Union Square Getting Bike Boxes
Written by Boston Biker on Sep 21These little guys have been springing up all over the union square area.
So far…lets just say that the motorists and cyclists have not been understanding how to use them.
There were two giant open boxes here, and a million cyclists crammed into the bike lane to my right. As soon as some cars pulled up we got this.
Perhaps with more use they will get the idea, but personally I would have liked to see some targeted enforcement by police officers for the first couple of days, no tickets needed, just giving them a chat and showing them that Somerville is serious about the bike boxes.

Also as a side note, see the nice textured green stuff they painted the bike boxes with, its not slick in the rain, and it doesn’t reflect light. However the paint the city laid down over the existing bike lanes is neither textured, and it does shine very brightly in the sun blinding you in the morning and evening. More of this bumpy green stuff, less of the slightly blue reflector paint please.
