Traffic Map of Brookline

Through the Massachusetts Open Streets initiative, the City of Brookline posted a roadmap on the city website and asked residents to report intersections, road signs, sidewalk obstructions, or anything else that caused issue. Residents could place one of five types of pins (Accessibility, Bicyclist, Pedestrian, Transit, or Driver) on the map and add a comment explaining the problem. When the map closed for input in late June, there were 740 responses. Planners and transit officials will use this input to guide future traffic and streets work.
