#massdcr — Public Fediverse posts

Now that I've slept on it and looked back at the slides, I see the problem. MassDOT considered fewer lanes (1st pic, items 7, 12) but they list an unbreakable constraint "Equal or better intersection Level of Service" (2nd pic).

The overpass is overbuilt today. If you require it to fit as many cars, of course you'll get a highway off ramp again!

Multiple cars crashed on Memorial Drive in #CambridgeMA, in the same spot where John Corcoran was killed two months ago. Cambridge is currently doing construction there to try to make the area safer. Today's crash was serious, involving a rollover and multiple injuries.

Here are the slides from today's public meeting about #MemorialDrive, with a list of short-term improvements they're planning to make to the dangerous rotary. They were also collecting input on what people would want out of a long-term solution.

We've updated our story on Monday's motor vehicle homicide on #MassDCR's Memorial Drive with an eyewitness account alleging that the victim was on the Paul Dudley White path when their killer veered off the roadway and hit them head-on:

Massachusetts DCR continues to prove it's really the Department of Cars and Roads by ignoring Cambridge public opinion and closing Riverbend Park on Saturdays #mapoli #massdcr #cambridgema https://mass.streetsblog.org/2024/03/27/healey-administration-will-continue-to-reduce-riverbend-park-access-in-favor-of-motor-vehicle-traffic-in-2024

My comment to #MassDCR on its 75% design for #LeoBirminghamParkway, #Boston. DCR didn’t justify maintaining vehicle access, based on traffic counts AFAIK. DCR can still salvage the situation with a low cost design tweak to enable it to become a periodic #OpenStreet for festivals, open markets,…

there should be zero opportunity for Rte28 vehicle traffic to second guess when or where they stop for cyclists and pedestrians crossing the Longfellow bridge

Several hundred people came to support Riverbend Park on a pretty crap day. Not the DCR though #cambridgema #riverbendpark #mapoli #massdcr
