I'm speaking now on the @MA_Senate floor in support of Amendment #141, which increases funding for the successful Complete Streets program. #mapoli

#CompleteStreets is a @MassDOT Program that provides technical assistance and funding to eligible municipalities in order to enable safe mobility access for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit riders of all ages and abilities. #mapoli

#CompleteStreets make it easier and safer to cross the street, walk to shops, catch the bus, or bicycle to work. #mapoli

I’m proud to have filed the original legislation that created the #CompleteStreets program back when I was a State Representative, with the help and support of @MAPCMetroBoston and other advocates. #mapoli

Since 2017, 216 municipalities across the Commonwealth have adopted #CompleteStreets policies, and 148 Complete Streets projects have been approved and funded, demonstrating the program’s clear success. #mapoli

During the pandemic, as walking & biking surge and the need to physically distance continues, #CompleteStreets investments will support a safe and strong recovery. They can help revitalize downtown neighborhoods and support retailers, restaurants, & small businesses #mapoli

The amendment was adopted! More #CompleteStreets on the way in Massachusetts. #mapoli
