Description
I was almost struck by a car yet again while crossing at the corner of Oliver street and Washington Square. This is a heavily used crosswalk by families and tourists. Traffic comes flying around the corner of Winter street and Washington Square and puts pedestrians in danger that are crossing at Oliver street.
You really need to A) Put the traffic lights at Winter and a Washington Square on a cycle, B) Put stop signs there, or put a crossing light at Oliver street.
I know if at least 3 accidents there in the last 2 years. One where a car blew through the intersection and crashed into a telephone pole on the common, and two where legally parked cars were rear ended by cars coming around the corner (how does that even happen?).
Somebody is going to be seriously injured or killed if this isn’t addressed.

A. Traffic lights only activated when the crossing button is pressed - but the crosswalk in question is around the corner from the signal.
A. Traffic control at this intersection needs to be re-thought.
