Traffic/Pedestrian Signal Complaint ArchivedCambridgepark Dr North Cambridge, MA 02140, USA - North Cambridge
I timed my legal, with the signals traversal of this intersection passing from CPD (right hand side, only side with a sidewalk right now) to the T. It took 2 minutes and 25 seconds. I also came into conflict with several cars during this time - while the light for peds is white going over CPD, it's entirely blocked by cars turning left from Steel Place. One nearly hit me in the crosswalk.
It's clear that crossing against the signals is both faster and safer. No wonder everyone jaywalks here. I still don't know, despite asking several times, whether the City, DCR, MBTA, or some other entity is responsible for signalling at this intersection, but this is a complete abdication of the responsibility to provide safe pedestrian infrastructure.

Bike Lane Obstruction Archived125 Cambridge Park Dr Cambridge, Massachusetts - North Cambridge
Another day, another delivery vehicle parked in the bike lane. One almost hit me yesterday morning while it was backing out of a protected area of the bike lane, where the driver had pulled in between the parked cars and the curb.
Please add flex posts to prevent drivers from doing this.

244 Huron Ave Cambridge, Massachusetts - West CambridgeThere's a lot of large snow piles filling the parking along Huron. Rather than shovel them out and park next to the curb, many drivers are just parking blocking the bike lane. This problem at least all the way between Lakeview and Sparks, on both sides of the street, but I assume it's wider spread than that. Some increased enforcement of parking regulations (less than a foot from the curb) seems necessary to make it clear to drivers that blocking the buffered bike lane isn't okay to do just because there's snow.

Traffic Sign Complaint Archived31 Donnell St Cambridge, Massachusetts - Neighborhood 9The sign at the corner of Garden and Donnell is down, and has been for a few weeks now. The sign at the corner of RC Kelley and Donnell is also missing, and has been for a few years now. There has been a lot of wrong-way traffic turning right from RC Kelley recently. Please replace both signs.

Snow plowed into bike lane Archived125 Cambridge Park Dr Cambridge, Massachusetts - North CambridgeAs is usually the case on this road, the bike lane here has had more snow plowed into it than out of it. It's entirely unusable - worse than unusable in spots since in a couple of places the entrance to a section is open but the exit is blocked.

Icy or Snowy Bike Lane Archived125 Cambridge Park Dr Cambridge, Massachusetts - North CambridgeThe bike lane here is full of large piles of snow. For some reason the previous issue about this (https://seeclickfix.com/issues/4003701) was closed, but the lane is still completely unusable.

Icy or Unshoveled Sidewalk ArchivedAlewife Brook Parkway And Rindge Ave Cambridge, Massachusetts - North Cambridge
The curb cut for the crosswalk here is completely covered, moving quickly towards being solid ice. Anyone with mobility issues is going to be SOL. Given that this is the way to reach the surrounding neighborhood from the T stop, this seems like an important one to clear.
It's not clear who is responsible for this snow clearance. Is it DCR?

Icy or Unshoveled Sidewalk Archived30 Cambridge Park Dr Cambridge, Massachusetts - North CambridgeThe sidewalk next to 30 CPD has an unshoveled section, just to the right of the driveway associated with 30 CPD. Looks completely untouched. Maybe there's some conflict between the owners of this building and Vecna over who is responsible for this section of sidewalk.

Traffic/Pedestrian Signal Complaint Archived172 Alewife Brook Parkway Cambridge, Massachusetts - North CambridgeIt's impossible to make a left here as the left turn signal uses a sensor, which does not detect bikes. As this is the only way to access Cambridgepark Dr from the east by bike after a snow (the path around the back, accessed near the swimming pool, is blocked), this is a safety hazard, as bicycles are forced to go against the signal.
