Is Petru S the business owner? It seems more important to restore parking spaces in front of Fast Phil's. Those spaces were removed for the quick-build bike lane fiasco, along with 80 other spaces that North Mass Ave business owners depend on. Please support our local business owners, who are struggling thru covid. Restore customer parking on North Mass Ave.
Restore everything..this is foolishness & residents & businesses need 2 b involved with reasonable notice & response time. That did not happen. Also the intersections now gets more & more backed up as previously noted, trucks & additional traffic using bus lanes & residential streets & more! The "rush" supposedly is 2 complete by 5/22 & type of wk cant b done winter months well then get out the paints & return 2 the 2 lanes with meters. Then proceed w proper notice & input. There is time. "Stickers & notepads @ "pop up mtgs" blowing in wind is not acceptable "notification" nor is it professional BTW.. asked what happens if timeline not met...no response..asked ..so what, u get a "ticket" ? Pls do it right or not at all
I am at 2528 Mass Ave. There is no business at 2524 I WANT parking back. I have lost all my customers due to all this. I asked for a bike rack many times YEARS AGO and was denied several times. All of a sudden it’s gonna get me one cause cars are basically banned. Of course we welcome all modes of transport to our shop. HELL ID TAKE HORSES at this rate Now that we’re dying and being put out of business. someone is requesting a rack near my neighbors house to help us I guess or help them maybe. I get one bike a day and used to get up to 50 cars a day Do the math !!! Fix it for EVERYONE!!!
Thanks for your request. We will evaluate this location, let you know of our findings, and notify abutting property owners if racks will be installed. Please note that sites for bike racks can be limited on narrow sidewalks due to the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) requirement that a sufficient walkway be left open for people with disabilities.
I think it’s funny, I requested bike racks for six years and I was denied now all of a sudden It may be allowed why couldn’t I have them back then. Many years of my customers bringing their bicycles in the shop when there was no need of that. Because it didn’t matter when I requested them. Sad
So how long is it gonna take to get a bike rack now that you’ve painted one on the sidewalk is that supposed to be it? Why does this take so long? People are locking their bicycles to the handicap signs. Trees places they’re not supposed to.
I’ve been biking to Fast Phils for years. Please install a bike rack in close proximity. There’s no convenient place for people to lock a bike. This request is almost 2 years old!
