BHS Prepares for Reopening of Medical Arts Complex Entry, Parking Area

Print Story | Email Story
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — As the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (DOT)'s North Street rotary construction project nears completion, Berkshire Health Systems has announced the timeline for its own campus improvement project that will expand parking and access for its Medical Arts Complex (MAC) adjacent to Berkshire Medical Center. 
 
The MAC parking area, which has been expanded and repaved, will reopen to patient traffic on Monday, Sept. 8, 2025. There will be dozens more spaces than in the previous lot, and the spaces will be wider to better accommodate the size of current vehicles. Additionally, the second-floor entrance to the MAC building, located next to the parking lot, will reopen on Sept. 8. The MAC lot will be accessible from Charles Street for both entry and egress.
 
Following the opening of the North Street rotary later this fall, BHS will open a new exit that leads from the MAC to the rotary. The main driveway of Berkshire Medical Center, which has been closed throughout much of the rotary project, will reopen when the project has been completed, estimated in late September.
 
BHS recommends that patients and visitors refer to the updated map for full details of traffic patterns and parking information, available at: https://www.berkshirehealthsystems.org/bhs-campus-maps/

Third No Kings Rally Adds War in Iran to List of Grievances

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff

 

State Sen. Paul Mark was at four rallies on Saturday. He and state Rep. Tricia Farley-Bouvier, both seen here in Pittsfield, said what they heard today will inspire them on Beacon Hill. . 
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Even the frigid wind couldn't silence the voices of thousands of protestors across the county.  
 
In Pittsfield, more than 1,000 people were at the Common, wearing custom T-shirts, and costumes ranging from the Statue of Liberty to inflatable animals, or just holding signs condemning the President Donald Trump and his administration. 
 
This third "No Kings" rally, following on the protests last June and October, saw hundreds of thousands of Americans and others across the world take to the streets and the parks to oppose a growing list of actions made by the administration. 
 
This time, signs protesting the war against Iran joined others focusing on constitutional rights like voting and free speech, democracy, and protecting marginalized groups.
 
Activists, musicians, and some public officials attended the protest, including state Sen. Paul Mark and state Rep. Tricia Farley-Bouvier in Pittsfield; state Rep. John Barrett III was in North Adams. None of the legislators spoke at the rallies. 
 
Farley-Bouvier said the people of Pittsfield were at the rally in resistance and joy — standing up together to say, "enough is enough."
 
Some days the role of a state representative is hard and days like this inspire and rejuvenate the drive to go back out there and fight another day, she said.
