Boston’s Transportation Dept picks Bowman to supervise Roslindale action plan

Bowman Consulting (BWMN) Group has been selected by the City of Boston’s Transportation Department or BTD to oversee planning, engineering and community engagement efforts for the Roslindale and Maverick Squares Transportation Action Plan and Design. Bowman will build on the previous planning initiatives in both neighborhoods to develop a comprehensive understanding of the current conditions and design context and work closely with local stakeholders to develop community-informed designs. The Company’s work will be supported by Openbox and KMDG, integrating innovative outreach strategies and creative design approaches to ensure the final plans address the diverse needs of residents, businesses and visitors. In addition to longer-term design plans for key streets and intersections in each square, two low-cost, tactical improvements will be executed as demonstration projects in 2025. These updates will prioritize pedestrian and cyclist safety, improve transit access and enhance public spaces.
