Description

Too much heavy traffic on the residential portion of Gore Street, including unauthorized truck traffic cutting through the neighborhood. Heavy through traffic should be routed to Cambridge St and the O'Brien Highway. The traffic volumes disrupt quality of life, generate excessive noise inside residences, and make the neighborhood feel less walkable and inviting to pedestrians, weakening bonds between neighbors.

I suggest implementing a restricted turn from Third St to Gore St such as "no turn during rush hour" or residents-only access. Alternatively Gore St could be made one-way to reduce traffic volumes and better accommodate vehicles on a street that is too narrow to properly serve two-way traffic.
