Biking in Boston Getting Better All The Time
In the last 2 weeks or so, a slew of positive Boston biking news has been announced.
The Mayor releases the annual bike report:
The city released a draft of it's BikeMap (PDF) and asked for comments/suggestions.
And most importantly, the Bicyclist Safety Bill passed after 8 years signaling a ton of changes making biking in Boston safer.
Three cheers!
The Mayor releases the annual bike report:
Mayor Menino kicked off Boston Bikes a year ago with a strong commitment to transform bicycling in Boston. Since then, Boston Bikes has installed 250 racks, added several miles of bike lanes, started a bicyclist advisory board, worked with nearly 500 youth, and engaged over 7,000 cyclists in a variety of programs, both old and new.

It’s interesting that the sketchiest part of my bike commute also had the most cyclists counted and is part of the most bike commuting routes: The BU Bridge.
There’s actually a DCR meeting about the BU Bridge and the Craigie Street bridge (by the Museum of Science) *tonight*
