Official Text

To the Honorable Board:

 

{The following is a response by Traffic and Parking to the following Board Order.)

Board Order 190690:

That the Commissioner of Public Works and the Director of Traffic and Parking evaluate the feasibility of placing a STOP sign at the intersection of Bow Street and Somerville Avenue (East).

 

The intersection of Bow St and Somerville Ave (East) is not a location where a Stop sign can be installed per the provisions of the MUTCD.  At this location Bow St is a one way street.  Somerville Ave is also a one way street.  Bow St traffic enters/flows into a dedicated one way travel lane on Somerville Ave. (see attached).

 

A Stop sign can not be installed at this location.  Please contact me if I can be of further assistance.
