Town Meeting will consider its annual Capitol Budget this week. We are hoping to learn more about two street-safety planning projects in the budget, at Park Ave, and at Broadway. These street safety projects are really important and highly needed. Both Park Ave and Broadway have high volumes of traffic, often far above the speed limit and far faster than is safe.  This creates hazardous conditions for those of us who live in the neighborhoods: crosswalks are missing, or have blocked sight lines, and we never know if drivers will stop for us or not.  People who want to ride bikes, particularly with their kids, don't have a safe place and there aren't good alternate routes.  Collisions causing serious injuries have already happened on Park Ave and we are worried that it's only a matter of time before this happens on Broadway as well.  The need for these planning efforts is clear, but only the first step.

Spring is here, despite this weekend’s chilly weather! We have a number of updates to share with the EALS community.   Over 100 people attended the Park Ave improvement project on Mar. 31st. An overview of the project was presented, along with design options. See the presentation and share your thoughts in the online survey (open until Apr. 18th).  Want to ride your bike, but need to carry a lot of stuff? Arlington now has a cargo bike share program, operated by CargoB . This is a great option to combine errands, kid trips and more with biking and I am looking forward to trying it out. 

Hi everyone! A quick reminder about the Park Ave Safety Improvements presentation this Monday 3/31 at 6:30 PM at Town Hall. This is an important opportunity to: ✅ Review proposed design ideas for three key Park Ave intersections (Oakland, Appleton, and Wollaston/Paul Revere) ✅ Understand the goals and rationale behind the plans ✅ Share your feedback while the designs are still under review Community input is critical in shaping these improvements, so if you live in the area, use Park Ave frequently, or want safer options to get around town, we encourage you to attend and make your voice heard! If you have a neighborhood email list, please consider sharing this reminder with your neighbors. The more perspectives we have, the better the outcome for everyone. Hope to see you there! Best, Everywhere Arlington Liveable Streets
