Please add a crosswalk on the east side of Kinross/Wallingford so people can cross Comm Ave safely

Sidewalks should be extended into roadway to keep lanes at consistent width and create smaller turning radii. Pedestrians would benefit from smaller crossing distances.

This intersection is difficult for vehicles to see and navigate. The right of way is unclear.

Add 1-2 crosswalks along this section of Washington Street. Walkability dictates that crosswalks should be placed about every 250ft.

Very difficult to turn left from Washington to Market (towards Storrow drive). Please add green arrow.

It is very scary to cross from Faneuil to Kiki`s Kwik-Mart, especially during rush hours: its hard to see drivers approaching from Oak square, also due to them being very fast. Maybe more stop signs in this area would help?

A crosswalk **SHOULD** be installed on the corner of Oak Square Ave and Washington Street as the others are too far away.

A crosswalk **SHOULD** be installed on this side of the YMCA, as many people illegally cross here to go to Dunkin Donuts often. The closest crosswalks are too far away.

This crosswalk is located in a very dangerous intersection where cars speed from all directions and do not often stop for pedestrians. 4-way stop signs should be installed for everyone's safety.

It is very busy street and we residents often struggle with parking. "Residents only" parking is needed! NOT ONLY on Upcrest street!!!

Please add timetables to the T stops. It makes it easier to plan one's commute and facilitate the creation of mobile applications that currently rely on estimations. Additionally, it helps adjustments on the T schedule and reliability metrics.

Brooks Street is very popular route for cyclists to access the Charles River bike path, but it is very narrow and dangerous for cyclists. Removing one side of parking and adding bike lanes in both directions would make a huge difference!

Tour busses often block the bike lane in front of Paradise Rock Club and there is no convenient location to safely merge into traffic around them during evening rush hour.

Ongoing construction makes this difficult, but the bike lane is often blocked by debris or closed without enough notice in advance for cyclists to safely merge into traffic at a convenient location.

Very poor visibility for cars to see pedestrians. We need a stop sign on Brooks St at the intersection of Bigelow St.

We need a 4 way stop at the intersection of Faneuil and Brooks St. This crossing is very unsafe.

There is no walk signal for crossing Wallingford Rd at this intersection. This makes it difficult to tell when to cross.

Need to have 4 way stop sign! Need to slow down rude drivers on both Faneuil and Brooks

Improve station to make riders pay prior to boarding the train. This is a busy station, which during rush hour it will reduce boarding time and fare evasion.
(the T already opens all doors here, so there seems to be a lot of fare evasion)Liked 6 times -
The T should have priority in this intersection

The T should have priority in this intersection. A train carrying 500 people should not have to wait for minutes to yield for a few cars carrying one person each.

I'd suggest consolidating Chiswick and Sutherland Rd T stations, making room for a more spacious station where passengers would pay prior to entering the train, reducing the boarding time and reducing fare evasion. The extra space can be taken by eliminating space from the service road.

Cars making a u-turn here during rush hour very often block traffic on Comm Ave and sometimes block the T too, adding commuting time to hundreds of people. I'd suggest limiting u-turns during rush hour.

Please enforce traffic blocking the intersection during rush hours

The turning right sign is very confusing for drivers that are not used to this intersection. There are two "turn right" arrows specifically for people that want to turn onto Essex and Mounfort streets. Very often, drivers misunderstand one of the lanes with the longer circle to take BU bridge. I'd suggest making that more clear by adding a sign for all four lanes (the rightmost two to strictly turn right, the leftmost two to go straight or take BU brigde).
