Everywhere Arlington Livable Streets

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!
