Streets at Common To Become One-Way

One-way traffic around Cambridge Common will be established for a trial period starting March 1, under an ordinance passed by the City Council yesterday. The change is part of a plan to have a complex of one-way streets surrounding the Common and the Yard.

Captain of Traffic, Edward Tierney, told the Council that under the trial plan, traffic will move toward Harvard Square only on Garden Street, toward Somerville on Mass. Ave. along the section which borders on the Common, and from Mass. Ave. to Garden Street along Waterhouse Street.

Councilor Joseph DeGuglielmo '29 proposed that the trial period be delayed until March 1, when the plan can be more effectively tested.
