A Traffic Problem

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

We are writing to publicize a matter which deserves serious consideration and action on the part of the Cambridge police department. Perhaps you can help enlist the support of public opinion.

The matter is the clearly unsatisfactory traffic control at the intersection of Cambridge, Kirkland and Broadway streets (in front of Littauer and Phillips Brooks House). With crowded traffic, crossing that intersection is indeed a terrifying and dangerous experience. While a policeman is stationed there sometimes, he is absent at other times when he is really needed. Perhaps the answer is a pedestrian push-button traffic light or perhaps longer hours for the policeman.

As graduate students, we find our existence sufficiently precarious without the added difficulties of defying determined auto drivers. Harold Hodder 1G   Jacques Barclellor 1G
