I did not vote because to me all of the suggestions deserve to have some attention paid to them. Since Stoughton instituted the "no left turn" rule at so many places in Stoughton Square many years ago (with minimal signage to offer alternatives - try explaining to someone coming in to Stoughton on Rte 139 how to get to somewhere on Park St) the traffic on many of the smaller roads/intersections … more ›

I agree. In addition to more traffic and York/Pine becoming a cut through, the intersection got worse because when they altered the plan and put the sidewalk on the north side of York St instead of the south side where it was originally intended, they also narrowed the road and removed room for traffic to form two lanes out onto Route 138. Now, if someone is stuck and can't make a left turn due … more ›
