We’re rolling out a “Thank You” effort, and want you to take part!
- Contact your local elected officials & public works/planning staff. Let them know you like the creative use of public space shown possible through the MassDOT “Shared Streets & Spaces” and “Shared Winter Streets & Places” programs (that you’ll hear more about during the event), and that you want to see more! You can see a full list of projects funded on this page, along with project descriptions.
- Copy us on your message: comments@walkboston.org
- Not sure what to say? You can keep it simple:
Thank you, _____, for [insert the part of the project description in your city/town that you like].
I really like these programs and want to see continued creative use of street space and a focus on walking safety with MassDOT funding support.
Thanks, Your name & address
