Separated Bike Lane Demonstration Project

Separated Bike Lane Demonstration Begins December 2016

This December, the City will implement the following demonstrations of separated bike lane infrastructure using temporary materials before the winter season:

• Massachusetts Avenue Northbound (east/odd side of the street) from Sidney Street to Douglass Street: This is the area in front of the proposed Mass+Main residential and retail development project, and would involve creating a parking-protected bicycle lane in this area, with the use of flexible delineators to further separate the parking from the bike lane.

• Massachusetts Avenue Northbound (east/odd side of the street) from Waterhouse Street to Everett Street: This location runs in front of the Harvard Law School, in an area with an existing bike lane located adjacent to parking. The proposed improvement would involve removing the parking to provide a separated bike lane protected by flexible delineators while maintaining two travel lanes on Massachusetts Avenue.
