Despite a month of persistence by advocates, the Wu administration has not made any commitments for safer streets (scroll down for our full letter). 

On Monday May 4, Boston City Council will hold a hearing focused on the upcoming fiscal year budget for the Streets Cabinet— the Boston Transportation Department and Public Works Department (July 2026-June 2027).

This is a critical opportunity to speak up for safer and more livable streets in the City of Boston.
