The idea
Convert Chelsea Street bike lanes to be parking-protected. The existing bike lanes are constantly blocked by double-parking. Simply switching the parking lane and bike lane would resolve this issue. There is plenty of street space and no bumpouts.
Who it helps and why
Parking-protected bike lanes would make biking safer and easier in East Boston where many people don't drive or have cars. Making this change would not affect parking availability.
