That pedestrian heavy intersection is extremely difficult for shoppers and T riders. It was recently reconfigured after a previous death. A possible improvement is to build overpasses as the city of Las Vegas has along its famous strip. Escalators up and down and a plaza above the streets. One is needed going from the T station to the shopping plaza and one across Mass Ave. to Upland Road. Besides White Street the exit from behind the restaurants near the tracks on the west side of Mass Ave. brings unexpected traffic to the mix.

A 63-year-old Cambridge woman who died recently after she was struck by a car in a busy intersection in Porter Square is being remembered for her generosity, uplifting spirit and ability to connect with almost anyone, according to many who knew her.
Marcie Mitler worked as a psychotherapist in a private practice in Cambridge for 22 years, and leaves behind two sons, Noah and Sam Perkins.
“She had a big heart. She was always more interested in other people than herself,” said Mitler’s son, Noah Perkins.
Mitler died from injuries sustained after being struck by a car at the intersection of Somerville Avenue and White Street early Thursday morning, Feb. 18, according to police. The incident is still under investigation, according to Meghan Kelly, director of communications for the Middlesex District Attorney's Office. No charges against the driver had been filed as of Tuesday night. However, the driver, who remained on scene, was issued a citation at the time of the crash, according to Jeremy Warnick, director of communications for the Cambridge Police Department, and other charges are expected.
