Projects

pedestrian review Use this category to report missing or obstructed sidewalks, curbcuts, or crosswalks. Electric bus task force Discussion about electrification of buses in Newton, including school buses, transit buses, and private shuttles. Problem intersections Focused discussion about specific Newton intersections that may be candidates for improvement. Connecting Paths/Trails “Connecting Paths/Trails” will capture non-vehicular paths and trails that we use to connect to our destinations. The focus is on short foot/micro-mobility paths that are used to get from one destination to another. One of the aims of this project is to ensure these paths are included in the City’s eventual GIS Sidewalk Layer and sidewalk prioritization plan. Repaving: Opportunities Newton adopted its Complete Streets Policy in 2016 that notes “that all roadway projects, including new construction, maintenance, and reconstruction offer the opportunity to apply complete streets principles and values.” Just paint projects "Just Paint" projects are roadway improvements that can be made with just paint: no engineering studies, construction, or change of regulations required.
