  • Damaged Sign

    Intersection Of Glenmont Rd And Lake St, Brighton, Ma

    The stop sign at the corner of Lake Street and Glenmont Road (the sign facing motorists coming down Lake St.) that was recently installed is now missing. The addition of the three stop signs at this admittedly awkward intersection was a boon to public safety, although it would have been better if the sign had been visible to all -- the view of it from other angles was blocked by a do-not-enter sign (which of course is essential for this one-way street), meaning drivers approaching the intersection from the other two streets weren't always sure it was a 3-way stop. The best thing to do would have been to install "3-way stop" signs visible to drivers approaching from all three directions, *and* to give drivers coming down Lake Street a heads-up "Stop sign ahead" sign toward the bottom of the Lake Street hill. But now, with the stop sign for Lake St. traffic removed, it's the worst possible scenario: increased uncertainty for drivers -- and pedestrians -- who had gotten used to the stop signs. I know one bicyclist who came close to getting killed by a car he'd expected to stop. At minimum, the stop sign needs to be re-installed (along with other helpful signage, see above). Moreover, crosswalks must be painted at every crossing point -- two on Lake Street as well as one on Glenmont and one on Kendrick. Again, this is an awkward intersection we've all inherited, but it's heavily trafficked by cars and pedestrians, and it needs to be made safe and sane for everybody.

    Case Noted. The stop sign was installed in error. Stop signs are not installed to control speeding, stop signs are installed for right of way. Lake Street has the right of way while the side street have to stop. BTD will continue to reevaluate this intersection for safety improvements. Thank you for contacting 311 and BTD.

    Case Noted. BTD is looking for better support but when there is a Boston Graden Event Thank you for your comments about your concerns regarding the use of concurrent walk sequencing at this location. Please be assured that the first priority of the Boston Transportation Department is working to provide safe streets for all users. Over half of BTD operated traffic signals utilize concurrent walk operation as it improves pedestrian compliance with walk signals. This type of walk signal operation is consistent with pedestrian signal operation throughout the country. We will evaluate this location to confirm that the operation is consistent with current BTD Engineering guidelines for use of this type of pedestrian signal sequence. Valenti Way is closed and vehicles are allowed to make that early U Turn.
