311 complaint of the day: Traffic nightmare in front of Faulkner Hospital

By adamg on Fri, 10/04/2024 - 9:16am

An annoyed resident files a 311 complaint about the roadwork at Centre and Allandale streets, which aside from being a key chokepoint during the commute, leads to the Faulkner's main entrance:

National grid work @ Centre & Allandale is out of control and is causing ambulances to come racing the wrong way up Louders Ln to get to the hospital. There has to be a better way to mange this work. It has been like this for days and is blocking the only approach to Faulkner Hospital from all directions.

Because it means crossing the delightful Arboretum.
Only part that sucks is crossing that busy street in front and then weaving through the angry drivers lined up at the entrance.
It’s almost as bad as at MGH. But that’s also a pleasant climb up and down Beacon Hill till you get to Cambridge St.
Ambulances have a difficult time getting to any emergency room no matter where in Boston. That’s not a good thing.
