Lynn Awarded Federal Safety Grant

September 9, 2024 - The City of Lynn has been awarded a $9.6 million federal grant to implement roadway safety improvements at some of the most dangerous roadways and intersections throughout the City. The funding is awarded through the Safe Streets for All (SS4A) program created through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

Funding will be used to implement recommendations from the Lynn Safety Action Plan recently adopted by the City Council, and will seek to calm traffic, enhance pedestrian crossings, reduce conflicts at roadway intersections, and improve night-time visibility in areas with high levels of pedestrian traffic. Taken together, these improvements will make our roadways safer for all modes of transportation. Funding will also support outreach and engagement activities; stay tuned to the Lynn Safety Action Plan project page to engage and learn how the Safe Streets Grant will be used. In the meantime take a look at the City's SS4A grant application.
