Thanks a lot, jumbobuc. I've been hoping for this in all the neighborhood threads: site ideas
Today work began on demolishing the concrete center median along Seaport Blvd (!!!!!!!!!) - they're starting at Sleeper Street and working their way down. This is awesome!

What will take it's place?
I'd much rather they got rid of the median altogether and added bike lanes instead...Grass and trees - I hope the median is wider than it is now.

I really hate trying to park inside of a bike lane. As if parallel parking in a busy area isn't challenging enough... Luckily this isn't among my go-to streets for parking in the city!

...There are already bike lanes. Although some bicyclists still prefer to use the sidewalks and zoom past pedestrians since they can't be bothered to cross the street to use the corresponding bike lane for the direction that they are heading in. Others also seem to prefer to use the double yellow line in the middle of the road while there are bike lanes on either side, especially on the Seaport Blvd bridge because... reasons.
No excuse for the sidewalk. I'd imagine the median riders are doing so because they want to turn left and are too nervous or stupid to ride between travel lanes.
As an aside, my #1 issue with bike share programs like HubWay is the number of damn fools who don't know how to ride a bike in the city insisting on doing so; riding the clumsy clunkers on sidewalks, or in traffic while not seeming to know what the rules are, or even how to competently break the rules. I see reckless cyclers on commuter bikes or road bikes, but they also clearly know what they're doing - kinda like many city drivers. The tourists and others are just ignorant of how reckless/lawless they're being.
