Hill School Recommendations – Revere

Hill School Recommendations – Revere

By |

WalkBoston has reviewed the proposed recommendations for the new Hill School.  In our review, we found that with the developer’s best efforts to keep traffic moving, drivers are given too many choices. These choices will create longer wait times during drop off and dismissal, as well as create confusion.  Our concerns and our recommendations below will create a safer walking environment for all pedestrians in the school area, as well as create an efficient drop off and pick up policy.

The Community Safe Routes to School (CSRTS) Program was a WalkBoston initiative jointly funded by the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Foundation, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT)and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH). The purpose of the CSRTS program was to study how best to apply the Safe Routes to School concept to promote changes in the travel patterns of school children by working both inside the schools and with a broad set of community partners. The four communities who participated in the program were Brockton, Newton, Stoneham and Watertown.
