Tunnel Boulevard perhaps was to have more turn lanes. However, as I read on, fear struck my heart. One of the plans under consideration was to have a painted median, or a center turning lane, such as Martin Luther King Boulevard and Grand Caillou Road have. I also know of two other accidents on MLK involving friends of mine. It is in truth a bad setup.
Cars face each other head-on, and one has to back up, or they simply crash.
There are too many ways to turn for one median to serve cars going in both directions. Grand Caillou Road s center lane has been around longer, but that does not prevent accidents from happening. I was driving along there just last Thursday afternoon and witnessed two accidents in the same block. Painted medians do not seem to be the answer. It might be a good idea to hold on to the cement and grass median on Tunnel Boulevard.
