Porter Square Intersection Improvements Meeting Notes
A general sense of frustration and impatience persisted, but no one argued that these changes were bad, just not far-reaching enough.
The City officials took us through the revised changes, which can be seen in the above presentation, taking a few questions throughout, but most afterwards.
The room, 2-150, was pretty full, and seemed to be mostly Cambridge residents, and bike folks. Based on comments, only a couple of Somerville residents present.
