Same thing the next block up at Cross and Ferry, cars speeding in all directions. On Ferry St, cars will often zoom around on the right to pass other vehicles that are going straight through the intersection, sometimes nearly hitting parked cars.

Perhaps these would both be good places for a raised crosswalk? Especially with the school right there.

That would be a great idea. Cars definitely are flaunting rules of the road on this street. It's a dense area so it's only a matter of time before a serious accident occurs.

Oops meant to "not following", not "flaunting".

Would also appreciate action regarding the speeding and noise of revved-up motorcycles on Cross Street. It's been going on for years, spring through fall, mostly on weekend evenings, many times per evening, well into the early hours of the morning. It appears to be done by only one or two persons, so it shouldn't be too hard to locate and stop them.

The same with Boylston St parallel to Cross St. People take the one way to avoid the light and speed down the street at 40 or 50 mph. Perhaps a speed bump would help

Traffic enforcement will examine this location for possible signage updates and improvements as well as monitor the location for traffic violations.

Thank you Lt. Fortier. We appreciate the response and look forward to the safety enhancements to the area.

As far as signage goes, there are 6 speed limit signs on Cross St. which is sufficient according to state regulations. I have considered a radar trailer in the area but the size of the trailer on those narrow streets could cause more harm than good. At times parking violations can add to traffic clusters and cause a ripple effect. MPD traffic enforcement will monitor traffic flow in the area and certainly stop and cite any violators we come across. However, as I'm sure you can all imagine, with sight of a marked police cruiser in the area, most people tend to obey the traffic laws that you all witness on a day to day basis when there is no police officer in the area.

Update. This morning, at the intersection of Cross and Ferry, a pedestrian is verbally accosted by a driver as the pedestrian is crossing at the crosswalk. The driver is angry because he can't turn right quickly enough at a red light. Again this car is speeding to the red light. This is becoming a daily routine now.

area monitored intermittently.
