Some of the buildings downtown have bike parking in their garages. The Garage at the Copley Marriot comes to mind. Still follow the guidance on locks from Henry, but I used to park there (pre-pandemic) and it was well lit, not visible on the street, had multiple parking attendants on-site and also had cameras over the parking area. I never had any problems there.
Is this available to the public, or is it just for MGH employees? Generally speaking, I think it's hard to find places like this without directly seeing it. Is anybody aware of a resource that lists or maps secure bike facilities throughout the city? It's often challenging to even know whether an intended destination will have anything better than a sign post, let alone this kind of facility.

On further review, it appears that's an MGH only garage.
So the city started a public works project to work on the crossings in early 2019, they then put the project on hold and never discussed it again. Hopefully it will make a comeback in parallel with this perhaps?
So a corridor crossings project was originally being constructed in 2015. After the Boston Public Works rebuilt the crossing at Gordon St (just south of the Green St MBTA Station) several cyclists, including myself, and a few members of the PMAC (Park Management Advisory Committee) had an informal meeting with Boston Public Works Department. We thought we had a reasonable criticism of the crossing being no longer in line with the path and being pushed closer to the intersection was a very poor design solution, apparently the PWD thought otherwise. Like Charlie on the T, they never returned.
Eyes On the Street: Protected Bike Lanes Under Construction in Cambridge’s Inman Square
It’s been under construction for two and a half years now, but bike riders and pedestrians are finally beginning to see some above-the-ground changes in the street infrastructure of Inman Square near the Cambridge-Somerville city line.
A comparison of Inman Square’s intersection before (left) and after (right) a reconstruction project that’s expected to be complete later this year. The project will split the x-shaped intersection into two smaller T-shaped intersections, and add protected bike lanes between the two new intersections and to adjacent segments of Hampshire and Cambridge Streets.

This article was dated from June 7. So being eight weeks in, I was hoping a section might already be done, and thus took this route home from Back Bay yesterday. So far they've only spray painted the outline of a couple of bus islands and curb extensions exclusively between Magazine and Shirley Streets.Boston Begins Construction on ‘Mass. Ave. South’ Protected Bikeway in Dorchester
On Monday, the City of Boston broke ground on its Massachusetts AvenueBetter Bike Project, which will build a two-way protected bikeway along the western curb of Massachusetts Avenue from Melnea Cass Boulevard in Roxbury to Columbia Road in Dorchester.
