New Bedford Walk Assesment

The City of New Bedford is one of twelve communities participating in the Massachusetts’ Department of Transportation’s Highway Safety Improvement Program. After evaluating clusters in the City’s crash data, the City identified high-priority intersections that are particularly dangerous for pedestrians. Four such intersections were included in the assessment area. In order to help scope out potential remedies to make these intersections safer, WalkBoston conducted a walk assessment in a portion of New Bedford’s central commercial district on October 29, 2014. The walk assessment was conducted from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm, and was followed by a discussion and debrief with the walk audit participants.
