Please join MassDOT and the City of Boston for a Design Public Hearing about the Safe Routes to Schools project for the Ellis Elementary and other schools in the Garrison Trotter neighborhood of Roxbury.
This project includes street changes to make it safer for students to walk to school by calming traffic at six intersections in the Garrison Trotter neighborhood:
- Walnut Ave at Crawford St and Holworthy St
- Walnut Ave at Cobden St
- Walnut Ave at Westminster St
- Walnut Ave at Ruthven St
- Abbotsford St and Crawford St (Wolf Square)
- Humboldt Ave at Munroe St
Currently, the Walnut Ave corridor experiences excessive travel speeds, and there is a need to improve shorten the pedestrian crossings at Abbottsford St and Crawford St, and Humboldt Ave at Munroe St/Humboldt Court. The construction of raised intersections along Walnut Ave, a curb extension at Abbottsford and Crawford streets, and a median refuge island for the pedestrian crossings across Humboldt Ave at Munroe St and at Humboldt Court are proposed to improve safety.
