Question: Downtown To East Boston By Bike?
Written by Boston Biker on Jul 07I know there is no easy way to bike to East Boston from downtown, however I am interested if there has ever been a historical discussion about ways to do so. Was there ever talk about using space in one of the tunnels? Perhaps a floating pontoon bridge that was proposed? Is anyone aware of any plans from the past that have ever been looked at to get pedestrians and cyclists from Downtown to East Boston (without going the long way around).
Not only would this open up all of East Boston to bicycle commuters, I think it is the final connection that is lacking to fully connect the entire town by bike.
(and yes I am aware of the extended bike hours on the blue line, I am hunting for something that only involves cycling, not multi-modal)
