City of Medford PLUS

Bike green markings are faded along this corridor

Please add a contraflow bike lane on Dexter from Broadway to Main. The street should be wide enough to do it without removing any parking. I see many people biking the "wrong way" down this street already and explicitly delineating the space and signing for it would make it considerably safer to do so.

Road lanes are completely gone

Adding a contraflow bike lane on Fulton for the 100ft or so from Webster to Tainter would allow the growing number of kids biking to the Roberts school to avoid the half mile less-safe detour around via Brogan/Park to get to the bike parking on Court St

Webster St. should be a good, low-speed connection for people walking or on bicycles to get to Medford Square or McNally Park from the other side of I93. Instead, it usually has cars parked on sidewalks on both sides of the street and drivers encouraged to speed by the double yellow lines in the middle of the road. Double yellow lines have been shown to increase vehicle speeds. This road doesn't have very high traffic volume, but often has individuals going at high speeds. Can we yet rid of the double yellow lines, stop allowing parking on sidewalks and on both sides of the street, and instead put in a two-way protected bike lane on the side that has the park, allow parking only on the side that is opposite the park (but not on the sidewalk), and have vehicles going in both directions share a single lane so that they have to go slow and pull to the side like what happens on streets like Tainter?

Work with Somerville to make E Albion a neighbor way style street. Replace the fence with a modal filter. It's a flat and a potentially good way to get around the hill without needing to bike on Mystic Ave. but the fence blocks it from being especially useful.

This area was repaved last year, but the bike lanes were never repainted. Please make it safe to bike here again.

Add a contraflow bike lane on Dexter to improve bike access to the surrounding neighborhood.
