First Shared Streets Project in the Books!

Shared Streets Project being installed by residents and volunteers on Lynde St

The Melrose Ped/Bike Committee congratulates the City of Melrose, as well as the residents of Lynde St and Walnut St, for successfully implementing the City’s first “Shared Streets” quick-build traffic calming project on Friday, October 2nd. We were tremendously impressed with the dedication and enthusiasm of the residents, who came together as a neighborhood and decided to take action against the persistent problem of cut-through driving on this street.

Check out a video of the new installation on our Twitter account below:

Okay, it's settled. The COOLEST street in Melrose is Lynde Street, where residents heard about the City's "Shared Streets" grant, rallied together, and then approached the City about doing a quick-build project to encourage slower driving, and safer walking and biking.?? ? pic.twitter.com/eMEbo5pbOs
