On Tuesday, April 11^th at 5:00pm, the Medford Traffic Commission held its monthly meeting by Zoom. The agenda includes discussion of proposed bike lanes, bus stop pullouts, pedestrian safety enhancements, traffic calming and some on-street parking removal on Winthrop Street between Victory Park and South Street. City of Medford staff are prioritizing rapid implementation of bike lanes throughout the city on streets where on-street parking is underutilized. These facilities will also produce a traffic calming effect by slightly narrowing the motor vehicle lanes, improving safety for all road users. These improvements demonstrate the City’s commitment to Complete Streets in all practices.
