Description
The traffic light at the corner of Beacon and Park St. is very short that makes the cars which needs to turn left coming down from Park St. impossible to turn. Because there is lack of signal of left turn, the cars coming from the street that is facing Park St. always have the right of way to go straight. The left-turning cars from Park. St. always have to wait until the light is about changing to red to turn but then the pedestrian light comes on. With such short time while pedestrians are walking across right at that corner, it is very dangerous to everybody. No even mention when the bus that needs to come in to the narrow Park St. that always almost hit the cars awaiting for their turn to do the one-second left turn onto Beacon St.. Please fix the problem before anyone gets hurt. Thanks!

I've submitted the same request before and the ^^link provided here^^ to 311Somerville is very helpful.
As for the buses making that turn from Beacon onto Park, I will mention that there is a sign on Park Street directing cars to stop "here" - well before the intersection - for the purpose of allowing buses to make that turn. Most people either don't see it, or ignore it (probably so they can try to scoot left through that interection as soon as the light changes!!) :-D
