Allston-Brighton bikes

posted on behalf of Alex Selvig:

The BC Task Force, appointed by Mayor Menino to review BC’s Master Plan, has recommended more emphasis on alternative transportation and bike lanes. There’s a meeting next Tuesday at Brighton Marine Hospital on Warren St at 6.30PM. Weigh in and make car use reduction and bike lanes a top priority!
From the BCTF Letter: “Alternative Transportation […] Unfortunately, the master plan provides no systematic approach foralternative modes of transportation. In a time when the environment is of paramount concern, Boston College has no serious plans for the use of bikes, for an increase in car pooling or for the expanded use of public transportation in the next ten years (a careful review of the master plan reveals that these issues are given cursory attention and that there are no real plans proposed). Boston College should be required to provide a detailed plan for the development of bike lanes to, from, and between its campuses. […] The Task Force advanced these views in its earlier review of Boston
College’s IMPNF. The Task Force regrets that Boston College failed to respond to these concerns when revising its plan. At a time of increasing concern about the environment and rising gasoline prices, the Task Force finds Boston College’s failure to embrace alternative means of transportation to its campus both problematic and puzzling.”
Let’s make this happen! Alex
