The current design proposal for a two-way bike lane on Dartmouth Street in Back Bay #Boston looks great. Shown off at a community meeting this
evening. Particularly great to see a counter-flow lane going towards the pedestrian overpass to the Esplanade.

The slide shows an drawing of two-way bike lane built on the eastern side of Dartmouth St. between Commonwealth Avenue and Beacon Street, and a counter-flow lane from Beacon Street to Back Street, with access to the Dartmouth Street Footbridge to the Charles River Esplanade. "Sharrows" indicate that traffic riding towards Beacon from the Esplanade would share the lane with car traffic.

The segment between Marlborough Street and Beacon Street is separated from road traffic by parking.

My regular running route goes over the Longfellow Bridge into #Boston from Cambridge. And while we have completely fallen in love with #Paris and want to retire there, while Paris is more beautiful than dear, dowdy little Boston in 999 ways out of a thousand, I have to say that the famous Seine is kind of a dinky brown river hemmed in by ugly walls, and the view from the Longfellow is fucking spectacular.

I am used to #Boston having bad traffic and appalling drivers, but my life is structured such that I'm almost never out and about during rush hour. (I'm asleep for the morning rush and at work through the afternoon one.) Today, for various reasons, I walked home at 4 pm on Friday and the behavior on display was as embarrassing as it was infuriating.

Quick spin on the new tires

Someone was playing saxophone by Neponset trail. Was he the target of a recent 311 complaint about someone playing saxophone (near Adams & King playground in Dorchester)? 😅

Perfect example today why better transit benefits everyone, including those who don’t take it regularly.

I regret to my gut that I drove to work today. The rain and red line shut down made a lot of more people drive instead of taking train / biking. It’s not simple as just sitting in traffic listening to music on freeway. I had to literally squeeze my way through thanks to Boston’s historic street layout and planning and the collective terrible driving behaviors.

I’d rather bike in the rain!

A driver almost ran over a construction worker on Mass Ave near Symphony who was directing traffic, while four cyclists waiting patiently in the bike lane. Everyone was yelling at the driver.

And I was told bike lanes were the problem?

Someone was getting arrested at Mass & Cass today. Several police cruisers. So I biked on the sidewalk.

Never a dull moment.
