Description

Pearl is a relatively safe street for bicycling for biking toward the Charles from Central Square, despite not having a bike lane, because of its low speeds. The small half-block of Granite Street between Pearl and Magazine Sts would be a good contender for a contra-flow bike lane because it would serve as a good (enough) connection to the bike-ped overpass to the Paul Dudley White Path. I'm aware that one side is used as a bus pick-up area for the school, but perhaps that lane could be temporarily repurposed for users on bicycles for the many hours per day it sits empty.
