MassDOT Announces Winners of 2024-2025 Signs and Lines Program
Scituate Public Schools recently collaborated with Safe Routes to School (SRTS) in response to families' safety concerns about pedestrian routes near Gates School. SRTS conducted a thorough evaluation and compiled a detailed report containing recommendations for improving student safety. Using this information, Scituate Public Schools applied for a grant from the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) to secure funding for the proposed enhancements.
The Town received the Signs and Lines grant to improve traffic lines and signs around Gates School. This grant represents a joint effort involving the Scituate Police Department, the Department of Public Works, Scituate Public Schools, and Safe Routes to School. As part of the grant, MassDOT will partner with the Town to determine the most effective ways to use the funds to enhance pedestrian safety.
