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.

Figure 30: Trips and GHG Emissions in 2016<br />
This map depicts the relationship among three factors: the number of trips made to/from<br />
Boston, the GHG released per trip, and the distance from Boston. A color represents two<br />
dimensions: the number of trips that start or end in Boston, and the quantity of GHG released<br />
per trip. The blue inner core has a greater number of trips, but much lower GHG emissions per<br />
trip compared with outer regions.<br />
Inset Graph: The vertical axis is the average number of daily trips to/from Boston; the horizontal<br />
axis is the GHG released per trip.<br />
