Medford Mayor to talk bike paths (as part of larger press conference today)
As Somerville's northern flank, Medford (my town) has a symbiotic role in connecting Somerville to/from radial routes (Boston Ave, College Ave, Medford St-Main St) across the Mystic, and circumferential (around/along the Mystic River). Medford has few bike lanes today, and choppy pavement on a lot of arterials. Here's hoping we're going to fix that.
Biking in Medford is scary. I don't do it much. Part of it is infrastructure, but it also doesn't seem to have many cyclists yet. The Northern Strand being fairly close to Medford might help this along.
