Life here in Union Square can be a little hectic, to say the least. The place we call home is basically the crossroads of Somerville and Cambridge. You would think this would mean that things are always moving slowly. But that's not the case....
The truth is Union Square is akin to a runway! Cars fly through this place like it's the autobahn, and have no regard for who or what is in their way.
This culminated in tragedy this past week. A 55 year-old Somerville woman was struck and nearly killed, right in the heart of the Square.
An investigation is in process, but regardless of the outcome, this incident should give us all pause. And we should demand that something be done in Union Square!
How much longer are we going to allow this traffic situation to exist? What if this woman had died? Would we make ourselves heard then?
This isn't about who is at fault. It's about a situation that has been allowed to worsen over the years, without consequence. Somebody needs to take a stand.
Today, we take a stand! We demand that our elected officials do something, before we really do lose a member of our community.
Are we in this alone? Drop us a comment and tell us if you're on-board!
