Chelsea Sector 4 Walk Audit

On May 31, 2017, WalkBoston conducted a walk assessment in the Sector 4 area of downtown Chelsea, with support from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health’s Mass in Motion program. Chelsea is undergoing a wave of urban revitalization, yet long-standing community concerns about crime and public safety persist, and many poorly designed intersections create dangerous conditions for people walking, biking, taking transit, and driving. The goals of the walk assessment were to examine these issues related to public and traffic safety and to recommend improvements to the local built environment that create safer walking conditions for everyone. Participants included staff from WalkBoston and The Neighborhood Developers, Chelsea Police officers, and members of the Sector 4 Community Action Team and the Youth Opportunity Task Force.
