Project Overview
Over the course of five years and many rounds of public meetings and stakeholder conversations, the Office of Transportation, Infrastructure, and Sustainability and the Department of Streets crafted a vision for Roosevelt Boulevard. The report outlines:
- Immediate traffic safety and public transit improvements for the near term
- Analysis of roadway and public transit improvements that will change the look and feel of the Boulevard by 2040
