Bike Lanes Pop Up On Washington Street Near Downtown

This is a preliminary report (sorry I don’t have the little do-hickey that lets you take pictures off the camera with me) but this morning while riding to work I noticed that the “bus lane” on Washington (see map below) is now a “Bus and Bike lane”

For those of you not in the know, this section of Washington has apparently been designated a bus/bike lane for a long long time. But the city and the MBTA were in stuck in a game of “you paint the signs” “No! You pain the signs” for a couple years. Seems someone finally won!

I will have more pictures, and more info (like how far down it goes in both directions) tonight as I will investigate on the way home.

It’s not a long lane, but it’s nice to see yet more bicycle infrastructure popping up all over. We will see if the bus’s and cars respect the new markings. Hopefully someone over at the City or the MBTA let the other person know they put the signs down.

Remember I am still hunting for pictures of new bike racks, if you see one snap a photo and send it to shane at BostonBiker.org with the location you saw it.
