More multilingual street signs
The resident asks for more street signs in multiple languages to help new residents, people without smartphones, non-English speakers and visitors, especially near busy MBTA stops.

The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
More street signs - and in various languages. Boston seems to have fewer steet signs than any city in the country! Let's label our streets and up visibility for locals and visitors.
Who it helps and why
New residents, residents without smart phones, residents not fluent in English - all will benefit from more, multi-lingual street signs. I think of "little Korea" in Allston, but also signs nearest our busiest MBTA stops.
