This study examined concerns of the City of Salem and citizens related to traffic congestion,
pedestrian mobility, and access to public transportation. In consultation with a study advisory
committee, the Boston Region MPO's Central Transportation Planning Staff conducted data collection,
performed analyses using a traffic simulation model, and developed short-term and long-term
improvements to address concerns in five areas: 1) Riley Plaza traffic circulation;
2) other congested intersections; 3) pedestrian circulation on Washington Street;
4) pedestrian access to the commuter rail station; and 5) pedestrian crossings at Saltonstall
School.
The short-term improvements are generally low-cost and could be implemented relatively quickly. The long-term improvements are more costly but could be implemented in three to five years. |
