Looks like Newburyport is going to get a bikeshare system next year. https://newburyportlivablestreets.org/2024/09/07/newburyports-bike-share-initiative/ https://newburyportlivablestreets.org/bikeshare/

Does anyone know if the legislature is looking into what the single-stair report wrote about? I'm not that keyed into what goes on in Beacon Hill.

Nope there will still be three lanes across the bridge. One of the changes is to make the rightmost NB lane a right-turn-only lane to allow for signal separation of the bike and ped movements, removing that turning conflict.

What did they do?

How many of us on this forum have reached out to our reps/senators? It's one thing to talk about all these transit and development projects, it's another to actually try and advocate for change. I've been emailing my reps about road safety on DCR owned streets. Hopefully they realize that this...

If the angled parking was replaced with parallel parking, you might be able to squeeze in a bike lane. But overall, this is going to be a huge improvement.

Looks great! Seems like there’s a gap in the northbound bike lane in this photo…

No. We need to build a ton more housing so we don’t lose any votes in the electoral college.

Now I hate this project lol

I watched that meeting. The consultants/ planners even said that this is a paper-compliance plan, some of the areas to be rezoned would just match the zoning to what’s out there today and allow like 5 new units of housing across the entire zone. It seems very risky to put all that funding at...

Are those shuttles free to use?

Does anyone here have a good email to send complaints/concerns about the paths to at DCR? I’m complaining about the tree roots just east of the BU boathouse, they’ve really warped the pavement in one stretch.

They should have followed CA’s lead and included a “builders remedy” that basically voids local zoning if the community isn’t compliant with the law.

I’m not made of sugar. I’ll bike in the rain and winter, DCR just needs to stay on top of snow and ice removal.

https://www.universalhub.com/2024/left-hand-meet-right-hand-mbta-warns-commuter-rail Ari O has a good comment along the lines of what you're talking about. I'd rather deal with some very disruptive construction phasing if it meant shaving off significant time of the overall project.

Yep. There’s some really uneven pavement near the boathouse from some tree roots. Would love to see them make some improvements there too.

I was talking about the SW Corrudor redesign. But what you’re describing at the JFk intersection is something I’ve felt with as a pedestrian. It’s annoying when a right turning car is on the bridge and blocking the crosswalk.

I agree about the separation from the road. Why would someone stick to a sidewalk adjacent to a wide, busy road. Especially if the bike path has tree coverage to provide shade. What I’m looking forward to the most about the redesign is the wider crosswalks. Dumping both the bike path and...

Is that project "Project 611987 - CAMBRIDGE- BRIDGE REPLACEMENT, C-01-026, MEMORIAL DRIVE OVER BROOKLINE STREET"?

Thanks for this!
