Description

Hi there, my name is Tim Riley and I am a resident at Modera Lofts, 350 Warren Street, with my wife and newborn son.

Since we moved in 2020, we have always thought of the intersection of Warren and Morgan as quite dangerous.

It would be great if there was more protection for pedestrians. There are numerous families and young children in the neighborhood. It is a highly used intersection between the apartment buildings (Modera Lofts, The Lively, and The Morgan) and neighborhood family activities/ businesses (Nimbus Dance, etc) all use this specific intersection.

- Warren Street cross walks are not straight and people frequently cut across the intersection on a diagonal to get from the Southwest corner to the Northeast corner.
- Vehicles driving South on Warren can’t always see the Stop sign. We have had numerous vehicles blow past the Stop sign all together, while we’ve been in the crosswalk, preparing to walk.
- Between Christopher Columbus and Second, the Morgan Street intersection is the only North/South Stop sign, so drivers aren’t prepared, causing them to blow through the intersection.
- Cars from all directions frequently do “quick stops” and don’t fully check their surroundings. We have been in the crosswalk, preparing to walk, and have had this happen.
- Drivers are potentially using Warren as a “short cut” to get to the tunnel, which would bypass the traffic/ congestion on Martin, between Christopher Columbus and Second. This is causing increased traffic on Warren, especially during rush hours.

Ideally a traffic light would be the only way to ensure pedestrians are protected and vehicles are making full, complete stops.

I have included my contact info - email is best for any follow up comments/ questions!
