  • Linnaean St & Raymond St Cambridge, MA, 02138, USA - Neighborhood 9
    Ever since Garden Street became one way, Raymond has been inundated with cars, trucks, school buses, and delivery vehicles. Raymond isn’t wide enough to accommodate all this extra traffic, along with heavy pedestrian use and cyclists. Someone is going to get seriously hurt or worse unless something is done about this. Cars need to be directed away from Raymond into larger streets. At a minimum, we need to have no turns onto Raymond from 7-9am and 5-7pm.
  • Alewife Brook Pkwy & Massachusetts Ave Cambridge, MA, 02140, USA - North Cambridge
    This morning, I had to go to Shattuck Ace hardware, Arlington to pick-up special-order items. Mass Ave was backed up, so I made a right at Churchill Ave (0,2 miles from ABP) to go to Broadway in Somerville. When I turned right onto Alewife Brook Pkwy at the end of Matignon Road, I noticed the westbound Alewife Brook Pkwy was backed up beyond the traffic light at Woodstock Street for total of at least 0.3 miles.
    On the way back, once again, I ran into stalled traffic on the southbound Mass Ave on Arlington side.
    Please do something to mitigate this traffic congestions during rush hour if for nothing else but to reduce air pollution caused by all the idling cars.
    Sometimes the backup on northbound side goes all the way back to Pemberton. All told, there could be a mile or more if cards idling and that is a lot of air pollution!
    Please conduct traffic survey to measure the length of traffic backup on all 4 sides of the intersection during the peak of rush hour. TP&T has shown that they can conduct traffic survey without traffic counters during the community meeting period of the Cycling Safety Ordinance implementation in north Mass Ave so I am sure they can redo this survey.
    Thank you
  • 2377 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA, 02140, USA - North Cambridge
    I recently submitted an issue regarding the creation of a bus lane in 1 of the 2 lanes on Mass Ave, near Day Street as approaches route 2. It has created incredible traffic congestion. In addition to my previous report, I'd also like to mention it makes even less sense now that MBTA has just announced service cuts. Additionally, as COVID cases rise, many folks are reluctant to take public transportation (understanding for some there is no choice). I have not seen any buses in the bus lane, as I sit in traffic for 30 min for 10 blocks every day (previously 5 min or so). This is incredibly frustrating, in already frustrating times, and I do hope this can be reconsidered.

    3 more cars parked in the bike lane. Completely blocking the area.o
  • 56 Concord Ave Cambridge MA 02138, United States - Neighborhood 9

    I am standing in front of my condo building on Concord Avenue and I am very startled and frustrated by the traffic lining the outbound street between Huron Ave. and Craigie Street.

    Currently, there is a solid line of cars, buses, delivery trucks, and construction vehicles up and down the street.

    This is not a suitable traffic pattern and has an immediate negative impact on me and my neighbors on Concord Ave.

    I am supportive of bicyclists and all modes of transport, but cannot believe that this is the best scenario for our fair Cambridge. This is not a good look for our city or the planning that goes into traffic upgrades / projects.

    I hope that we can find an alternate solution that supports all.

    Respectfully submitted.

    Greek Corner customers park illegally every night at the corner of Mass Ave and Dudley. This is more than a bike lane issue. They block car traffic by double parking and they block pedestrians by parking in the crosswalk. The bike lane issue has been a problem every night since the separated lanes were installed. Greek Corner should be made to deal with the problems being caused by their customers.
  • Huron Ave & Rc Kelley St Cambridge, MA, 02138, USA - Neighborhood 9
    The traffic on Huron going from Concord to Garden is now backed up for several hours a day (due to the change on Garden St). Signals at both intersections need to be adjusted so that the Concord and Huron intersection is not blocked by the line of cars (which makes people start maneuvering around and thats unsafe for pedestrians and bikers alike). And the lights at Huron and Garden need to be adjusted now that there are so many more cars approaching on Huron, it can take 4+ light cycles to get from Concord to Garden between 2 and 7 pm.

  • Van Norden St & Yerxa Rd Cambridge, MA, 02140, USA - North Cambridge
    An opening in the fence or gate in conjunction with the curb cut would allow better access to the school yard and reduce congestion on the sidewalk during arrival/dismissal.
  • 1 Highland Park Cambridge, MA, 02139, USA - Mid-Cambridge
    For the past several days, several times a day, there is a high-pitched, constant hum that can be heard throughout the neighborhood. It is especially loud near the Cambridge hospital, but doesn't seem to be coming from the hospital. I am not sure where it is coming from, but it affects the entire area. It is really, really aggravating because it can be easily heard indoors when our windows are open. I have recordings of it.
  • Cambridge St & Hampshire St Cambridge, MA, 02139, USA - Wellington-Harrington
    This is what a normal day looks like from 3-6pm... This is NW bound Hampshire St traffic passing through this intersection.. As you can clearly see the traffic is backed up all the way to Prospect st from Cambridge st. This is because the traffic light only stays green for 10 seconds for the NW Bound Hampshire St traffic... I've complained about this before 6 months ago and was told it was resolved but clearly it has not. My suggestion would be to increase the NW bound hampshire st green light from 10 seconds to 20 (It seems like the traffic issues started ever since they reconfigured this intersection)
  • 1522-1532 Cambridge St Cambridge, MA, 02139, USA - Mid-Cambridge
    For several months now, the separated bike lane on Cambridge Street on the westbound side have been missing. This creates a huge gap in separation according to original design. In the section between Maple Street and Fayette Street, there are no flexposts. As a result, cars park in the buffer zone, creating a door-zone hazard. Please install the new flexposts as soon as possible.
