Map

Description / Need

There are very few pedestrian crossings of Watertown St. Eddy/Eliot is a good intersection because it is one of the through streets across Watertown St (though Eddy and Eliot are not quite aligned). There is a perpendicular ramp on the north side of Watertown St. that would connect to an apex ramp on the south side.

A crosswalk at this location would also make the intersection more visible to drivers on Watertown, since it doesn’t read like a typical cross street.
