As part of our investigation of pedestrian mobility issues in Newton in 2009-10, the Environmental Issues Committee with the Newton Planning Department sponsored a group of Worcester Polytechnic Institute students. The student group studied four neighborhoods: Newton Centre, Newton Corner, Chestnut Hill from the T stop to the malls, and West Newton.
The WPI students presented their recommendations May 3, 2010 at the library.
Their reports on improvements to the whole city are here.
