Mission
Streets should work for the people who live on them.
Boston Better Streets Coalition is organizing residents to demand streets that are safe, accessible, reliable, and built around neighborhood life instead of political caution.
What we believe
Every neighborhood deserves streets that are safe, connected, and vibrant. Kids should be able to bike to school. Seniors should be able to cross without fear. Bus riders should not lose hours to streets designed only around car throughput. Accessibility and community well-being should be the foundation of street design, not an afterthought.
The problem
Boston once led on safe, sustainable mobility. Today, the vision is stalling. Projects are paused, bike and bus lanes are removed, and corridors like Hyde Park Avenue and Columbia Road are left behind. In the name of "community process," bold plans are quietly shelved while residents are asked to accept delay as progress.
What we do
We track delays, document backslides, publish updates, organize residents, and push leaders to deliver the safer city they promised.
Track
Projects, timelines, budget decisions, and broken commitments.
Document
Dangerous conditions and the public record behind stalled work.
Organize
Residents who want safer crossings, reliable buses, and protected bike routes.
Help hold Boston accountable.
Join residents pushing for the streets the city promised.
