English title and summary written with AI from the resident's text.
The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
Please put a protected bike lane on Lincoln Street. This street is very long with no stoplights so cars tend to drive pretty fast. It is also narrow, so there is not really a safe way to drive around cyclists without driving into oncoming traffic.
Who it helps and why
Streets that are safe for pedestrians, cyclists, and cars are safe for everyone. People who bike usually cannot afford cars or cannot afford to take the T frequently. Safe modes of transportation are important for social and racial equity.
