Community Tour
In groups of 2-3 students with 1-2 staff, go to each district’s town center. For those towns that are within the MetroWest area, students will use the regional bus service (MWTRA.org) to travel to/from the targeted locations. For those towns (Medway, Franklin, Medfield) that are not covered by the MetoWest bus service, we will use our own vans to transport back and forth. In addition to the downtown areas, the “shopping strips” along routes 9 and 30 from Framingham to Natick will also be canvassed by groups as they walk along the sidewalks of the busy roads.
During a walking tour of downtown and/or shopping areas, take pictures of each road sign you come across (there will be many!). Your mission is to gather pictures of at least 15 unique traffic signs.

- Take 2 pictures of each sign to ensure clarity.
- Using either the notes feature or the voice recorder of your mobile device, record the exact location (crossroads, street address, odd/even side of street…).
- If your device is gps-enabled, then turn on the camera’s location services in order to have each photo geo-tagged.
