We plan to resurface the roadway and reconstruct curb ramps to bring Beacon Street to a state of good repair. Along with this work, we aim to update the street design to improve safety and comfort for all travelers on Beacon Street. Our goals are to deliver the following investments:
- Pedestrian safety: Create safer pedestrian crossings that connect people to major park amenities, sports complexes, and college buildings by reducing the crosswalk distance and exploring the feasibility of other crosswalk enhancements.
- Accessibility: Rebuild curb ramps to meet accessibility standards.
- Road surface quality: Repave Beacon Street from Cleveland Circle to the Newton City Boundary.
- Traffic: Maintain existing road capacity while narrowing travel lanes to encourage safer speeds.
- Parking: Maintain on-street parking and ensure access to local recreation and park.
- Connected bicycle network: Update the existing bike lanes to increase separation between people biking and vehicles.
