    Intersection Of Summer St And Dry Dock Ave And Pappas Way, Boston, Ma

    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." |

    Case Noted. Thank you for reaching out to us with your issue. We share your concerns about making the City streets safer and we recently revised our speed hump program so that neighborhoods can receive them more quickly. We aim to slow traffic to make every street in the City safer and more comfortable for walking, biking, and rolling. A map is available on boston.gov that shows which streets in the City will receive speed humps during the first three-year phase of construction. We will continue to update the map as new phases of construction are determined. We plan to design and build speed humps in about ten areas each year for the next three years. This is approximately 500 speed humps per year. Thank you for contacting 311 and BTD.

    23 Merola Park, Mattapan, Ma, 02126

    Constiutent is complaining that Large Trucks come down Merola Park and because they are so big, they can't make the turn onto Morton Street. The drivers of these large trucks are going up to residents and requesting that they move their vehicles so the trucks can make the turn. Unacceptable!! The large trucks when making this turn are hitting other vehicles in the process. These large trucks belong to the plumbing business on Morton Street. |
