Boston – The American Council of Engineering Companies of Massachusetts (ACEC/MA) has named Howard Stein Hudson as a winner of a 2018 Bronze Engineering Excellence Award for work on the Central Square Complete Streets Reconstruction project in East Boston.
Howard Stein Hudson, with offices in Boston and Chelmsford, was retained by the city of Boston to work with the Transportation Department, Parks and Recreation Department, Public Works Department, and the Boston Water and Sewer Commission on the design of roadway, drainage, and streetscape improvements in Central Square.
The East Boston Complete Streets project creates a safer environment for cyclists; shortens pedestrian crossings; expands the park; widens sidewalks; includes green stormwater infrastructure elements; and provides safe back-in angle parking.
