WHAT: MassDOT will be holding the 25% Design Public Hearing for the Mass Ave Arlington Project (from Cambridge City Line to Pond Lane), and it is the last big opportunity for the public to express their views about the project.
LIVABLESTREETS POSITION: strongly supports the proposed design, which includes wider sidewalks, bike lanes, new and improved crosswalks, and clearly defined travel lanes, all while serving the current and projected traffic volumes. These improvements will result in a street that is safer and more appealing for all modes of transportation.
We urge folks who use Mass Ave to attend this meeting and speak in support of the proposed design. Your voice is critical at this time!

I have no idea what the actual ones south of Porter look like, but if you get a pic send me a link to it in the comments. If you spot any new bike infrastructure and want to let everyone know about it, drop me a line by using the contact page, if you get real ambitious you can add them to the map page.
