Improve crowded North End sidewalks

Resident asks to improve sidewalks on Salem, Richmond and Prince Streets, where crowding pushes people into the street, and possibly close some streets to cars, for ADA access and safety.

English title and summary written with AI from the resident's text.

The resident's idea, as submitted

The idea

Improve sidewalks in the North End - notably Salem Street, Richmond Street, and Prince Street, which have heavy pedestrian traffic. People are currently walking in the street because the sidewalks are so crowded. Maybe even close some to cars!

Who it helps and why

It would address non-conformity with ADA standards of sidewalk accessibility and literally prevent injuries and even loss of life because of danger of walking in street.
