Somerville: Sign The Powder House Blvd Petition
Written by Boston Biker on May 13From the email:
Hi Somerville neighbors,
We created a petition for protected bike lanes on Powder House Blvd so that we can show how many people support the option with protected bike lanes. We will present the petition to the city at the public meeting on May 22. Please sign and share widely!
When we attended the previous meeting, it made a big difference in showing the city that there are many more people in support of a protected bike lane on Powder House Blvd than who oppose. These meetings also provide an opportunity to weigh in and have your comments considered before these protected bike lanes are built.
When: May 22, 6pm-8pm
Where: West Somerville Neighborhood School, 177 Powder House Blvd
Back in February, the city held a public meeting for bike infrastructure on Broadway that was very well attended by advocates for protected bike lanes. Later this month the city will likely implement a design with improvements based on comments raised at the public meeting. It will be amazing to see one mile of bike infrastructure installed on a street which so badly needs it. When we show up to meetings and write emails, we make the city more comfortable with moving quickly on safe bike infrastructure.
The Somerville Bike Committee has put in countless hours of volunteer time to make these projects possible for the city to implement. We are excited to find out how many miles of bike infrastructure Somerville will build this year!
