The DPW - Transportation Division receives numerous complaints each year from Brookline residents claiming that motorists are speeding on their streets. The DPW staff coordinates closely with the Brookline Police Department Traffic Division to review all complaints and prioritize them based on our familiarity with traffic flow and safety conditions in the area. As a result, a neighborhood request for a safety improvement evaluation cannot always be addressed by the DPW in the order in which it is received.
