City of Medford PLUS

The crosswalk paint is faded and on such a busy street with speeding traffic the crosswalk needs yellow pedestrian crossing signs.

This report is more about the bike lane. it's fading so much on this entire road, that it's dangerous for bikes because the drivers now lane split into two lanes because they can't see the paint and ignore the bike lane.

There is desperate need for crosswalk installation on this area of College avenue in front of the Joyce Cummings Center at Tufts. Safe access to the this highly trafficked building and the soon to open Green line station is seriously hindered by the lack of a nearby crosswalk. Pedestrians walk through traffic and dart between idling cars to cross the street to access the Cummings building. This will surely be exasperated when the green line opens next week, when only more pedestrian commuters will flood this area. The lack of a crosswalk here poses a serious risk to pedestrians. Vehicles are also in danger, forced to avoid jaywalking pedestrians. I hope that the city’s traffic and engineering department will prioritize the placement of a crosswalk in this area before a pedestrian is struck here.

People consistently create the bike lane as a second lane since the signage and road line markings are worn down and faded. This is incredibly dangerous for those using the bike lane

The newly painted crosswalks are incompletely painted for months now and has not helped pedestrians. Are they just going to be parallel lines without the cross lines, redefining the crosswalk symbol (making it more danerous for pedestrians)? For public safety it is important that the roads are painted properly and urge for the same. Also the pedestrian sign board was removed near the entrance to into fells?!

Pretty much all the crosswalks along High St. and adjacent side streets need repainting. Maybe we need to try better paint?

Also, when I post this stuff it asks me if it’s the same open issue from two years ago. May be time to close out old requests.

There is no protected path for pedestrians on the northside of High Street across one of the busiest intersections around. Please paint a crosswalk here, even if there are ongoing studies about this area. It is an awful place to cross.

Yes, there is a crosswalk on the southside. But there is no way to get to it without running through unmarked open huge areas of pavement. This can has been kicked down the road for years, fix it already before there is blood on someone’s hands.

Trying to reach bus stop by Mobil it's dangerous enough crossing here and with the faded crosswalk drivers don't stop. Please repaint

Raised crossing needs painting

Can the City please send someone out to repaint the crosswalks at the intersection of George Street and Main Street. The paint on both of these is pretty much gone, especially the one at the end of George Street. This is a dangerous area for pedestrians and I've almost been hit by cars trying to cross on foot in this area. Most of the time they do not stop for pedestrians especially since there's no crossing light here. Repainting is not enough to fix this problem but it is the minimum the city should do. I am tired of putting my life on the line every time I go through this area and I know I'm not alone. We can do better to make Medford welcoming and safe for pedestrians and modalities that are not driving, and learn a lot from what Somerville has done. Thank you.

The crosswalk in front of Robinson Hall needs repainting as well as a blinking light for signage. This is an outstanding report on SeeClick Fix as well as an issue that Medford DPW has received phone calls about. I think it should be reported to the interim head of the DPW for review. Thank you!
