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.

Please address your request to trafficengineering@cambridgema.gov and I will investigate for you. One-way changes and/or turn restrictions for a single street can affect many others, so we will include East Cambridge residents in the process.

In respect to this issue, I would like to see consideration for a raise intersection on Sciarappa and Gore St.
Part of the appeal of Gore is that it's often a quick cut through either to 3rd or Union Sq, or as a cross over to McGrath from Cambridge. A raised intersection at Sciarappa forcing vehicles to slow down, could help manage safety as well as mitigate some traffic on Gore.
