Complete Streets Program
The MassDOT Complete Streets Funding Program provides technical assistance and construction funding to eligible municipalities. A complete street is one that provides safe and accessible options for all travel modes—walking, biking, transit and vehicles—for people of all ages and abilities. Improvements may be large scale (ie. corridor-wide improvements) or focused on the needs of a single mode.
To be eligible for funding, municipalities must:
- Pass a Complete Streets Policy, and
- Develop a Prioritization Plan.
- View the map associated with this plan
- Learn about the planning process
2020 Update
On February 11, 2020, Envision Wakefield Downtown project leaders announced Complete Streets funding for upgrades to Albion Street. A virtual meeting took place on July 30 where residents and business owners discussed Albion’s design and reconstruction plan. With the potential for Albion to serve as a model for the larger Envision Wakefield Downtown Revitalization initiative, time was also spent discussing streetscape and landscape themes for the Main Street portion of that project.
To prioritize work within the budget of this particular Complete Streets grant, Albion's Phase One concept was created. Phase Two will include improvements west of North Ave. and lighting upgrades.
