Cork Street safety improvements

Parents say kids crossing Howard Street near Maple Street Magnet School face four lanes of fast traffic in the dark. The redesigned crossing moves away from Merrill Street, and residents worry children will keep crossing at the old spot out of habit. The commission held off voting so staff can engage the neighborhood and return by March 16.
