The first A-Bbikes meeting of this year is scheduled for the same time as the DCR’s follow-up meeting regarding the BU bridge… so we’ll plan to meet briefly after the DCR meeting, location TBD by those attending. We hope to see you there!
Excerpts from MassBike’s last update re: the BU Bridge meeting…
BU (and Craigie ) Bridge(s) Update: January 27, 2009
The DCR is holding this follow-up meeting for the first two projects in the Accelerated Bridge Program. The initial public meetings on the BU and Craigie Bridges were very well-attended by the cycling community. When the DCR presented plans that did not adequately address bicycling, the negative response from cyclists was immediate, and the DCR heard you! The DCR has now promised a series of steps to ensure that bicycling needs are better addressed on these bridges and throughout the rest of the program. At this meeting, the DCR will show us their revised plans. We need lots of bicyclists at this meeting to give a strong response to whatever we see, good or bad. Tuesday, January 27, 2009, 6-8 pm, Kirsch Auditorium, Stata Center, MIT, 32 Vassar Street, Cambridge.
