As part of the Boston MPO's "NO-HEAT" project, WalkMassachusetts is leading a series of walk audits in Framingham, Chelsea, Revere, and Everett to help understand how heat impacts people walking along streets in our neighborhoods. We're looking to gather feedback and identify possible opportunities for ways to make places cooler, whether with more trees, shade structures, or something else you might suggest. Tentative dates for walk audits led by WalkMassachusetts are listed below; please RSVP for any you'd like to join and staff will follow up with more details. Learn more about the project here. Not able to make these dates but want to weigh in? You can also contact the WalkMassachusetts team via email: staff@walkmass.org
