Traffic/Pedestrian Signal Complaint Archived157 Walden Street Cambridge, MA, 02140, USA - Neighborhood 9Button on south side is not working. Warning lights do not turn on
-
Linnaean St & Raymond St Cambridge, MA, 02138, USA - Neighborhood 9Ever 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.

Disregarded Stop signs ArchivedRaymond St & Walden St Cambridge, MA, 02140, USA - Neighborhood 9Of 50 cars to traverse this 4 way stop intersection at a park corner, only 10 cars came to a complete stop. 20% compliance is an opportunity for serious injury. Some cars did not come to a complete stop even when children were crossing the intersection. This is typical when I do this counting.

Pavement Marking Issue Archived1922 Massachusetts Ave Cambridge 02140, United States - North CambridgePlease repaint the crosswalks on Mass Ave near Porter Square. It’s been weeks since the road was repaved, and now holiday madness is upon us. It’s already too dangerous to cross the road, and it’s only going to get worse. The city is at risk of a lawsuit, or worse. The crosswalks need to be put in NOW.

Bike Lane Obstruction ArchivedMassachusetts Ave Cambridge, MA, 02140, USA - Agassiz-HarvardUnfair targeting to cyclists and citation blitz by Cambridge Police Officers in bike lane south of Porter Station on Mass Ave in an area where cars, delivery drivers, ride share vehicles are constantly and dangerously parked in bike lane on Mass Ave from Harvard Square to Porter Square, yet are never targeted by local police. I commute through this area every day for the past year and this misuse of community of public resources is as outrageous and misguided as it is an abuse of authority
against cyclists instead of drivers. In an area that is so hostile to cyclists and commuters on bicycles, how can this police action be justified? -
Construction Complaint Archived5 Chauncy Street Cambridge, Massachusetts, 02138 - Neighborhood 9This is the end result of the work at 5 Chauncy. Did they really have a permit for this seven car parking lot?

Requesting gate/fence opening ArchivedVan Norden St & Yerxa Rd Cambridge, MA, 02140, USA - North CambridgeAn opening in the fence or gate in conjunction with the curb cut would allow better access to the school yard and reduce congestion on the sidewalk during arrival/dismissal.

Pavement Marking Issue Archived60-64 Walden Street Cambridge, Massachusetts - Neighborhood 9Pedestrian crossing missing across Walden St at the intersection with Richdale Ave on the north side of the intersection. (The other three pedestrian crossings, two across Richdale Ave on either side of Walden St, and one across Walden St on the south side of the intersection, are present.) This is a particularily popular intersection for commuters walking to Porter Sq. Adding the fourth pedestrian crossing would increase safety of existing crosswalks by preventing vehicles from being parked close to the intersection along Walden St, thereby increasing visibility. It would also make corner store more easily accessible, increasing number of visitors, making the neighborhood livelier and more pleasant. Already existing speed limits, speed limit sign on Walden St approaching the intersection from the north, length of plateau on commuter rail overpass, and already existing all-way stop signs ensure that vehicle operators coming from north can safely yield to pedestrians at proposed crosswalk.

Traffic signals needs adjustment ArchivedHuron Ave & Rc Kelley St Cambridge, MA, 02138, USA - Neighborhood 9The 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.

Mead St Cambridge, MA, 02140, USA - North CambridgeDrivers around rush hour (3pm-8pm) are recklessly driving down Mead st every day often cutting into the wrong lane on Walden st towards mass ave to cut past traffic. Multiple times today alone I was at risk of being hit both as a driver and a pedestrian. They swing around the corner with no visibility often at an inappropriate speed. It is a two way street only large enough for one car at a time and as a resident it becomes unsafe to drive up the street towards Walden st (the opposite direction from these reckless drivers). Exiting driveways is also extremely unsafe, I was almost killed while exiting a driveway today by a car that raced down the street and stopped barely a foot away from hitting me while I was still perpendicular to the road while backing out. He had to go around me because he didn't give me enough space to straighten out and even get close to making room for him to pass appropriately. This street is not equip to handle this kind of traffic. There are children living on this street and it is terrifying for 5 hours of the day. There was a cop placed in front of the street once but had no impact by the next week. What is needed is a sign for residents only even just for the afternoon. PLEASE HELP! This is really really scary and nothing has been done despite my own as well as other complaints I've heard being made by others.
