I will second this request. As a resident of Sagamore Ave, I have to negotiate this intersection on a daily basis. I would add to this that the traffic (car and foot) going into the shops there adds to the dangerous mix.

I agree: It needs help.

Instead of squared-off "T" intersections, every street has, instead a wide "bellmouth" opening into this intersection that invites people in cars to take the turns "at speed" and also make for extremely long crossing distances on foot (Sagamore is practically 5 lanes wide, measured along High St, and the island is oddly placed, and doesn't have an ADA cut to accommodate wheelchairs/strollers).

People in cars on Boston coming west into High don't have a good "stop line" location and treat the rounding like it was a freeway slip lane not needing a Stop.

Similar forces are at work all over this intersection it feels more like a cloverleaf than a collection of T intersections.

My first suggestion: USE PAINT to make the asphalt look narrower (and the sidwalk wider) and see if it changes behavior any.

Also use paint to expand the size of the refuge islands in the median of Boston Ave and Sagamore here.

Add a sideline on High Street along Bennet Delta to make the road feel smaller and create something of a bike lane

After a month there has been no action on this by the city.

Might need to ask Sgt Hartnett for some help here.
