Intersection between Chestnut Hill Ave, South St, and Kirkwood Rd is dangerous to drivers and pedestrians. Parking on the South/West-bound side of Chestnut Hill Ave extends so far up the block that the intersection becomes blind for those coming up Kirkwood. At least one parking space should be removed to allow for better visibility.

Need a crosswalk here to connect to the pedestrian entrance to the wooded area. Pedestrians do not walk to the end of the block and end up running across 4 lanes of road traffic and possibly a trolley on Chestnut Hill ave.

Sidewalks need to be installed here. They turn to asphalt and then kind of just fade away

Sidewalks are too narrow, approximately 1 foot wide here

I would like the city to paint a diagonal crosswalk here because this is an "all way" crosswalk and sometimes pedestrians do not know that. Also, it looks very cool and increases Brighton Center's trendiness!

Academy Hill Road should be one way. There is parking on one side and there is no room for two cars to pass each other, especially in the winter. It is like a mad dash to get to Chestnut Hill Ave before another car approaches from the other direction. The intersection at Chestnut Hill Ave is also dangerous. Cars leave Chestnut Hill Ave onto Academy Hill road and there is no space if there is a car waiting to get into traffic from Academy Hill road.

Create a crosswalk for pedestrians!

This park is almost constantly flodded/muddy. I love the large green space so close to the residential areas, but it has become unusable the last few years due to the standing water in the middle of the fields and the enterance.

Turning left from underneath the brigde, merging with cars traveling west along the Leo M Birmingham Parkway is perilous during heavy traffic flow. At night there are very few cars traveling east along the parkway so crossing two lanes of traffic is fine. During the morning and evening commute, it is very dangerous.

Cars going down Faneuil way too fast, sped limits needs to be enforced and stop signs needs to be added to slow down racing cars!

Need flashing cross walk warning lights for motor vehicles. My fiancé was hit by a car and severely injured on this crosswalk because vehicles do not yield to pedestrians.

Need a cross walk from Melvin to the Washington street T stop

Washington street T stop needs improvements to allow for increased commuters in recent years as well as projected increase in new residents in coming years. Consider additional standing room for commuters and access to the T stop from Melvin Ave area.

Prioritize and move forward the dedicated bus lane for Brighton Ave (between Union Square and Packards Crossing).

Greater enforcement is needed for the flashing crosswalk at Cambridge Street and Hano Street - cars ignore the flashing lights to allow pedestrians to cross. The flashing crosswalk was installed after the tragic death of a 12 year old being struck while crossing the street. It's only a matter of time before another fatality occurs.

Add speed humps around park because kids are running across the street a lot, it's a heavily used park.

This is not a throughway but cars try to come through and bikes and peds walk through. Need 'Dead End' or 'No Through Way' signage.
