Deskripsyon

Traffic on Broadway is fast and unforgiving. With the nearest crosswalks over two blocks away in either direction, people are forced to make mad, dangerous dashes across Broadway in order to reach the bus stop, laundromat, and quick mart located at this intersection.

Thank you for notifying us about this matter. I have contacted the Somerville Police. They will be monitoring this location for speeding issues. I have also contacted our traffic engineer about the crosswalk matter. Unfortunately Traffic & Parking has conducted a site review of this location. Traffic and Parking does not support the installation of a crosswalk at this location. In order to install a new crosswalk, the crosswalk must be ADA compliant. There are no ADA ramps at this location for a crosswalk across Broadway. In addition, traveling EB from the Powderhouse Rotary towards Ball Square there is both a horizontal and vertical curve east of the Powderhouse Rotary. These curves would adversely affect the sight lines of motorists for pedestrians in a crosswalk across Broadway at Bay State Ave. The stopping sight distance for a vehicle traveling the speed limit of 30 MPH is 200’. Due to the aforementioned curves vehicles would have difficulty stopping for pedestrians if there was a crosswalk at this location. In addition there are established crosswalks across Broadway at the Powderhouse Rotary and across Broadway. These crosswalks are approximately 450’ and 400’ respectively away from Bay State Ave. These crosswalks should be used to safely cross Broadway along the corridor from Powderhouse Rotary to Willow Ave. I hope this was helpful information.

I observe this site every day, for an extended period of time, and I can safely say I have never seen a pedestrian walk the 400' to Powderhouse Rotary or to Willow Ave in order to cross Broadway to walk 400' back and reach the other side of this bus stop, the Laundromat, or the convenience store. If Traffic and Parking thinks it is too dangerous to place a designated crosswalk, ideally with center stand, at this location, imagine how dangerous it is to leave this area unaddressed. People WILL continue to cross here, and motorists WILL continue to speed. The blame will be on Traffic & Parking when the inevitable happens and someone is hurt at this location.

It's pretty illogical that some detached committee has the last word in whether this area receives a crosswalk; a committee comprised of people who undoubtedly don't live in the area or cross this street every day.

Seriously, guys. This bus stop has moderate traffic, from people coming in all directions. This is a very dangerous place to cross the street.

This area continues to be a causeway for foot traffic across Broadway, despite the lack of crosswalk. Crosswalk definitely necessary.
