What do you think about the experiment of making Ravine Road one-way from Fellsway East to Woodland Road?
The state Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) is moving forward with plans to make the upper section of Ravine Road from Fellsway East to Woodland Road a one-way state-controlled street for a six-month trial period. The issue of drivers using Ravine Road as a cut-through has been a source of contention between Melrose and Stoneham officials for years. The lower half of which, between Fellsway East and West Wyoming Avenue, is half in Melrose and half in Stoneham. In 2008, Stoneham put up two 'Do Not Enter' signs on the road and placed barricades in the roadway that prevented traffic from turning onto the road from Fellsway East. Melrose filed a legal injunction against Stoneham, which took the barriers and signs down with the …

Starting Saturday, May 5, the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) will make the upper section of Ravine Road from Woodland Road to Fellsway East a one-way state-controlled street for a six-month trial period. The plan was originally announced in November last year. At a recent Stoneham Board of Selectmen session, Town Administrator David Ragucci said he met with DCR about Ravine Road and the change will run for the next six months and "we'll assess after that." "The six-month trial does not include any roadway changes to lower Ravine Road (Fellsway East to W. Wyoming Ave.)," reads the press statement. "During this trial period, traffic from Woodland Road will be forced to used Pond Street to reach the Fellsway. "…

Stoneham Town Administrator David Ragucci informed residents of the change at a meeting on Tuesday night.
Ravine Road will become a one-way from its intersection with the Fellsway East to Woodland Road for at least a trial period of about six months and maybe permanently, according to Stoneham Town Administrator David Ragucci. Ragucci told Stoneham and neighboring Melrose residents that the trial period will go into effect in the next two to three weeks and last until spring, when the issue will be revisited. “If it doesn’t work, we’ll come back to the drawing board,” he said at Tuesday night’s informational meeting at Stoneham Town Hall. The change is meant to increase safety at the notoriously-dangerous intersection of Ravine Road and the Fellsway East, especially during rush hour, by preventing vehicles from exiting Ravine Road onto the …
