This is a dangerous intersection where many children face oncoming traffic to cross the street to get to school. The O'Bryant, Madison Park, and Timilty Schools are on this block.

Is it a traffic or pedestrian signal problem: [Pedestrian Signal] What is the problem with the traffic signal: [No Working Lights] Please explain: [Hello. Please consider putting streetlights along the pedestrian/bicyclist walk way that runs adjacent to the Riverway (ie. parallel to the T tracks by the Longwood station.) I park my car on Netherlands and take that walkway along the river until crossing the street by Wheelock (I then continue on my walk to Harvard Vanguard on Brookline Ave) Now that winter is here it is extremely dark for the walk home and there are many walkers and cyclists traveling in the dark, and I don't feel particularly safe. I seriously hope that you will consider this request. THANK YOU!!!!!] Is the Pole knocked down: [No]

Please explain: [On Hyde Park Ave. opposite Forest Hills Station there is a pedestrian and motorist controlled traffic signal. Another such signal, just pedestrian controlled, is at the northern end of Forest Hills Station, on New Washington Street. These pedestrian controlled lights are each less than one hundred feet away from regular timed traffic signal. Given their proximity, why can not the pedestrian controlled lights be synced with the regular traffic signals? Forest Hills traffic is an ongoing nightmare, and these pedestrian controlled lights make things even worse. Check them out at rush hour some time and you will see how they significantly impede the flow of traffic unnneccessarily.] Is the Pole knocked down: [No]

Is it a traffic or pedestrian signal problem: [Traffic] What is the problem with the traffic signal: [Other] Please explain: [Corner of Queensberry St and Park Dr - IMPORTANT: EAST END of Queensberry St., leading to Agassiz Rd./Fenway. Traffic coming down Queensberry stops at this intersection to wait for the green light ahead, past the inner street. However, the light shift is activated by a sensor which will work only if cars move past the inner street, that is closer to the sensor. There's a sign indicating where to stop, but most drivers don't notice it. As a consequence, the light never changes, backing up traffic behind and leading to a lot of honking and, not rarely, angry drivers who sometimes step out of their cars to yell at the driver holding up traffic, who has no idea what's going on. The noise of both honking cars and fights are quite disturbing at times, and reach many of the residents. Perhaps an overhanging sign would be more visible than the present one?] Is the Pole knocked down: [No] What kind of pole is it: [Vertical Pole]

Caller reports traffic signal blinking and holding up traffic. | Sygnal problem: [Traffic] Type of problem: [Flashing/Blinking]

Is it a traffic or pedestrian signal problem: [Traffic] What is the problem with the traffic signal: [Other] Please explain: [At the corner of Park Drive and Riverway, next to the emerald necklace, heading south, you need a "NO RIGHT TURN ON RED SIGN." There's one facing the other way, but none for cars to stop completely, heading south towards Brookline Ave. This is a very dangerous and congestion part of Fenway for pedestrians as well as cyclist crossing from the Riverway, Emerald Necklace park. The construction also makes it particularly treacherous. I much appreciate you seriously considering this matter. Thanks, Simon] Is the Pole knocked down: [No] What kind of pole is it: [Vertical Pole]
