The project was performed to assist the Urban Environmental Initiative of the US Environmental Protection Agency in assessing traffic and open space in Chelsea and East Boston. The project team conducted traffic studies and documented open space, ultimately mapping results on GIS layers. The project team created an expandable database and a website with the intent to increase awareness in the communities about existing environmental problems.
