Yesterday morning a high-speed crash sent a car flying into Cheesecake Brook at the corner of Albemarle and Crafts streets.
This is the same intersection defined as a “high-crash cluster” by Mass DOT. This immediately follows our Fall Newsletter last week about Mass DOT’s proposed improvements to the area.
We now have added a petition to expedite change using all available resources. Please sign it and share it.
Reminder: 1,000 children attend FA Day Middle, Newton’s largest middle school, which sits on Albemarle. And soon, the NECP preschool will come to Albemarle. Think of all the people who want to use this area safely, and then look at what happened at 6:40am on a busy weekday morning:
Here are some other pictures taken by neighbors of multiple high-speed crashes on California and Watertown streets in the past weeks, all part of the Albemarle corridor. The smaller pictures all depict 3 consecutive crashes at the corner of Eliot and Eddy streets on Watertown, which is uniquely vulnerable as a cut-through cross street with no signalized light.
This is very preventable. Please sign the petition today.
Friends of Albemarle
