Castle Square Tenants Organization is applying to the Neighborhood Slow Streets Program. Neighborhood Slow Streets is a new approach to traffic calming requests in Boston. The aim of the program is to reduce the number and severity of crashes on residential streets, lessen the impacts of cut-through traffic, and add to the quality of life in our neighborhoods. Each year, residents, neighborhood associations, and other community-based organizations will be able to apply for traffic calming in a specific neighborhood. Selected neighborhoods will work with the Boston Transportation Department and Public Works Department to plan and implement their Neighborhood Slow Streets project.

CSTO is applying because our community is located in a very high traffic area close to public schools, churches, parks, Tufts Medical Center, and parking lots. We ask for your support by signing our petition: help us reduce traffic accidents and slow cars down in our community!
