Official Text

That the Commissioner of Public Works re-evaluate the rush hour traffic light timing at the Magoun Square intersection of Broadway, Medford Street and Dexter Street, and consider the concern of many Somerville residents that the amount of time for vehicles on Medford Street to pass through the light is much too short, causing severe traffic congestion and long lines of traffic backed up Medford Street through Magoun Square.
