This is interesting! I have heard folks in my neighborhood say that Google and Waze route people through Medfield via Grandview Ave when 83 is slow. Is that the sort of thing you’re looking for?
If that’s what you’re looking for, and you haven’t already, perhaps reach out to community associations. Those groups will likely know if GPS routing is an ongoing issue in their area.

Oh yeah, that's a great example!
For reaching out to community associations, that's definitely something we do to some degree. Neighborhood facebook groups are another good resource.
Unfortunately, adding different individuals and groups makes a complex web of communication. The idea of getting some level of communication or data directly from the city DOT, which can quantify, collate, and highlight trends is so exciting because it lets us get more meaningful data, that's higher quality, with some expectation of consistency, without needing to navigate a network of complaints and hearsay gathered from a network of different sources.
