Magoun Square

Magoun 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]

Magoun Square station on the MBTA Green Line is located on Lowell Street 0.3 miles (0.5 km) south of the actual square, while Ball Square station is located in Ball Square 0.4 miles (0.6 km) west of Magoun Square. MBTA bus routes 80 and 89 run through the square, while route 101 follows Main Street 400 feet (120 m) to the northeast.
