波士顿起诉联邦政府 要求恢复2000万美元街道改造拨款
波士顿市政府9月28日向联邦法院提起诉讼，挑战联邦交通部取消一笔2000万美元拨款的决定。这笔款项于2022年批出，原计划用于一项总造价近3400万美元的Roxbury社区街道改造工程，内容包括修整三条繁忙道路、拓宽人行道并提升公交通行效率。
市府在诉状中表示，项目中的电动车充电设施占比不足总造价的1%，市方曾主动提出移除该部分内容，但仍未获恢复拨款。市长吴弭称，这笔竞争性拨款是社区长期等待的基础设施改善。案件已在马萨诸塞联邦地区法院立案，编号为1:26-cv-14419。
Boston Sues Federal Government to Restore $20 Million Street Grant
The City of Boston filed a federal lawsuit on September 28 challenging the U.S. Department of Transportation's cancellation of a $20 million infrastructure grant. Awarded in 2022 through the RAISE program, the funding was to support a nearly $34 million redesign of three heavily traveled streets in Roxbury, including road repairs, wider sidewalks, and faster bus service. City lawyers argue the project's electric vehicle chargers accounted for less than 1 percent of total cost and that the city offered to drop them without success. Mayor Michelle Wu said the competitively won grant addresses long-needed neighborhood upgrades. The case, City of Boston v. Duffy, is docketed as No. 1:26-cv-14419 in Massachusetts federal court.
