    Intersection Of Cambridge St And N Harvard St, Allston, Ma

    I am concerned about bike lane safety on Cambridge St. This stretch is always covered with large rocks and gravel from the construction area, which could easily cause a biker to lose balance/wipe out, get a flat, or need to swerve into dangerously fast traffic and risk getting hit. How will the city maintain street cleaning and safety at this spot?

    Resolved. Violation issued for loose dirt on street.

  • Pothole

    71 Boylston St, Jamaica Plain, Ma, 02130

    we need some kind of barrier here (bollards, zebras, narrow curbing) to prevent cars from swerving on the incoming contraflow bike lane here. the parked cars on the right both push incoming traffic into the bike lane "AND* block the view of the bike lane. this is a heavily used school corridor for Curley Elementary and needs special consideration. PLEASE 🙏

  • General Traffic Engineering Request

    Intersection Of N Washington St And Rutherford Ave, Boston, Ma

    Constituent wanted to request an evaluation for the intersection of N Washington and Chelsea St, Charlestown. Constituent states that, as a cyclist, when they are coming from the Bill Russel Bridge towards that intersection, there is no button for them to press while in the bike path to indicate their crossing, as the light won't automatically change unless a pedestrian on the sidewalk is pressing the button at that crosswalk instead. Constituent wanted to see if this intersecion could be evaulated to have a crossing button installed for cyclists to press so they can cross through the intersection. |

    Fire truck has been parked in the bike lane at 75 Clarendon Street for about a week, including overnight. It is fully blocking the bike lane, forcing cyclists into the street and creating a safety hazard. No active emergency or personnel observed. Please clear the obstruction and enforce.

    Congestion pricing? Is the city trying to chase out businesses? People need to drive to go to work and care for those in their family that are disabled! Not everyone is on Section 8 or work from home! Bike lanes are useless for 4 months a year minimum and don’t pay excise taxes. Vehicles pay excise taxes for horrible road conditions. Fiscally irresponsible administration!

  • Pothole

    Intersection Of Westland Ave And Falmouth St And Massachusetts Ave And Saint Stephen St, Boston, Ma

    "Pothole" is the closest category I could find, bear with me please. The 3 pictures I've attached here were taken at 270 Massachusetts Ave, Boston, MA 02115 in front of the Blue Bike Station on Sunday, April 28th. In the pictures, you can see that there are 2 long cement barriers that are not lined-up parallel with the others, causing a dangerous scenario for cyclists, as there is barely 2 feet of distance....n the sidewalk and the askew cement barriers. The barriers are too heavy for an individual to move and I assume are the city's responsibility to fix. Please address this issue, the cement barriers are unmarked and pose a danger to those traveling in the bike lane.
