Better bike lanes
We've installed many bike lanes in Boston. Now we're working to make them better.
About our work
Boston has a large network of conventional bike lanes. These lanes dedicate about five feet of space in the street for bicycling. As we’ve added bike lanes across the City, more people have chosen to ride a bike to work, to the T, to farmers markets, or just for fun.
But, many people don’t feel comfortable riding in conventional bike lanes. That’s why we are creating more routes with separation between drivers and bicyclists. We're also creating traffic-calmed local streets. We want to provide comfortable, safe places for biking and also make the streets safer for everyone.
