City of Medford PLUS

The crosswalk in this intersection is barely visible. I have almost been hit on many occasions both walking and driving through this intersection. Just today I saw a W.B. mason truck completely avoid the stop sign, which may have been prevented if he at least saw the crosswalk clearly. Please help make this intersection safer for residents!

Raised crossing needs painting

There is no protected path for pedestrians on the northside of High Street across one of the busiest intersections around. Please paint a crosswalk here, even if there are ongoing studies about this area. It is an awful place to cross.

Yes, there is a crosswalk on the southside. But there is no way to get to it without running through unmarked open huge areas of pavement. This can has been kicked down the road for years, fix it already before there is blood on someone’s hands.

Crosswalk in need of repainting

Please repaint crosswalks at this intersection. Cars rarely stop for pedestrians and it feels dangerous. Please make this intersection safer for pedestrians

The crosswalk at Essex and High needs to be repainted and it could also use a flashing light or some other way to control speed. Kids in the neighborhood are terrified to cross due to the number of cars that have sped by without even slowing down.

Whole bunch of crosswalks just got re-applied around here. The faded former crosswalk across Canal St. at Prescott still needs repainting, as neighbors keep reminding. Presumably one’s going to be applied across Prescott here—might as well replace the one across Canal, too.

There is desperate need for crosswalk installation on this area of College avenue in front of the Joyce Cummings Center at Tufts. Safe access to the this highly trafficked building and the soon to open Green line station is seriously hindered by the lack of a nearby crosswalk. Pedestrians walk through traffic and dart between idling cars to cross the street to access the Cummings building. This will surely be exasperated when the green line opens next week, when only more pedestrian commuters will flood this area. The lack of a crosswalk here poses a serious risk to pedestrians. Vehicles are also in danger, forced to avoid jaywalking pedestrians. I hope that the city’s traffic and engineering department will prioritize the placement of a crosswalk in this area before a pedestrian is struck here.

This report is more about the bike lane. it's fading so much on this entire road, that it's dangerous for bikes because the drivers now lane split into two lanes because they can't see the paint and ignore the bike lane.

Pretty much all the crosswalks along High St. and adjacent side streets need repainting. Maybe we need to try better paint?

Also, when I post this stuff it asks me if it’s the same open issue from two years ago. May be time to close out old requests.

People consistently create the bike lane as a second lane since the signage and road line markings are worn down and faded. This is incredibly dangerous for those using the bike lane
