Description
The intersection of Mass Ave and Alewife Brook Parkway needs serious help. The problem is that the traffic coming from Arlington on Mass Ave is using 2 lanes, but then crossing the intersection into Cambridge they have to go down to 1 lane because of the bus lane that has been installed. People are therefore constantly gridlocking the intersection so that those turning onto Alewife Brook Parkway to go to Route 2 cannot make the turn. The bus lane has caused more traffic issues than I can count, but this is a particularly egregious one since there is no coordination with Arlington. It's like you have a road all of a sudden hits a brick wall when it enters another town.
