[SBC] Somerville Ave at Beacon St

[Brian Postlewaite]

Committee,

Charlie, I like your sketch. Definitely the preferred solution. In
general, your center lines are in similar locations to what will be
built, so traffic lights should still work fine, just a change of the
timing & order.

I attached the scheme that I was suggesting on Tuesday. Note, I
suggest this because I think it is the degree of change that MHD might
be willing to make to the actual constructed project.

Please comment. I didn't continue the design down to Oxford, but I
prefer Charlie's version, and it would work with the sketch I
attached.
