DIY Newton is a grassroots urbanism campaign. Our streets should be safe for all modes of transportation and yet, the city of Newton has not made bike safety a priority. 

​

Between 2010 and 2020, 328 crashes were reported in the city between a vehicle and bicyclist. That's an average of three accidents every month.

 

Our first action is a targeted campaign of signs at intersections that have experienced 3+ collisions AND at least one incapacitating injury to the bicyclist.

 

We are here to let drivers (and the city!) know that bikes belong on the road too. If Newton won't make this a priority, we'll just have to Do It Ourselves!
