The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
Close this area that allows drivers on Linden and Reedsdale Street to cross over the green line tracks.
Who it helps and why
The green line often gets stuck here for a minute pausing for cars trying to speed through, right before/after the usually lengthy stop at Harvard Ave. Pedestrians crossing on the northern side of Comm Ave also have to look in a million directions before they cross since cars could be coming from any angle. The current situation prioritizes the convenience of drivers cutting through over safety and transit reliability.
