Case Resolved. We expect the incidence of parking in the bike lane to decline over time as more of the flex posts and concrete curbing pieces are installed and the bike lanes are more defined and continuous. People have been used to parking on the curb and it'll take some time for them to figure out the new arrangement. To help expedite that process, we will seek additional parking enforcement in the immediate few months following construction. We need to work in partnership with our operations team to ensure they have the 7 feet of clearance for their maintenance vehicles (particularly street sweepers). As the project concludes, we work with the operations team to determine what is possible to ensure that the lanes remain closed to cars while still allowing them to be cleaned and cleared of snow.

Case Resolved. Speed humps have been installed along Forbes St.

Case Resolved. Thank you for reaching out to us with your issue. We share your concerns about making the City streets safer and we recently revised our speed hump program so that neighborhoods can receive them more quickly. We aim to slow traffic to make every street in the City safer and more comfortable for walking, biking, and rolling. A map is available on boston.gov that shows which streets in the City will receive speed humps during the first three-year phase of construction. We will continue to update the map as new phases of construction are determined. We plan to design and build speed humps in about ten areas each year for the next three years. This is approximately 500 speed humps per year. Everton Street is eligible for speed humps but they are not imminently planned. Streets have been prioritized based on a series of criteria that promotes the safety of all street users. We evaluated each area for its safety history, demographics (higher numbers of children, older adults, and people with a disability), if there are parks, schools, community centers nearby, plans for repaving and ramp construction, and needs otherwise identified by the residents of the neighborhood. We will work to continue to scale up our capacity as quickly as possible.
