Description

Unfortunately this intersection was recently reconstructed to update the bus stop, but did nothing to improve walk-ability or traffic flow. If anything it made the situation worse. This is a dangerous, congested, ill conceived, unnecessarily large intersection that is unfriendly to walkers an cyclists. The median for the bus puts pedestrians in the middle of a busy sometimes congested intersection. The design of this intersection creates congestion on lawn crest. Ideally the end of Lawn Crest and the west side of the intersection would be converted to community to community Green space to reduce congestion and provide traffic calming. Traffic would then be diverted to the intersection of Ramsdell and Fairfield which is better designed. At a minimum the 50' section of Lawncrest that intersects with Fountain should be blocked off , bringing Lawncrest to a right angle stop with Ramsdell (making Ramsdell a 2-way street at Fountain).
