that's the plan. I hope the bike lane is somewhat protected, better than how it was before. The cars "bunch up" to form two lanes every morning during rush hour, waiting at the light, which eliminates the bike lane.
They made mincemeat of the old yard in span of a single week. Get your pics of the old station building quick because that might be gone by next weekend at the rate they're going. . .
I have a lot of good memories of Lechmere Station, such as riding back from Revere Beach in the summer with my mother, Aunt and sisters when I was a kid in the 1950s. But I admit it's a marginal type of station.
It was the first MBTA station I ever used when I came to visit to go apartment hunting for the first time. I doubt I have used it more than 2-3 more times in the ten years I’ve lived here, but that is just the geography of where I ended up settling. As a Ball Square resident, I suspect I’ll be using new Lechmere a whole lot more in the future.
