City of Cambridge O-5 ORIGINAL ORDER IN CITY COUNCIL February 6, 2017 MAYOR SIMMONS WHEREAS: It has come to the attention of the City Council that in recent months, several car accidents have taken place on Windsor Street between Cambridge Street and Webster Avenue; and WHEREAS: This area is a narrow, heavily congested triangle in which multiple vehicles are routinely parked and commercial traffic often congests the streets, and residents have raised concerns that many of the accidents that have occurred might well have been avoided if this narrow road only allowed for traffic to flow in one direction; now therefore be it ORDERED: That the City Manager be and hereby is requested to consult with the Director of the Traffic, Parking and Transportation Department to explore whether designating the portion of Windsor Street between Cambridge Street and Webster Avenue as “one way” would decrease the opportunities for future accidents in this area, and to report back to the City Council in a timely manner.
