Traffic and Parking Response to #189015 re: the intersection at 132 Cedar St. and Lexington Ave.

Official Text

To the Honorable Board:

 

In response to Board Order 189015, Traffic and Parking (T&P) reviewed the intersection of 132 Cedar Street and Lexington Avenue for pedestrian and property safety measures, as well as contacted the Somerville Police Department to review the accident history at this location.  It was determined that the intersection is appropriately posted in terms of pedestrian and vehicular safety measures and has a low accident history.

 

However, T&P will repaint the crosswalk and bike sharrows in order to increase their prominence for pedestrian and vehicular traffic.

 

Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of further assistance (mdias@somervillema.gov).
