Welcome to the Newburyport Livable Streets website! Along with information about our activities, this site is meant to be a resource for Newburyport residents interested in the design, character and safety of our streets. As such, the site includes pages about street projects and proposals in the City, as well as general reference materials to help you learn about accepted and innovative street design strategies that might address an issue or problem that you’ve identified.

Here’s an overview of the site, corresponding to the menu items at the top of each page:
