Boston City Councillor John M. Tobin, Jr. today announced Slow Down Boston, a new public awareness campaign aimed at curbing speeding in the city’s neighborhoods.
“We hope that the Slow Down Boston Campaign will make people think twice how fast they are driving,” said Councillor Tobin. “People like to laugh about Boston’s reputation for terrible drivers. It’s a joke that’s not funny anymore. Speeding is a public safety issue and it’s a quality of life issue that must be addressed.”
Signs reading “Please Slow Down Boston” are now available to city residents free of charge through Councillor Tobin’s office. The red and white signs can be placed on lawns or affixed to front porches and fences.
“My office receives calls from residents nearly everyday asking for help with speeding or traffic-related problems,” said Councillor Tobin. “It’s one of the top issues on the minds of my constituents.” more »
