Other - City Issues ArchivedSomerville Community Path Somerville, MA 02144, USA - SomervilleI understand this is probably something for the US Postal Service, but perhaps the city can put in an official request as well. There is a letter drop off box on Cedar Street near Clyde Street. A better location for this mailbox would be at the Community Path intersection of Cedar Street. That corner surely has more pedestrian traffic.

Traffic & Parking- Miscellaneous Archived282 Lowell Street Somerville, MA 02145, USA - SomervilleThe two speed monitors on both sides of the Lowell Street bridge have not been working much lately. I suspect the reason is because the solar panels that power the batteries are aimed north. They should be directed south, so they actually face the Sun.

36 Richardson Street Somerville, MA 02145, USA - SomervilleWhen is the construction for the newly installed accessibility ramps going to finished? At this location, the new ramp needs a crosswalk and moving the No Parking sign so that the car nearest the corner isn't blocking the ramp.

I reported this issue before, and it was closed as "that's the way it supposed to be." Now that I've done a bit more observation, I still think it should be adjusted.
During the light cycle at Ball Sq., there is a 20-second period in which the pedestrian signal at the intersection of Broadway and Willow Ave. changes to Walk in all directions (side note: the two Walk lamps for the crossing across Willow are both out; I'll report that separately). At this same time, all directions of vehicle traffic at the intersection of Broadway and Boston Ave. are stopped with red lights, and the pedestrian signals there still say Don't Walk. At this intersection, the pedestrian signal turns to Walk when Broadway traffic have green lights. It USED to be that the pedestrian signals went to Walk during that 20-second time as Willow Ave., but it doesn't now.
So, why does all traffic at Broadway/Boston have to stop when it is two blocks away from the signaled pedestrian crossing at Broadway/Willow? Cars on Boston Ave. could use that 20 seconds, especially during rush hour. Or, the pedestrian signal at Broadway/Boston could be restored to its previous cycle.

Traffic & Parking- Illegial Parking Archived28-42 Henderson Street Somerville, MA 02145, USA - SomervilleWill probably be gone by the time anything is done, however, why is the No Parking to Corner sign only 3 feet from the corner? DPW could have saved putting in a pole by putting that sign at the back pole.
