Traffic congestion on Broadway is becoming a pressing issue in Chelsea, as highlighted during the recent Traffic and Parking Commission meeting. Commissioners discussed the impact of bus routes on local traffic, noting that five bus routes currently do not utilize the designated bus lane, exacerbating congestion even during off-peak hours.

One commissioner pointed out the need for more specific information regarding the bus routes, emphasizing that many residents rely on these services. The lack of adherence to the bus lane by buses contributes significantly to the traffic problems, creating delays for both bus riders and other drivers.

The discussion underscored the importance of addressing these traffic concerns, as the ongoing congestion affects daily life for many Chelsea residents. The Commission is expected to explore potential solutions to improve bus lane usage and alleviate traffic on Broadway in future meetings.
