Traffic Sign Complaint Archived1937 Massachusetts Ave Cambridge MA 02140, United States - North Cambridge
Everything about making Davenport 1-way from Saginaw to Mass Ave has been problematic, including the lack of any thought put into the # and location of signs As you can see from the photo, the new do not enter/one way signs are placed so they are not visible heading south or north on Mass Ave, leading to MUCH confusion by the hundreds of drivers who have been driving on Davenport for decades There was no announcement, no police presence to redirect cars, nothing but a sign on a barrel Hence the MANY cars and trucks ignoring the new restriction
I witnessed a tractor trailer trying to make a delivery at Star turn onto Davenport from Elm to try to back into the loading dock - which he eventually did but first had to drive halfway down Davenport to let cars get by the truc,kd then backup toward Elm ten make the incredibly difficult turn into the loading dock The whole thing took about 10 minutes
I spoke to the driver when he got out of the cab He said he had to make the loop from Davenport,up MA Ave, across Beech (which is posted No Trucks), doElm andand back onto Davenpor2x becauseuse cars were parked on Davenport that prevented him from backing into tbay When a car moved finally was able toh to go through the 10 minute mane, ver blocking traffic on Davenport and Elm Str ts
I give him credit for his driving ability and patience, but this is completely nuts
Making Davenport one way with no plan for how to reroute traffic - especially MANY daily the delivery tru day - is endangering public safety and just plain i nsane
One last thing - the o w NO Left Turn on n in the island on MA Ave for cars heading son h in MA Ave is plso d to it completeocks lack the flashing yellow crosswalk l at Davenport ights Not smart and not
Is anyone from the City paying attention to the ripple effect of this poorly considered change?fe

Traffic Sign Complaint Archived2-98 Allen St Cambridge, MA 02140, USA - North CambridgeThe one way sign was removed from the corner of Allen and Mass Ave during construction of the Rand building. As a result, cars have been seen driving down Allen the wrong way, and turning left in Orchard which is also one way. Please replace the one way sign on Allen as soon as possible!!! It's a safety hazard - there are a bunch of little kids on Allen and orchard, not to mention adults, animals, other cars.

Tree Planting Request Archived21 Orchard St. Cambridge, Massachusetts - North CambridgeI have 2 relatively new trees in front of my house. Both are fine, but one of the wood stakes on the cherry has come unstuck. It either needs to be removed or re-anchored into the ground. AS it is, it's a little dangerous because it can fall over.
