Traffic Counters Up

Chelsea, Massachusetts

Several City video traffic counting machines have been spotted in the area of East Berkeley Street and Harrison Avenue and Washington Street.

The area has been the target of major complaints about traffic from Old Dover Neighborhood Association, and it is also the site for a pilot program to bring in a completely redesigned streetscape that is to be bid out this month by the Boston Transportation Department.

A long-awaited traffic study for the area appears to be getting underway, as evidenced by the presence of these counters. For quite some time, such a study has been sought after in this region.
