Cambridge friends, remind City Council of the environmental benefits of building out our protected bike lane network!

Take action by asking your member of Congress to dedicate $200 million for ATIIP funding in FY2025 to ensure that communities like yours can invest in the construction of local transportation networks. Follow the link to send your letter of support today. bit.ly/3U5Vwc2

A bike lane is born 🐣

📍Boynton Yards, Somerville

Looking down Summer Street from Benton Road, this is going to be a pretty amazing 🚲 track!

We cannot afford another 2 years of delay. Somebody was injured in Porter Square today, and >230 pedestrians and cyclists were hit on our streets last year Cambridge Bicycle Safety LivableStreets TransitMatters WalkMassachusetts City of Cambridge thecrimson.com/article/2024/4…

A promised bridge over the Mystic River would be a missing link for Somerville and Everett. So where is it? The Boston Globe

More progress on the new 🚲 cycle track on Summer Street.

“The $850,000 secured for Somerville’s Highland Ave Streetscape Project will not only revitalize one of our most traveled roads, but also enrich the lives of our residents, fostering connectivity, safety, and economic growth” said Mayor Katjana Ballantyne

💰We secured over $13 million in federal funding for community projects across the #MA7 .

So far we've brought home over $35 million to build a more just & equitable district.

I'm proud to partner with municipalities & grassroots orgs to continue delivering for our communities.

(1/2) The City plans to reconstruct sidewalks & repave Broadway between Clarendon Ave & Alewife Brook Pkwy to make it safer for all users. Attend an open house on April 13 at West Somerville Neighborhood School (177 Powder House Blvd.), 1-4pm to review the design & ask questions.

A little bit of good bike infrastructure news: A few weeks ago, Somerville Infrastructure took out the Grove St.“no bikes” gate and replaced it with flex posts! This gives cyclists heading north (or to the western side of the Community Path) a safer alternative to Highland Ave.... (1/3)

Don’t let the rain get you down, there’s a new protected bike lane on Summer Street going down. (Still more work to be done, before it is useable) 🚲

Join MassBike, Cambridge & Somerville Bike Safety, and Somerville Bicycle Committee to kick off Bay State Bike Month on 4/28 at Aeronaut Brewery! The party will be from 1-5pm, with music, bike advocacy orgs and a Bikes and Businesses Panel Disc. FB Event: fb.me/e/6qwBsB4Kr

It is a truly miraculous achievement of local government that you can now bike from Somerville to the Boston Aquarium almost entirely on separated, safe, fun bike lanes & the community path. It’s legit a different universe from when I was a kid.

It's about to get exciting on Western Washington Street as our crews mobilize to begin construction on drainage and sidewalk improvements! voice.somervillema.gov/western-washin…
