City of Medford PLUS

⚠️ Requesting prioritization of speed bumps and enforcement on GEORGE ST. Please! Tragically, a resident's dog was killed last week by a speeding car. On more than one occasion ,'veIave been aggressively tailgated and sped arounst (while going the speed limitIt also happens on Stanley Ave daily - which is another straightaway type street peoplimunpatiently cut through. Playstead Rd. is another. .)

Can we please see if the city would consider a speed hump/bump/table before both set of cross walks in this area of high street Drivers are going too fast and this also “downhill”. While police do monitor the area, they cannot be there 24/7 as a speed deterrent presence , A proper speed deterrent right prior to cross walks could help stop this problem. I see the speed tables on other streets in Medford and it does a good job as most drivers slow down.

Cars, motor cycles, and heavy machinery traffic is observed driving at high speeds on Grove St. How can I request a digital speed sign for speed limit enforcement on this street?

There needs to be a stop sign at the corner for Suffolk St. and Essex St. Drivers use Suffolk St. as a cut through to avoid the rotary on route 60. Cars fly down Suffolk St. A stop sign needs to be put in before a serious accident takes place.
It would be better if only residents were allowed on this round during rush hour traffic times.

The posted city speed limit is 25. This allows drivers to slow down enough for actively used cross walks and for taxing paying citizens of Medford to enter/exit their driveways. Drivers are speeding and tailgating and the new “improvements” to this stretch of road did not help curb he speed of drivers. Please have the city of Medford review and improve this before a serious accident takes place.

Most cars speed crazily in both directions. Despite the 2 yellow crosswalk signs, they don't stop (20 cars went by this morning before one stopped).
Last week, one car stopped and the one behind was driving so fast he swerved to the other lane, he was lucky there was nobody coming, it would have been a terrible accident. Maybe lights on the crosswalk signs and the repainting of the crosswalk will help. But the core of the problem is that the speed limit is not enforced. We had a police car for a few days before the pandemic but then vehicles went back to the "High street" speed.

although 25 mph is the city wide speed limit, it is quite fast for McCormack Ave (between Winslow and Lila) we have slow signs but cars are still in a hurry to get to the dead end. There are 6 kids (all under 6) in this stretch who often play outside. I don't believe speed limit signs will work but perhaps speed bumps/tables would?

Cars are going faster and faster up and down Doonan Street. There is way too long of a stretch without a Stop sign from the Stop sign at Park Ave up to Doane Road. Can a Stop sign be placed on Doonan Street at the corner of Short Street in both directions?

Access to High St, especially when turning left is very dangerous from Sagamore, Boston and Grove. It is a difficult problem with so many streets intersecting with High St within a short distrance wihtout a traffic circle or any signals.
