The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
Add greenery (e.g. lining the fencing, add a traffic island with trees, etc.) or other forms of shade to the Harrison, Washington, and Shawmut overpasses over the turnpike.
Who it helps and why
The overpasses themselves and surrounding areas are totally exposed to the elements and get unbearably hot and sunny during the summer. For South End, Bay Village, and Chinatown residents who cross those routes each day, it is an extreme weather experience.
