The legacy of America’s highway-building era weighs heavily on the East Somerville community, which features dense, mixed-income neighborhoods burdened by particulate pollution, unhealthy noise levels and disproportionate frequency and severity of traffic crashes. Speak with local officials and stakeholders fighting to mitigate the harms of Interstate 93 and adjacent state highways through grassroots organizing, scientific research, physical traffic calming and road diets. We hope you’ll be inspired to try new approaches to address historic inequities in your own community’s freeway-burdened neighborhoods.
