The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
I would propose a resurfacing project of the running tracks around the city.
Who it helps and why
Running is an easy, low cost way of promoting and maintaining fitness. Boston is a runner’s dream city and preserving and maintaining the running track spaces, especially in municipalities that are traditionally prone to chronic illnesses, can make fitness accessible for all.
