(Chelsea Update would like to thank Emily Lake for the information in this story.)
On Sept. 6, Chelsea City Council unanimously approved a request to re-deploy the Chelsea POP demonstration project throughout the month of October.
Building on the success of last year’s project, residents will see temporary, low-cost street improvements popping up on more neighborhood streets including W. and E. MIddle Street., S. East Street, Washington Street and Madison Street. Treatments chosen during a public input period this summer included shared lane markings, medians, striped parking, weighted pedestrian cones, removable speed cushions, and wayfinding signs.
These improvements are aimed at slowing traffic and increasing safety for pedestrians and bicyclists.
Residents are encouraged to share feedback through an online survey that will be available on the project website while improvements are being demonstrated.
The City of Chelsea will be collecting this feedback to determine what improvements should be made permanent.
