| 释义 |
HistoryMagoun Square was named after the family of John Calvin Magoun (1797–1882). Magoun was an assessor for the town of Somerville, served on the school committee as an overseer of the poor, and was a captain in the militia. His family owned a farm between Broadway and Vernon Streets and lived in the Adams-Magoun House, built circa 1783.[2][3] TransportationMagoun Square is located at the intersection of Broadway and Medford Streets, two major thoroughfares. The square is a six-way intersection, with signals for Dexter Street and a municipal parking lot as well as the two major through streets. Lowell Street meets Medford Street just south of the square at a separate light. In 2009, the city requested and received $3 million in stimulus funding to improve the safety and accessibility of the crash-prone intersection.[4] The project, which totaled $3.1 million in work, included new traffic signals, raised pedestrian islands and accessible curb cuts, bicycle racks, improved sidewalks, and street furniture.[5] The project was initially completed in 2011, though some work had to be redone in 2012.[6][7] Two MBTA Bus routes run through the square:
