Lower neighborhood speed limits in Natick up for discussion

The town of Natick says it wants to hear from you if you live or work there at its Safer Streets For All: A Community Forum on Tuesday, Jan. 26 at 6:30 p.m. on Zoom.

The Transportation Advisory Committee, Natick Department of Public Works, and Natick Department of Community & Economic Development will share information on Complete Streets projects designed to help make the town’s roads safer for all users, including pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, and transit riders.

An online tool will be introduced that will allow input about where street improvements are needed.

In addition, there will be a discussion of a proposal to allow lower neighborhood speed limits, as have been implemented in other communities, including Framingham (25mph, down from 30mph in thickly settled neighborhoods).
