WPD set up across from where I worked on Hamilton St. There was a family that lived there that had a son in a motorized wheelchair, and daily drop offs from the school bus were hazardous from people ignoring the crosswalk and the bus lights and sign.

From what I saw, they made sure to step out with a block to spare, not last second. So many people speed on that road, forgetting it’s 25 mph in the city, so it might seem it was “last second.”

A few times they caught multiple drivers at the same time because there are two lanes and both would blast on through. They even managed to catch someone passing a stopped school bus with lights flashing and stop sign extended while he went through the crosswalk. That guy went ballistic and was lucky he wasn’t arrested.

I’ve been hit by cars three times in my life (crosswalk violation, doored, wrong way driver). Worcester drivers are a menace.

Make the use a random number generator to control the length of light times on traffic signals

I used to work on Hamilton St, where they had much needed weekly enforcement stings. One of the officers told us the enforcement stings prompted a wave of complaints (including someone they got three times in a week!), and that’s why they stopped. We had a brief period of time where people slowed down, and then it went back to being dangerous.

I have heard a lot of great things about the Night Lights. I still need to go.

Coffee shops are no longer allowed to have drive-through.

Just went to Night Lights last night. Real eye candy but decided it would be even better with snow on the ground. I'm not complaining, it was comfortable temp wise and the lack of snow made for an easier drive. Our slot was sold out but not overly crowded, even the line for refreshments was quick. The best part was all the young parents with toddlers, for the little ones it was pure magic.

Soccer stadium off park avenue

All streets and roads are now one ways that lead you out of the city.

Declare victory with Polar Park and refuse to intervene or invest to make it either more successful or more damaging to the neighborhood. Piss off the supporters by abandoning it, piss off the detractors by abandoning the neighborhood.

Dig up a road and expose all of the manholes covers 8 inches off the ground then leave them like that for 2 months.

Build an even bigger baseball stadium to evict and oppress homeless folks even harder. Wait Worcester gov already did that.

how would we tell the difference?

i recently learned that if a raccoon drops dead on your property they won't come get it unless you shovel it onto a public way.

I had to sterilize my garden spade after rolling a 25 lb corpse 5 feet to the sidewalk. they collected it that day.

another time I reported a raccoon hit by car dying in the gutter of lake ave and the corpse was there 4 days later so idk how they operate.

They got me for that just a few years ago so they definitely still do it. The cop was “nice” and “only” gave me a $40 ticket “instead of a $250”, so maybe that’s why people don’t complain anymore

a coworker who i consider an honest guy was complaining about it. he got a ticket.

he said the cop would saunter into the road at the last second causing the driver to slam on brakes and swerve. coworker insisted he was not speeding and i believe him. the ticket was for failing to yield to pedestrian.

if that's the case they probably stopped to avoid being sued when they inevitably cause an accident.

these types of "gotcha" tactics are great for writing tickets and "raising awareness" but do absolutely nothing to improve safety and in many cases make things less safe.

put in another roundabout like say next to the old RMV and kirch liqours

Do not disclose which side. Flip a coin every morning, tow accordingly.

Also make it one way, direction chosen by the same method, but a separate flip.

aka the 70s

Winner.
