Organize for bike lanes on Centre/South Thursday Feb. 11
Posted by wheelie on February 7th, 2010
JPBikes will host a meeting of those interested in joining the effort to
get bike lanes on Centre and South St in Jamaica Plain. The meeting will
be at the Agassiz School at 7:00pm on Thursday.
The planners and consultants for the Centre/South CAC have said that it is
highly likely that bike lanes can be striped over a significant portion of
this corridor. However, without a strong message of support by the
community, they can not proceed with the detailed design of bicycle
accommodations that encourage safe cycling. Thursday’s meeting will be
focused on getting that public support in advance of the next CAC meeting,
which will be within the next few weeks. The current cycle-friendly
atmosphere in the city government may not last, so the time is now for
getting this done!
