In this DPCD update, the Department of Planning and Community Development (DPCD) Director, Claire Ricker welcomes two new members to the DPCD team and provides an overview of Complete Streets, which aims to prioritize existing transportation assets and work needed. This effort stems from Connect Arlington, the Town’s Sustainable Transportation Plan, which the Select Board approved in 2021. She also announces the MBTA Communities Working Group has been assembled and will begin their work, and reports on two recent grant awards. One award to support the design of a connection between the Mystic River Path and the Minuteman Bikeway trail and the other to develop a handbook to promote sustainable landscaping.
