Lynn City planning: street furniture installation expected soon; pilot to be evaluated for traffic impacts

Host Riley reported that, after contacting Lynn City's planning department, staff said the project has experienced minor delays and that street furniture installation is expected shortly; the city will then establish parking zones along Central Avenue using metal barricades and analyze traffic impacts and public feedback to decide the pilot's duration. "According to the planning department uh that project there have been some minor delays but street furniture is expected to be installed soon," the host reported.

The episode framed the installation as a pilot: city staff plan to review data and community response after installation before deciding whether to extend the treatment or pursue additional grants. RAW said the work was funded through the Bloomberg Philanthropies Asphalt Art Initiative and will be assessed for its effect on pedestrian and cyclist safety.
