many cyclists use Brooks Street to access the Charles River path, but when we get to the end of Brooks, it's confusing to know what we're supposed to do... come to an abrupt stop while cars are whizzing by, turning right, then use the crosswalk to cross Brooks street, then access the path? Just making it clearer what people should do here would be great.

57 is always full during rush hour by the time it gets to this stop. Really stinks during the winter when 2-3 full buses have to pass you!

Live on the corner of this street and I have seen more car accidents than anywhere else I've lived. Mostly people speeding down Market Street or who come up the hill from Arlington St and try to make it through the red.

I used to cross this street every morning walking to work and cars would always go right on red and almost hit me, even though I waited for the walk sign, especially if they were turning from Washington St taking a right onto Cambridge St.

Waverly St. is a MAJOR cut-through for traffic. Not sure what the plan is, once the apartment building opens on the corner of Western Ave.

Lincoln street needs a real bike lane and speed bumps to keep the speeds down.

Issues with people speeding up the hill from Washington St. Cars park near the corner entrance of Providence House which creates visibility issues.

Not sure what can be done. People speed up and down this street. The parking and low visibility of cars coming up Corey from Washington can lead to an accident or pedestrian being hit. It's an issue if you are exiting the Providence House.

Designate this portion of Washington into a senior safety. There are over 100 units of senior housing and assisted living. Plus, the proximity to transit and retail provide destinations for seniors. A short of portion of this street is a school zone

protected bike lane on Market Street/Leo M Birmingham Parkway please, from Brighton Center to Western Ave. This is a major route.

We need a crosswalk on Faneuil Street crossing Parsons! Maybe a stop sign for people driving, too.

This signal needs dedicated left turn phasing from North Beacon onto Market. It would make traffic flow better, it would make things safer for cyclists trying to turn left.

When the pedestrian walk sign is on, crossing Market Street, the vehicles exiting Guest Street turning left onto Market have a green light, placing vehicles and pedestrians in direct conflict. This needs to change. Close to no one drives straight; it's effectively a left turn only (people don't wait for the light to turn green to turn right).

The large numbers of construction vehicles traveling down Washington St. has created many potholes - this is dangerous because the street is used regularly by hospital ambulances headed to the Emergency Room. Washington Street is in desperate need for repaving.

Please paint lines on corey/Brainerd Rd. (I have a sneaky suspicion they aren't painted because the lanes would be too small :) )

More green space. More families are moving into the neighborhood and a new park would be a great asset.

Turning left here is hard. make it easier with a intersection box, or even make it illegal to remove the dangerous attempt?

Request a crosswalk and stop sign here to provide a safe crossing for the large number of neighborhood children who use Joyce Playground. There have been numerous close-calls and we should preemptively avoid a tragic accident.

This intersection is poorly designed, resulting in unpredictable conflicts and an unnecessarily long ped crossing. Reconfiguring would allow addition of green space or other amenities.

Alighting outbound T passengers who want to travel west from the platform must head as much as 200' in the wrong direction to get to a crosswalk. Signal timings/traffic patterns result in relatively few safe gaps for jaywalking. A crosswalk at the western end of the platform would provide a legal path along a common desire line.

Whenever it's raining there are puddles here, if you're waiting to cross Comm from the BU West station to the N side crosswalk, the cars splash you with muddy water :(
