Wakefield is a town synonymous with outdoor recreation. People come from around the region to enjoy the perfect 5K route around beautiful Lake Quannapowitt.  

​

At just under 8 square miles, Wakefield has a network of 88 miles of roads that connect our commercial and recreation areas, public transportation stops, and unique neighborhoods. 

​

Safe Streets Working Group believes that anyone, young or old, should be able to confidently and safely enjoy Wakefield streets on foot, on a bike or scooter or behind the wheel of a motor vehicle.

We provide a strong community voice and technical expertise focused on helping Wakefield adopt best practices for multi-modal transportation. This includes safe and visible crosswalks and signage, designated bike lanes, and consistent and continuous sidewalks.

​

Join us as we raise awareness of and advocate for a town that embraces walking, running, biking, and rolling as a viable, safe, and healthy transportation and recreation option!
