Constituent states "As a resident of South Boston who travels Pappas Way to Reebok’s HQ on Drydock regularly, I would like to voice a frustration that many share at the intersection with Summer Street. The recent design of the intersection has been very helpful for those already on Summer. However, if you are traveling from Drydock or Pappas Way, it has become a very difficult to navigate. For one, the light is not green long enough. This means that agitated drivers will turn left on red lights regularly. This obviously isn’t safe for anybody – drivers on Summer, pedestrians, or cyclists. My two proposals involve left-only lanes: 1. Since exiting Drydock is already two lanes, my proposal would be to make the left lane an only-left. The right lane would be dedicated to drivers going straight onto Pappas, or turning right on Summer (facing Pumphouse Road). And since there are no longer right hand turns on red, this wouldn’t create a new congestion area. Instead, it would alleviate the traffic of those wanting to reach Pappas Way, but are stuck in the left lane behind drivers ahead of them turning onto the Raymond L. Flynn Memorial Bridge. 2. Opposite Drydock – Pappas Way – unfortunately only has a single lane for each direction. My proposal would be to shift the double-yellow center lines slightly closer to the small surface lot at the corner. This would allow for enough space for drivers wanting to reach Drydock. They would be able to go around traffic unable to turn left onto Summer Street (facing Pumphouse Road). Unfortunately, drivers on Pappas Way facing Drydock are unable to identify which traffic is turning onto the RLFM Bridge, which traffic is travelling towards them onto Pappas Way, and which traffic is turning with them onto Summer Street." |

Constituent suggest to prevent double parking, having a section just for delivery drivers. |

Constituent wishes that the speed bumps be re-engineered because they are not slowing down vehicles as they are intended to |

Constituent states there is a need for speed humps along allston street between melville and centre st. Constituent states there are speeding cars coming both ways. Constituent is requesting inspection and installation |

Const. states drivers on Jamaicaway often speed through this intersection when they have the red light. Requesting traffic cameras |

Constituent states the road diet at centre st and manthorne rd is unnecessary. Constituent is very frustrated because she sat through 4 red lights in a row, vehicles are cutting each other off, there is only one lane to go through and it takes twice the travel time. Constituent would like the road to go back to what is was before |

Constituent states "I am writing to bring attention to a matter of grave concern regarding the safety of pedestrians and motorists at the intersection of Adams Street and Oakton Avenue. As a resident of this community, I have observed numerous near misses and accidents at this particular junction due to limited visibility. I kindly request your immediate attention to installing a traffic mirror at this intersection to enhance visibility and ensure the safety of all road users. The absence of a traffic mirror exacerbates the risk, especially during peak hours. Due to vehicles parked in front of the Boston Public Library where visibility is obstructed to oncoming traffic (traveling NORTH), please install mirrors near the pedestrian sign that is presently on the LEFT (Heading NORTH) on the same side as 677 Adams Street. Your prompt action in addressing this issue will undoubtedly contribute to the overall well-being and security of our community. Thank you for your attention to this matter." |

Constituent states "I am an owner of a unit located at The Stratus Residences. The end of our driveway as it connects to Washington Street has proven to be a very dangerous turn to navigate. It is difficult if not impossible to see cars coming from either direction and forces me to edge my car out into the intersection which leaves me very exposed to oncoming traffic. I frequently travel from the building and through this intersection and it is always nerve-wracking at best. We would greatly appreciate some solution before someone is injured or worse. Possibly placing no parking areas on both sides of Washington Street allowing clear vision to both sides of the street. Thank you for your consideration." |

Constituent states she has witnessed multiple times the 37 bus struggle to get turn on lagrange st because of the bike lane dividers. Constituent is requesting adjustments to the lane/dividers. |
