Descrizione
There is a Traffic Signal for pedestrians, however it is only on one side of the dangerous HIGHWAY SPEED intersection (the side opposite Lowe's), and it is shrouded in leaves due to a huge tree enveloping it. We saw a lady just throw herself onto the parkway to cross the street, and she ran as fast as her work pumps allowed. We waited forever, never saw a "walk" signal, and also just said a few Hail Mary's and ran across the street. Obviously this is a problem. We just moved down the street and don't want to be roadkill. I'm sure drivers don't want to have to avoid our carcasses on the road for the following weeks as well. Traffic jam. PLEASE have the city make the walk sign more visible to us lowly pedestrians! Paying to park for a literally 2 minute drive to arrive safely would be absurd.

With all due respect I find this a little hard to believe that the MBTA has jurisdiction over a signal that controls pedestrian traffic on Burgin Parkway. I agree that this is a treacherous section of road and it is only a matter of time before there is another accident like there was up the road earlier this year.
By the way - regardless of who is responsible - it is 7 days later and situation has not improved. How long does it take with government to get this done? Is the plan to let the winter correct the situation? What do we need to do, write our Congressman? Just get out there and cut the darn tree please.

Nary a response from the City after two more days.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you your local government at work.
