  • General Traffic Engineering Request

    Intersection Of Dartmouth St And Stuart St, Boston, Ma

    constituent reports auto traffic routinely blocking the bike lane on Dartmouth St. between Stuart St. and St. James Street in front of the Fairmont Copley Plaza. Requests re-assesment of traffic flow and enforcement of bike-lane blockages. |

    CLOSED #101005863210

    Case Resolved. We expect the incidence of parking in the bike lane to decline over time as more of the flex posts and concrete curbing pieces are installed and the bike lanes are more defined and continuous. People have been used to parking on the curb and it'll take some time for them to figure out the new arrangement. To help expedite that process, we will seek additional parking enforcement in the immediate few months following construction. We need to work in partnership with our operations team to ensure they have the 7 feet of clearance for their maintenance vehicles (particularly street sweepers). As the project concludes, we work with the operations team to determine what is possible to ensure that the lanes remain closed to cars while still allowing them to be cleaned and cleared of snow.
