West Newton

I attended a presentation this evening on some modernization being planned for the roads through West Newton Square. The most surprising finding they presented is that reducing the number of through travel lanes from 2 to 1 throughout would have little to no impact on traffic, leaving a ton of extra room for bike lanes, wider sidewalks, and more parking. But for me, the most highly anticipated change is fixing the intersection pictured here. I’m including a Google Maps screenshot of the current conditions for your reference (FB folks, click through for whichever did not get shown with my post).
