Smart Kids At Northeastern Making The City Better For Cyclists
Written by Boston Biker on Apr 21I went to this last year, it was fascinating and filled me with hope that it is not only possible to build a great bike infrastructure but that there are smart people out there doing the planning for it.

Friends of Northeastern University’s Transportation Engineering program:
You are invited to the final presentations of the Class of 2009 senior design projects in transportation engineering, to be held Wednesday April 22, 6:30 pm, in 108 Snell Engineering Center. The students will present designs for four outstanding bikeways:
– a cycle track (separated bike path) along Boylston Street from Fenway to the Public Garden, and all the way around the Public Garden
– a cycle track parallel to the Harbor Commercial Street in the North End to Kneeland Street in Chinatown
– a cycle track from Melnea Cass Blvd. to UMass, via Southampton, Preble, Old Colony, and Morrissey Blvd (right past the Globe)
– a greenway along Lee / Clyde Streets in Brookline for walking and bicycling
Each design demonstrates the feasibility of “road diets” that make it possible to make roadways narrower, providing the space needed for traffic-separated bike paths — exactly what Boston most needs to promote bicycling and bicycle safety.
Please see the attachedflyer.
