Maybe we live in alternate realities. Have you ever been down Highland ave?
Admittedly I don’t take it very much. I’m either traveling perpendicular to or parallel to Highland. Poking around on Google, though, it doesn’t look worse than Main Street in Medford south of Medford Square.
The area by the high school is in complete shambles, but as somebody else mentioned that is likely where they are repaving. The stretch between Davis Square and City Hall is fine, certainly good enough from an urban standpoint.
Went through there this morning; this is the worst block(s) in the city for cyclists, for motorists, for urban planning, for social welfare/ city services. It's really the worst place in the entire city in my opinion.
AND people turning right onto Albany love to swing into the bike lane (for unclear reasons since they can certainly make the turn without doing that).
if you live in Dorchester I understand you gotta do what you gotta do but I wouldnt be biking thru that area regardless of vehicular trafficAND people turning right onto Albany love to swing into the bike lane (for unclear reasons since they can certainly make the turn without doing that).
Massachusetts drivers are very sloppy drivers. You would get ticketed in California for the random way most Massachusetts drivers turn in intersections (wide swings, cutting corners, infringing on other travel or bike lanes....)AND people turning right onto Albany love to swing into the bike lane (for unclear reasons since they can certainly make the turn without doing that).
