The Metropolitan Area
Planning Council (MAPC) has recently begun the process of
updating the Regional Pedestrian Plan. The Plan will identify and
recommend policies to facilitate and encourage walking as a convenient,
safe, and practical form of transportation throughout the 101 cities
and towns of the Boston region. One piece of the research for the
Plan is a survey asking about pedestrian behavior and needs. They’ll
use information from this survey to help guide the recommendations
and priority issue areas. The survey is online at www.mapc.org/pedplan and
takes only 5-10 minutes to complete. Please forward widely.

the efforts already made to clean the river, and to highlight the need
for recreational river swimming for all in the future. Click here to
