Staying the obvious here, but it is pretty messed up that there’s no sidewalk on the Somerville side for a big stretch of the Alewife Brook Parkway. Cross safely, kids!!
@bikepedantic those arent old growth trees but yes just reduce the number of lanes and make a sidewalk plus bike boulevard
@bikepedantic it’s maybe an extreme view, but as far as I’m concerned: if you can’t afford to build a sidewalk, you can’t afford to build a road
@bikepedantic also that's the intersection with the blinking green light.
@bikepedantic gotta love DCR

Dismally Consistent Roads. I truly don’t know how they live with themselves.
@db @bikepedantic you should see what they just did to the sidewalks in Medford Fellsway West. If you were trolling a community with sidewalks this would be your game plan.
Indeed. Not a pleasant place to walk at all. The missed opportunity for a parking protected bike lane bothers me every time I pass through there.
@db @bikepedantic and it should only be two lanes of car traffic total -not four.
If you’re coming down the north side sidewalk of the minor street, you don’t even get an accessible crossing, or even an accessible crossing to get to the accessible crossing. Messed up.
