Where is this?
At the intersection of Albemarle and Crafts, which Mass DOT identified as a “high-crash” zone, and for which lengthy recommendations have been developed. A petition is actively collecting signatures to urge Newton to take the next step and implement the report action steps – please sign.
What happened?
Seems as though a speeding car flattened a bus stop sign on Thursday, December 8.
Was anyone hurt?
Unclear, but we haven’t heard of any pedestrians being injured by this one, which is amazing. This is a heavily used sidewalk within sight of the city’s largest middle school (with 1,000 children and almost 200 teachers and staff).
If we don’t manage the traffic situation, we cannot count on this area as a safe place to walk, bike, jog, roll or just get to school.
Is all of that broken fencing and the traffic cone debris also from this accident?
Nope – that’s from the speeding car that crashed into the brook a few weeks ago, on November 18 (also during a high-use time). Just…keeps…happening!
