———-
The stations have landed, cold weather be darned! 11 new stations, including Hubway’s 150th, have expanded the system both within and beyond the previous geographic footprint. If you haven’t seen the new stations or gotten a chance to ride the new bikes, there’s still plenty of time to enjoy the season, as the Hubway mechanics and field team are busy making sure bikes are available to you as we get deeper into fall. There’s big bike-related happenings continuing throughout Boston, Brookline, Cambridge, and Somerville. Check below for news on the bike networks in Cambridge and Brookline, and an important bike detour in Somerville. Need a bike to get you there? #TakeHubway. Pedal on, The Hubway Team |

SYSTEM ALERT: Beacon Street Reconstruction Project in Somerville
RESURFACING BEGINS THIS WEEK – Please note detours for cyclists!
On Thursday, October 22nd, and Friday, October 23rd (weather permitting), MassDOT contractors will be adding a temporary overlay resurfacing and restriping over the entire stretch of Beacon Street in Somerville in order to alleviate issues with the deteriorated road surface for drivers and cyclists, in advance of the full reconstruction, currently scheduled to begin in 2016. During this work, cyclists are strongly encouraged for their safety to seek the following alternate routes, designed to only minimally extend trips.
Phase I of the paving, on Thursday, will require the full closure of Beacon Street between Oxford & Washington Streets from 9am until approximately 9pm. Phase II, on Friday, will require the full closure of Beacon Street between Washington Street and the Cambridge line from 9am until approximately 9pm. Maps of the detour routes for bicycles, both eastbound from Porter to Inman and Westbound from Inman to Porter can be found by clicking here.
Hard copies of detour maps will also available in boxes near the Somerville/Cambridge city lines along Beacon Street, where electronic message boards will alert cyclists. Temporary detour signs will also be installed. This interim repaving measure will keep the roadway in smoother condition through the start of the full-depth reconstruction project next spring. For more details on the resurfacing along with a full-depth reconstruction timeline for Beacon Street, visit the Reconstruction Project website here.
