Finally rode the full GLX trail legally, and let’s stipulate from the start that it’s wonderful, too narrow, and will get used to death. A few other down-in-the-weeeds thoughts (1/x)
Trailside bike cage for East Somerville green line station is pretty cool
I’ve called in the MUTCD marshals, indictments drop Monday
Every one of the street-grade crossings is god’s way of telling us that they oughta be underpasses.
But this School St one, where eastbound trail users are turned away from oncoming School st drivers, is a really defective design that will get someone hurt or worse.
@bikepedantic I remember complaints about this spot when it was still just a design in a public meeting. Engineers claimed they couldn’t put the curb cut in the more obvious place because of something about the bridge. Seems like there must be other creative solutions though.
