Newton mayor to launch transportation panel
By Sarah Thomas, Town Correspondent
After a summer littered with tragic traffic accidents, Mayor Setti Warren announced today that one of the key promises of his administration is about to be fulfilled -- the appointment of a transportation advisory committee.
The Transportation Advisory Committee, will advise the mayor's office on issues relating to cars, bicycles, public transportation, and pedestrian safety. The panel will be introduced to the city at a press conference Tuesday.
The committee will be chaired by Stephanie Pollack, associate director of the Dukakis Center for Urban and Environmental Policy at Northeastern University.
"We need to be proactive on the issue of transportation and road safety, and I strongly believe Stephanie Pollack's broad and diverse experiences in urban policy will be extremely helpful," Warren said in an interview.
