Description

The intersection at wadsworth st and amherst street in kendall sq is dangerous for pedestrians now. Due to ongoing construction in the area, this is the best way for me and others to get to my home on amherst st. Wadsworth is now one way, with fencing blocking one of the lanes. This fencing makes it very difficult for cars to see the stop sign at the intersection. The problem is made worse with the bad lighting here. I dont blame drivers for not seeing the sign at night- because of construction and poor lighting- but better lighting would help ensure pedestrian safety here. Its so dark that i know when drivers miss the sign, they also may not see pedestrians who have to cross here due to multiple sidewalk closures. Please install better lighting here at the cross walks, in addition to maybe adjusting the stop sign for better visibility. Thank you
