Mass. Ave. Intersection Repaved, No Lane Markings
Written by Boston Biker on Aug 30The Mass. Ave. intersection at the base of the Mass. Ave. Bridge has been repaved, and all the street markings are gone. This, as you may recall, is the scene of the recent hit and run that killed Anita Kurmann. The driver of that truck has of yet not been charged with anything.
Two thoughts immediately came to mind. Is this going to affect any investigation into her death? And two, is this in direct response to the crash?
As of now there are no lane markings, making what was already a very dangerous intersection, more so. Be careful out there.
