Dear Billy T and Somerville Speakup Line,
Broadway’s new traffic design is a complete disaster. Just wait till the snow falls. this is the biggest mistake the city has ever made. Who thinks this crap up.
Yesterday I turned left off of McGrath Hwy. on to Broadway at 4:30pm. Nine minutes to get to the top of Winter Hill. The idiotic Bus/Bike Lane was empty the whole time. Not one bike or bus. Please vote these people out. Put anyone else in there.
I think that everyone that is outraged at this fiasco should show up on Broadway some afternoon to show their displeasure. If you drive a car they turn you into the enemy. they are going to need a lot of black paint to reverse this mess.
Bill
Kick-out curbs: How many wine spritzers did it take to come up with those disasters?
Straight lines save lives. They have caused accidents; looks pretty on paper, dysfunctional in real life.
What use to take 20 min to get to work is now an hour. Can’t drive in Somerville anywhere without traffic. Whoever thought of this should be fired fed up.
