Traffic Sign Complaint ArchivedHomer Ave & Mount Auburn St Cambridge, MA, 02138, USA - West Cambridge
As the traffic patterns have changed on Mt. Auburn, I'm noticing more backups on Homer Ave trying to turn onto Mt. Auburn - I've been waiting for multiple light cycles far more than before.
I suspect the new "no right on red" sign facing Homer is part of the issue. Could that be removed (as it was before), or instead add a right turn signal (or a switchable "no turn on red") so that cars turning Right onto Mt Auburn could do so while traffic from Mt. Auburn is turning left onto Homer?

Bus lane violations (afternoon rush hour) AcknowledgedMassachusetts Ave & Tyler Ct Cambridge, MA, 02140, USA - North CambridgeI saw countless cars and trucks using the bus lane outbound in the afternoon rush hour. We have a number of open tickets about bus lane violations in the morning hours - including open ones from a year ago, like 14309563. But it's still a problem, and it's a problem outbound in the afternoon, also. I imagine a little bit of enforcement will go a long way.

Sidewalk Defect Archived2-34 Holworthy St Cambridge, MA, 02138, USA - Cambridge
Would the city make a curb cut for the new access ramp from Holworthy St. to the Greenway? Otherwise, cyclists will need to either hop the curb or ride on the sidewalk.
This is a refiling of issue 11453247, which was supposed to have been addressed as part of the Belmont St project. What's the updated timeline?

145 Broadway Cambridge, MA, 02142, USA - East CambridgeThe sidewalk along Broadway is too narrow to be passable for those using wheeled accessibility aids. I hate to think how this is going to be with snow covering it on Friday. Some buildings, including 145 Broadway, 105 Broadway, and the garage between them, don't have another obvious accessible route.

Traffic Sign Complaint Archived66 Homer Avenue Cambridge, MA, 02138, USA - West CambridgeI'm guessing this sign - on a public pole - was posted by The Hamilton Company, the landlords at 66 Homer Ave. - the property at the end of this dead-end street. In addition to being an unauthorized sign, it highlights that the only viable turn-around options on Homer are private driveways. Perhaps the city can work out an accommodation with the Hamilton Company? Otherwise, we might need to reengineer the street to better allow to turn-arounds.

Construction Complaint Archived1-99 Holworthy Pl Cambridge, MA, 02138, USA - CambridgeThe steam roller being used on the bike path is shaking houses over on Homer Ave (and presumably all along Holworthy). Every day this week, I feel like there's an earthquake happening. I'm looking forward to the bike path, but is there a less shaky way to finish the project?
