Great news Southie Cyclists: we’ll soon be getting some bicycle infrastructure on A-Street & D-Street. What does that mean exactly? Well, the City’s current plan is a mixture of bike lanes, buffered bike lanes, sharrows, and perhaps even cycle-tracks making the crucial link between Dot Ave to the Seaport.

Overall the City’s plan is a great start, but there is room
for further improvement and several ways to make the bike lanes safer… but we
need your help if we want to see these improvements made.
As the voice of cyclists in South Boston the City will
listen to our feedback. We need a good
turnout at the next meeting to review the plans and come to a conclusion for
which sections should be changed.
To help us through this process Pete Stidman, director of The Boston Cyclists Union, will be attending our next meeting. Pete has extensive knowledge of bike lane planning, and can help guide us through the process of discussing our conclusions with the City. If you want to see positive change, and make cycling safer in South Boston then now is the time to act.
