  • 157 Walden Street Cambridge, MA, 02140, USA - Neighborhood 9
    Button on south side is not working. Warning lights do not turn on
  • 101 Hampshire Street Cambridge, MA, 02139, USA - Cambridge
    I counted 33 missing flex posts on Hampshire between Prospect and Broadway. Many of the missing posts are at side streets -- exactly where we need them to prevent vehicle sharp turns and killed cyclists. Please replace these ASAP. If you don't have the capacity to replace them all the time then Cambridge should consider a real barrier that doesn't get destroyed within a year of installation. -- a community driver and cyclist who doesn't want more community members killed
  • Alewife Brook Pkwy & Massachusetts Ave Cambridge, MA, 02140, USA - North Cambridge
    This morning, I had to go to Shattuck Ace hardware, Arlington to pick-up special-order items. Mass Ave was backed up, so I made a right at Churchill Ave (0,2 miles from ABP) to go to Broadway in Somerville. When I turned right onto Alewife Brook Pkwy at the end of Matignon Road, I noticed the westbound Alewife Brook Pkwy was backed up beyond the traffic light at Woodstock Street for total of at least 0.3 miles.
    On the way back, once again, I ran into stalled traffic on the southbound Mass Ave on Arlington side.
    Please do something to mitigate this traffic congestions during rush hour if for nothing else but to reduce air pollution caused by all the idling cars.
    Sometimes the backup on northbound side goes all the way back to Pemberton. All told, there could be a mile or more if cards idling and that is a lot of air pollution!
    Please conduct traffic survey to measure the length of traffic backup on all 4 sides of the intersection during the peak of rush hour. TP&T has shown that they can conduct traffic survey without traffic counters during the community meeting period of the Cycling Safety Ordinance implementation in north Mass Ave so I am sure they can redo this survey.
    Thank you
  • Antrim St & Cambridge St Cambridge, MA, 02139, USA - Mid-Cambridge

    During the morning and evening commute on the pole immediately to the right of the driver (in the northwest corner of the intersection) there is a solid red light AND a blinking yellow right arrow, along with a permanent No Right on Red sign hanging from the pole. It seems that the purpose of this yellow arrow is to indicate the driver can turn right with caution for the bike lane, however with the red light remaining illuminated, the driver is also told by the hanging sign that they cannot proceed right.

    This results in a very large number of confused drivers per day who will sit through the entire traffic cycle waiting to turn right while not a single car can go through. The practical outcome of this is that cars behind them become so frustrated that they eventually swerve around the car in the front partially crossing over the double yellow into the northbound lane of Hampshire street. This creates an incredibly hazardous situation to drivers and pedestrians.

  • Linnaean St & Raymond St Cambridge, MA, 02138, USA - Neighborhood 9
    Ever since Garden Street became one way, Raymond has been inundated with cars, trucks, school buses, and delivery vehicles. Raymond isn’t wide enough to accommodate all this extra traffic, along with heavy pedestrian use and cyclists. Someone is going to get seriously hurt or worse unless something is done about this. Cars need to be directed away from Raymond into larger streets. At a minimum, we need to have no turns onto Raymond from 7-9am and 5-7pm.
  • Hampshire St & Inman St Cambridge, MA, 02139, USA - Wellington-Harrington
    In the northwest direction of Hampshire St., the signal length has been dramatically shortened. This is inconvenient enough, but the more pressing issue is with traffic coming at the same time from Cambridge St. in the opposite direction, if anybody needs to turn left onto Inman St., essentially an entire light cycle is missed by the rest of the lane. A left turn cycle would be massively helpful to help mitigate this issue.
  • 56 Concord Ave Cambridge MA 02138, United States - Neighborhood 9

    I am standing in front of my condo building on Concord Avenue and I am very startled and frustrated by the traffic lining the outbound street between Huron Ave. and Craigie Street.

    Currently, there is a solid line of cars, buses, delivery trucks, and construction vehicles up and down the street.

    This is not a suitable traffic pattern and has an immediate negative impact on me and my neighbors on Concord Ave.

    I am supportive of bicyclists and all modes of transport, but cannot believe that this is the best scenario for our fair Cambridge. This is not a good look for our city or the planning that goes into traffic upgrades / projects.

    I hope that we can find an alternate solution that supports all.

    Respectfully submitted.

    No turn on red sign has turned away from facing traffic turning right onto Hampshire St towards Somerville from the Inman Square intersection. I came within half a foot of being hit in the bike crosswalk by a driver who drove right through and turned right on red here at rush hour yesterday. Please fix the sign for the drivers who don’t know they’re not allowed to turn right on red to prevent more potential accidents.
  • Garden St & Waterhouse St Cambridge, MA, 02138, USA - Neighborhood 9
    Yellow lights do no turn on to flash on both sides when you click the button.
  • Huron Ave & Rc Kelley St Cambridge, MA, 02138, USA - Neighborhood 9
    The traffic on Huron going from Concord to Garden is now backed up for several hours a day (due to the change on Garden St). Signals at both intersections need to be adjusted so that the Concord and Huron intersection is not blocked by the line of cars (which makes people start maneuvering around and thats unsafe for pedestrians and bikers alike). And the lights at Huron and Garden need to be adjusted now that there are so many more cars approaching on Huron, it can take 4+ light cycles to get from Concord to Garden between 2 and 7 pm.
  • 215 Prospect Street Cambridge, Massachusetts, 02139 - The Port
    The traffic lights for pedestrians are out
  • Cambridge St & Hampshire St Cambridge, MA, 02139, USA - Wellington-Harrington
    This is what a normal day looks like from 3-6pm... This is NW bound Hampshire St traffic passing through this intersection.. As you can clearly see the traffic is backed up all the way to Prospect st from Cambridge st. This is because the traffic light only stays green for 10 seconds for the NW Bound Hampshire St traffic... I've complained about this before 6 months ago and was told it was resolved but clearly it has not. My suggestion would be to increase the NW bound hampshire st green light from 10 seconds to 20 (It seems like the traffic issues started ever since they reconfigured this intersection)
