City Hall – DR assigned this issue to Traffic - KC (Permits)

Thank you for contacting the Cambridge Traffic, Parking, and Transportation Department. The transition is noted by the dashed bike lane line as well as the presence of a "Bikes May Use Full Lane" sign. As a cyclist is required to "change lanes" at this location, they would need to signal and wait for a gap before merging out of the bike lane into a shared facility. When this bike lane was discussed last year at the Cambridge Bicycle Committee meeting, it was decided that having a bike lane here now, even if non-continuous through this segment, was a much better option than no action on this corridor. Shared lane markings were not installed because they would be too permanent for this arrangement. We are still planning to have a discussion about further improvements to Garden St this fall as part of the recent City Council Order.
