Following longstanding neighborhood concerns about speeding, traffic safety, visibility, and pedestrian access, the Bellevue Hill Improvement Association (BHIA) formally requested a comprehensive Road Safety Audit of LaGrange Street, Redgate Road, St. Theresa Avenue, and surrounding streets on October 16, 2026.

​

BHIA also raised concerns following MassDOT's confirmation of deficiencies in Boston's crash reporting spanning approximately 18 years (2004–2022). In a follow-up communication, BHIA requested that the City obtain historical crash records directly from Boston Police to support a more complete and accurate roadway safety assessment.

​

The correspondence below documents BHIA's requests to City officials and will be updated as additional information and responses become available.
