Book excerpt: "Improving the public realm was identified as a top priority by the community engagement process of Go Boston 2030, the citywide mobility plan completed in 2017. The process also highlighted a need for new short- and long-term public space strategies to reclaim underutilized transportation infrastructure in our neighborhoods. In response to these placemaking aspirations, Go Boston 2030 called for a Public Realm Plan to identify, celebrate, and leverage placemaking opportunities in our street network. The key goals and aspirational targets outlined for the Public Realm Plan were focused on increasing accessibility to multi-modal transportation in all neighborhoods, eliminating traffic fatalities and severe injuries on our streets, and improving the commuter’s experience of Boston’s street network. These guidelines build on previous and ongoing efforts by the City of Boston to improve the functionality and quality of experience of our streets. In 2013, the Boston Transportation Department released Boston Complete Streets, a set of best practices and urban design guidelines for creating multi-modal, shared streets." --page 3.
