波士顿灯塔山万圣节封街：今晚4时至9时多条历史街道禁止车辆通行
波士顿——万圣节之夜，波士顿历史街区灯塔山（Beacon Hill）再次封街迎客。灯塔山市民协会（Beacon Hill Civic Association）与市政府及警方协作设置路障：10月31日下午4时至晚9时，多条街道禁止车辆通行，让成群结队的讨糖孩子与居民在煤气灯下安全行走。
据市民协会公布，封街范围包括：布兰奇街（Branch Street）全段、栗树街（Chestnut Street）胡桃街至查尔斯街段、欢乐山街（Mt. Vernon Street）乔伊街至查尔斯街段、平克尼街（Pinckney Street）乔伊街至西雪松街段、西雪松街（West Cedar Street）里维尔街至栗树街段、默特尔街（Myrtle Street）乔伊街至里维尔街段、欧文街（Irving Street）菲利普斯街至默特尔街段，以及南拉塞尔街（South Russell Street）剑桥街至默特尔街段。
灯塔山的万圣节封街是波士顿延续多年的社区传统：红砖联排住宅的住户在家门口发放糖果，橡子街（Acorn Street）等鹅卵石小巷挤满变装儿童，被视为全市最有气氛的讨糖路线之一。
市民协会还安排11月1日上午10时在菲利普斯街游乐场（Phillips Street Playground）集合，由义工协助清扫街区。警方提醒驾车人士当晚避开灯塔山一带，查尔斯街商圈人流将明显增加。

Boston's Beacon Hill Closes Historic Streets to Cars Tonight, 4 to 9 p.m., for Halloween
BOSTON — Beacon Hill, Boston's historic gas-lit neighborhood, closes its streets to cars again for Halloween night. The Beacon Hill Civic Association, working with the city and police, is barricading multiple streets from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. on October 31 so that crowds of trick-or-treaters can move safely through the neighborhood.
According to the association, the vehicle-free streets are: all of Branch Street; Chestnut Street from Walnut to Charles; Mount Vernon Street from Joy to Charles; Pinckney Street from Joy to West Cedar; West Cedar Street from Revere to Chestnut; Myrtle Street from Joy to Revere; Irving Street from Phillips to Myrtle; and South Russell Street from Cambridge to Myrtle.
The Halloween street closure is a long-standing Beacon Hill tradition. Residents of the red-brick rowhouses hand out candy at their doors, and cobblestoned lanes such as Acorn Street fill with costumed children, making the hill one of the city's most atmospheric trick-or-treat routes.
The civic association will also gather volunteers at 10 a.m. on November 1 at the Phillips Street Playground for a morning-after cleanup. Police advise drivers to avoid the Beacon Hill area that evening, as crowds around Charles Street will be heavy.
