I appreciate that the eastbound bike lane on Mt Auburn near the intersection with JFK was repainted this year so that it is easier to see. However, closer to Eliot Street, the bike lane just sort of materializes out of the parking lane, and the former bike lane is truncated (see attached annotated Google Street View photo).
Is there any way to fix this so there is one continuous bike lane from Eliot St. to JFK? Or is the bike lane from Eliot Square being removed for some reason?

Thank you for following up again! And I appreciate that you will be looking to improve the biking connection across Eliot St. I usually come from Mt. Auburn, which doesn't have bike lanes, but is low-stress enough with the all-way stop at Eliot St. that it is not hard to cross.
I think the real difficult one (both on a bike, but also to try and improve) is the connection between the Brattle St. cycle track and Mount Auburn St. if you are going from west to east. Without vehicles stopping at Brattle St (but turning onto it across the contra-flow bike path), it is hard on a bike to get across traffic towards JFK St. A stop sign at Brattle Square for southbound traffic coming from Harvard Square would help pedestrians and cyclists alike in crossing the street there, but would also have potentially big negative impacts on traffic backing up into Harvard Square. I look forward to hearing the ideas for improving this area!
