On Tuesday, May 19, 2026, the City Council authorized the Mayor to enter into a contract with BETA Group Inc. for up to $117,000 to complete the Six Corners Supplemental Action Plan under the Safe Streets and Roads for All program. The project is fully funded by a $100,000 federal grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation and the City’s already-committed $25,000 match, with no additional taxpayer funding required.
This supplemental plan will deliver both small-scale and large-scale recommendations to enhance safety for pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, and public transit users in the Six Corners area. The action advances the City’s adopted Safe Streets and Roads for All Safety Action Plan and supports the goal of zero roadway fatalities and serious injuries by 2045. As a result, East Providence moves closer to safer streets, reduced crashes, and stronger protection for all residents who live, work, and travel in the Six Corners neighborhood.
