Poll Results: Melrose Doesn't Support Support Making Upper Ravine Road One Way

Last Wednesday, Melrose Patch

Between then and Tuesday at noon, 155 people had voted in the poll. 

The results? 

• 128 people (82 percent) said, "No: All this will do is make the already horrendous traffic situation at West Wyoming Avenue and Pond Street that much worse." 

• 22 people (14 percent) said, "Yes: There are serious traffic issues in the area and they need to find a way to address that without exacerbating traffic on other nearby residential roads." 

• And five people (3 percent) said they had a different opinon. 

 suggested that the DCR construct a rotary at that intersection instead of making Ravine Road a one-way street. 

"There seems to be enough space, and rotaries are the best way to direct traffic in a civilized manner," she wrote in the comments section. "This intersection can be like feeding time in a lions' cage sometimes. I do think Ravine Road is needed to help alleviate traffic at W. Wyoming and Pond, especially during rush hour."
