Boston filed a lawsuit on September 28, 2026 challenging the U.S. Department of Transportation's decision to withdraw a federal grant intended for street improvements in the Roxbury neighborhood. The grant, originally awarded in 2022, was pulled by the department in September 2025 while the Trump administration was in office.
The city argues that the Department of Transportation improperly removed the funding, prompting legal action to restore the grant for the planned upgrades.
