English title and summary written with AI from the resident's text.
The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
Currently, the City has not created a safe bikeway between South Boston and South End (and subsequent communities). E Berkeley Street and W Fourth Bridge should have protected bike lanes to allow for safe passage between these neighborhoods.
Who it helps and why
E Berkeley is currently an unsafe roadway with three lanes, encouraging speeding. W Fourth does not have protected bike lanes. Collectively, this is not a safe stretch for vulnerable road users. A two-way bike lane should be added to connect Tremont / Berkeley to South Boston through the W Fourth Bridge.
