Description
After the light at Barrett street heading north, Colchester Ave seemingly expands to 2 lanes. However Dominos Pizza employees constantly block the right lane by parking their cars at a nearly 90 degree angle to the curb. This can cause huge backups on Barrett during the PM rush if cars turning onto Colchester Ave are blocked from using the second lane. The past few weeks have seen backups from Barrett onto Grove street as only a few cars can turn onto Colchester Ave during each light cycle. Dominos cars should be parking parallel to the curb and not be allowed to block an entire lane of travel.

I am pretty sure that Colchester Ave does not become two northbound lanes until the bridge itself. I agree that this whole confluence of intersections is super sketchy. Thankfully there is a current study for this area, so hopefully some improvements will be forthcoming.
