Fill Out Somerville’s Survey About Powder House Blvd

From the CBS:

The city has created a survey regarding bike infrastructure on Powder House Blvd. Fill out their survey and vote for the options which you feel are the safest for all users of the street. We need as many Somerville residents as possible to fill this out so the city has a good idea what public sentiment is on this issue, so please share the link to the survey widely. Please note that Option C is the safest option and that a ‘1’ rating indicates the strongest preference for an option.

The meeting on Wednesday was tense but it shows why it is so important that the city sees strong, broad support in favor of protected bike lanes and traffic calming infrastructure on Powder House Blvd.

Thank you all who could attend the meeting. Public meetings often aren’t fun but they are important because the city uses them as one way of measuring public sentiment on bike infrastructure. When we voice our support for protected bike lanes, whether it’s at a meeting, by a petition, by a survey, or with an email to the city, it reassures them that they are acting in the public’s interest by prioritizing safety in street design.

We have an opportunity with Powder House Blvd to draw a line in the sand on people getting hurt or killed on our streets. We are fighting for infrastructure because protected bike lanes save lives. While some bike infrastructure projects are controversial, we are fighting for our safety and the safety of our loved ones so we must do all we can to make these projects happen.

Again: please fill out the survey and then share it with your other friends in Somerville.

Thanks,

-your neighbors at Cambridge Bicycle Safety
