We are proud to share news from PeopleForBikes, who named Western Avenue as America's #1 new bike lane in 2015.

According to PeopleForBikes, "This beautiful half-mile project out of the heart of Boston's next-door neighbor has it all: clear separation from both sidewalk and auto traffic; a direct route from a major commercial node and transit hub to a regional network of bike paths; bike signals at the intersections with leading intervals that give people biking and walking a head start to cross."

Congratulations to the Public Works project team for their hard work and dedication to this project and thank you as the community and Western Ave neighbors who patiently endured the construction
