    Add a 2nd exclusive walk phase. You can add a 2nd exclusive walk phase to the signal timing plan without any negative effects to vehicles. Currently, when a pedestrian pushes the walk button they have to wait up to an entire cycle for a walk signal (it only displays after MA-28 has had it's green and before MA-129 gets a green), however if you put in a second one in between MA-129 and MA-28 phase changes, pedestrians will only have to wait half of the time to get a walk signal. You can also program it so that if a walk phase has occurred in the signal cycle, it will wait at least a full cycle to reappear (called LOCKOUT), if it is pressed twice, which eliminates the issue of having 2 walk phases in the same cycle. Since the walk phase only displays if the button is pressed, this gives pedestrians half of the waiting time for a walk phase and doesn't reduce operations for vehicles. This can be done along the entire MA-28 corridor signals.

    Thanks!

    Would like to see a flashing pedestrian crossing signal at the crosswalk next to this location. Too many people speed on Main St and refuse to stop when pedestrians are crossing.

    Please consider putting a mirror or something to assist people exiting Mark Ave onto Grove or Criterion on to Grove. It is so difficult seeing what cars are coming at you with that turn. Many of my neighbors along with myself have had some close calls of almost getting hit, because you cannot tell if cars are coming. Thank you for your help!

    These cones and signs have been left here for weeks since the Franklin St paving project. They need to be picked up. The tall weeds that are now growing around this signage cut also need to be cut.

  • Bancroft Ave & Middlesex Ave Town of Reading, MA, 01867, USA - Reading
    When heading south on Bancroft, it is almost impossible to see traffic on Middlesex because residential fences obscure the view. You have to pull into the intersection (unsafe) to see if any cars are coming. Can we put in a 4 way stop to reduce risk / increase safety?
