Two more notes re: Chandler St. (I live at the upper end, near the Cumby's in Tatnuck Square): cars, ebikes, and motorcycles FLY down Chandler, coming out of the intersection at Chandler and Mill and all the way to the June St. intersection. I hear vehicles screaming down the street at high speeds, especially at night. Many of us have been asking for some kind of enforcement or traffic calming for years. Nothing. Maybe we should tell the city we're going to stick a bike lane in the road...
At the S curve on Chandler (just past Hunthurst Circle coming up from Worc. State to Tatnuck Sq), the guardrails are bent because cars hit them regularly. Several years ago, a guy was killed when his car swerved off the road (speeding) and hit the side of a house. Guy walked way from the crash, died hours later of internal injuries. Neighbors had to fight like hell to get additional guardrails installed. Another house has had their landscaping ripped out repeatedly by cars swerving off the road at the curve--young drivers speeding and losing control.
Also, as a daily walker throughout the area, I cross those streets every single day. Cars get wide berth. I'm lucky to be in good shape and still able to get across quickly but it still feels like a real-life Frogger game many days.

I'm an amateur contributor! This should be the next merch theme. I'd wear that shit proudly.
