    Thanks to and for working together to complete this critical connection. As we build out our network of protected bike lanes over the next 6 years we will be creating more connections, making the network more useful over time for people of all ages and abilities.

    Around the same time the Kittie Knox bike path was finished connecting Binney St and Broadway. Kittie Knox, who was born in Cambridgeport, was a Black woman who competed in bicycle races in the 1890s while dealing with relentless racism and sexism.

    Earlier, Cambridge finished protected bike lanes on another part of Ames St including a floating bus stop!

    Last year Cambridge installed this floating bus stop along with a new two-way protected bike lane on Ames St. A floating bus stop allows buses to pick up and drop off passengers without cutting across the protected bike lane, making them safer for people on bikes.

    Take a look at this brand new two-way protected bike lane on Ames St! This means there is now a route safe for all ages and abilities all the way between the Charles River bike path and Binney St. It will also connect with future protected bike lanes at Main St and Broadway.

    The Clippership Connector would be a critical connector between Medford and Boston. However, most of the path is only 8.5 feet wide which is very narrow. Please tell DCR that the path should be at least 11 feet wide wherever possible:

    Did you know that Memorial Drive Sundays are required by state law? After November 14, could return Memorial Drive to cars and trucks on the weekends to maximize car throughput. Would you use Riverbend Park if it was left open over winter?

    This tiny path under construction will be a piece of a connection between the pedestrian bridge over the Charles River and the DeWolfe corridor which will connect to Mt Auburn, Mass Ave, Broadway, and eventually Cambridge St.

    One goal of adding protected bike lanes is to make it safer for people who currently bike around the city. Another goal is making streets safe enough that more people feel like they can. The Cambridge Cycling Safety Ordinance update we passed on Monday will do both

    I started biking in June. It is, by far, the best way to get around the city, and it has improved my life immensely. But every single time I ride for more than 15 minutes, something happens that makes me reconsider getting back on my bike.

    Cambridge, Mass. just set an aggressive timeline to build out its protected bike lane network fast — and became the first city in the U.S. to make the deadline legally enforceable. Now *that's* what we call Vision Zero. bhttps://bit.ly/3daTstB
