My mission is to make streets safer for bicyclists and pedestrians. To that end, I'll continue to point out dangerous intersections and things that can be done to improve them. If instead I were just to advise self-propelled people to avoid certain intersections, I'd feel like I was failing my mission.<BR/><BR/>2. Thanks for pointing out the Eliot T stop ped. bridge: that's a great route for Upper Falls. If I want to get to Winchester, Needham, or Dedham streets, I have little choice (alas!) but to use the Boylston underpass at Centre, since the Woodcliff crossing is pretty far out of the way.Steve Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11734897261007112736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446330500314261009.post-53782656665489777732008-05-02T11:35:00.000-05:002008-05-02T11:35:00.000-05:00islands and signalization would help, but this cro...islands and signalization would help, but this crossing is best avoided by pedestrians and bikes. <BR/><BR/>You can get across Rt. 9 also at the Eliot T stop bridge--it's ramped, and just a short jog on the southern sidewalk to connect to quiet Martha Street.Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08566332279151555835noreply@blogger.com
