Street-safety construction is planned around Ellis
What happened
Boston's project page says MassDOT construction was expected to begin in June 2026 at six intersections around Ellis, adding raised crosswalks, curb extensions, and pedestrian islands.
Why it matters to families
The work is intended to slow traffic and make daily walking routes and crossings safer for Ellis students and families.
The evidence
The city page lists the project as Construction and describes the six-intersection improvements, but it does not confirm that work actually began or give a completion date.
