Pedestrian 'Rapid Response Flashing Beacons' Being Replaced, Added Across City

I want to send a special thanks to the City of Quincy Traffic Team for their work replacing the broken “Rapid Response Flashing Beacon” on Franklin St by Norman Rd! This summer, I was contacted by a handful of residents who pointed out that this flashing beacon was in need of repair and they suggested additional spots around town where these beacons could improve pedestrian safety.

With that in mind, I reached out to the traffic team to see what we could do. The team will be out replacing a few more of these beacons this summer and will even add net new crossing systems to increase pedestrian safety - including one by the 1000 Southern Artery Senior Center and the Presidential Estates building.
