Okay....I'll try again. First I would like to say that the new Walter Hannon Parkway is great for circumventing quincy center. It looks great as you continue to landscape the area. Thank you for a job well done.
So, heading north on washington street and trying to take the left onto hannon parkway where there are no green arrows to allow traffic to take that left onto hannon parkway. When the light does turn green everyone tries to go at once and there is a bulge of traffic which very often comes to a standstill with cars stuck in the intersection after the light has turned red....very frustrating. If the northbound traffic was allowed to go left on a green arrow before the southside of washington street is allowed to advance, I think traffic would flow a little easier. (It is easier to go straight right INTO quincy center than take the left onto hannon parkway which is not what you want to happen) I thought one major reason for this parkway is to keep traffic out of quincy center?
Also, the area in front of the quincy rehab./nursing home, even though there are two signes on the two telephone poles out in front "no parking anytime" there are ALWAYS cars parked there in front which causes the east flow of traffic on hannon parkway to "squeeze" left before the light on washington st.. This causes many near misses in traffic accidents. Anyway, I sent an email previously about this issue and do not think that it went through. Thank you for looking into these two problems.

Also, it is not quite explained what "summary" means above - confusing

Hi Barbara! thank you for explaining in detail. I am a resident here, just like you. And I have to say I agree with you on this set of traffic issues. I feel strongly that in a number of places in the City, Private interest is allowed to interfer, or worse, take a way Public interest. Your citing parked cars in front of Nursing Home is a prime example.
I would like to see the City take effective action to ensure that Public Use and Access of Public Space, Sidewalks and Streets for example, be protected and preserved for The Public! I've noticed in a number of places with this new construction of the Concourse that Public access was sacraficed for Private Interest. Case in point, the VFW Lodge - they narrowed down the side walk on the corner so the Lodge could keep there front access. A better compromise would have been making the Lodge make room for Women & children in baby carrages feel safe having enough room to pass on that corner. I feel there is a bias in City decision making FOR Private interest. Ther are numerous examples throughout the City. I'm glad we now have this forum - KODOS To The Mayor and Staff!!!

Thank you for using the SeeClickFix system - we hope that this new partnership will be a beneficial tool for the residents and the City. With respect to the new Hannon Parkway, the State still has control of the traffic signals. Once the City is given control over the road/signals, we will make any necessary timing adjustments, both at Washington Street and on Hancock.
