Newton is embarking on the Washington Street Pilot — a project to redesign Washington Street from Chestnut Street in West Newton to Lowell Avenue in Newtonville to create a safer, more welcoming corridor for residents, commuters, students, customers, and everyone who uses this street. As an early part of this project, the City invites public input via two surveys, which open until June 12:
- Resident survey for all who travel, visit, or work in the project area
- Business survey for business owners and managers in the project area
So far, the City has compiled Existing Conditions data on numbers of people driving, walking, and biking along Washington Street. After the surveys, conceptual designs are planned by the fall. For more information, please email WashingtonStreet@NewtonMA.gov.
