Mayor Miro Weinberger Statement on Results of North Avenue Ballot Item
“Last night’s results indicate that there are a lot of people throughout the City who are interested in improving North Avenue, and I continue to believe it is important to explore if that can be done. However, I am concerned that so many New North Enders have reservations about the pilot and hope they will reserve final opinion until they experience the reconfiguration and review related safety and traffic flow data. In the weeks ahead, I will be working with New North End Councilors and residents to try to establish consensus about how the pilot will be evaluated and to build confidence in the process going forward.”
