Many of the streets that run from High Street down to Merrimack and Water Streets experience vehicle speeds that conflict with safe pedestrian movement. Adding physical elements to a street can both calm traffic and provide space for amenities like landscaping.
Targeted Projects to Support Walking and Cycling in Newburyport

We encourage the City administration to consider these ideas for funding through the State's Shared Streets and Spaces grant program or through other sources.
