The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
Create a pedestrian overpass so people can safely get to Moakley Park and Carson beach without having to cross the dangerous crosswalks by JFK.
Who it helps and why
Creates a safe and accessible route which is utilized by all Bostonians, but predominately young schoolchildren at Boston Collegiate Charter School, other youth sports teams such as Harlem Youth Lacrosse, and the hundreds of people who enjoy Moakley and the surrounding waterfront everyday. Also, it would provide a safer and faster route to the Harborpoint housing area.
