The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
Two-way protected bike lanes and road diet would be helpful for the Rose Kennedy Greenway to make it a safer and more livable space. Currently, the road encourages speeding and is not safe for bicyclists.
Who it helps and why
The Greenway runs parallel to the highway below it and does not need to be a high-speed roadway. Instead, the Greenway should be treated as first and foremost a park with road dieted lanes and protected bike infrastructure running each direction. Doing so would make the roadway safer for vulnerable road users.
