Activating Columbia Road: Reframing a Missing Link
This report was guided by Field Projects, an Urban Planning practicum at Tufts University. Our team (Aqsa Butt, Xianzheng Fang, Marah Holland, Lev McCarthy, and Megan Morrow) was partnered with LivableStreets Alliance to consolidate previous studies, recommendations, and outreach methods relating to Columbia Road. This was in effort to inform Livable Streets’ future community engagement along the corridor.
