🚶🏾♀️ Sidewalk repairs on Dudley Street
🚶🏾♀️Better signals at Columbia Rd, Dudley St & Stoughton St

SAFE STREETS. STRONGER NEIGHBORHOODS.
Getting kids to school, workers to the T, and small businesses the foot traffic they depend on.
You walk these blocks. You know what needs attention. Advocate with us. 💜

What does keeping our minds healthy as we age actually look like?
That`s the question residents explored with the @healthyboston this month in a conversation about dementia, the misconceptions around it, and the everyday habits that support brain health.
The Boston Public Health Commission didn`t just walk us through the research. They helped separate the myths from the facts and stuck around to answer resident questions one-on-one.
Housing gives you a place to live. A strong community gives you connection, trusted resources, and opportunities for well-being at every stage. 🧠💛
