To the Honorable Board:
• B.O.A. #192236…That the Director of Traffic and Parking inform this Board of the feasibility of painting a Stop Line at the intersection of Park and College Ave.
The installation of Stop Signs and Stop Lines is governed by the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). The MUTCD is a federal, state and city standard. Per the MUTCD, neither stop signs nor stop lines can be installed on the major street at an intersection. In this case, the major street is College Ave. Park Ave is the minor street. Currently, this intersection has the proper and appropriate pavement markings per the MUTCD. Therefore, a stop line cannot be installed on College Ave per the MUTCD.
• B.O.A. #192237…That the Commissioner of Public Works and the Director of Traffic and Parking coordinate with the organizers of Midnight Madness in Davis Square to resolve any parking or traffic issues in advance.
The Director of Traffic and Parking will coordinate in advance with both the DPW Commissioner and the organizers of Midnight Madness to resolve any parking or traffic issues associated with this activity.
• B.O.A. #192281…That the Director of Traffic and Parking and the city’s Traffic Engineer appear before this Board’s Committee on Senior Services to address pedestrian safety concerns in Union Square.
The Director of Traffic and Parking and the City’s Traffic Engineer will appear before the Board’s Committee on Senior Services at the Board’s convenience.
