Street, Saratoga Street and Liverpool Street. It is a modified rotary where traffic is moving in both directions with one traffic light at the intersection of Meridian and Saratoga.
There is a shopping center adjacent to the square and, in the center of the freewheeling traffic that zips through the square, is a small park. Central Square is within 100 yards of the entrance to the Sumner Tunnel, which takes motorists to Downtown Boston.
Central Square is the site of the Italia Unita festival yearly event where the square is closed off, bands play and food carts serve their wares.[1]
