Featured projects

Somerville Neighborways

With the City of Somerville we developed a network of low-stress “Neighborways”, alternative safer routes for people who walk and bike. These sidestreets run parallel to the city’s busy arterial streets to connect key locations for everyday living.

Acton Rail Trail consulting

Neighborways consulted with the Town of Acton on designing ways to connect Rail Trail bike riders with local businesses nearby. Their initiative will include wayfinding signage, and we proposed bike rest stops near useful services.

SomerNOVA Alley tactical urbanism

Using popup events and tactical urbanism pilots, we have been helping the owners test improvements and traffic flow in this mixed-use alley.
