personTo Mayor Wu's Office
I am a Boston resident writing about the unacceptable delays in street safety improvements, particularly on Hyde Park Avenue.
Glenn Inghram was killed in a crosswalk at Forest Hills. Over 700 residents have signed a petition demanding action. Yet the city has chosen to delay safety designs until 2026.
This is not acceptable. I urge you to:
- Implement Alternative 2 immediately
- Direct BTD to prioritize safety over traffic flow
- Publicly commit to a timeline for improvements
How many more tragedies must occur before the city acts?
Sincerely,
[Your Name, Your Neighborhood]
groupsTo Your City Councilor
As your constituent, I am writing to urge your active support for street safety improvements in our district.
[INSERT PERSONAL EXPERIENCE: Describe a dangerous location you navigate, a near-miss you witnessed, or how street conditions affect your daily life.]
The administration's slow pace on projects like Hyde Park Avenue is unacceptable. I urge you to:
- Press for immediate implementation of safety designs
- Support budget allocations for street safety
- Hold public hearings to increase accountability
Will you champion this issue?
Sincerely,
[Your Name, Your Address]
