Going forward, WalkUP Roslindale will try to keep a current inventory of improvements to our neighborhood’s pedestrian, cycling, and transit infrastructure. Accordingly, as of 26 February 2018, the below is what we’re aware of:
- Flashing Beacon Crosswalks – 3 (complete: Washington/Blue Ledge, Washington/Basile, Washington/South of Ukraine); 3 (partially complete: Centre Street adjacent to the Arboretum)
- Buffered Bike Lanes – 1.3 miles (N/S on American Legion from Cummins to HP Avenue; N on Washington from WR Parkway to Beech)
- Protected Bike Lanes – 3.0 miles (E/W on Blackwell Shared Use Path; Arborway from Arboretum Gate to South Street; Arborway from Orchardhill to Forest Hills Cemetery)
- Speed humps – 0
- Raised crosswalks – 0
- Daylighted Crosswalks – 3 (Washington/Blue Ledge, Belgrade/South, Washington/Basile)
- Bus Priority Facilities – 1 (operational bus/bike lane pilot in December on Washington from Cummins to Ukraine – multi-week pilot expected this spring)
- Hubway Stations – 0 (hopefully some to come later this year)
We welcome any additions/subtractions to this list. Thanks!!
I think it’s accurate to include the new protected bike lane from the Forest Hills Gate of the Arboretum to South Street (1/4 mile?) and the buffered bike lane south of the Arborway from Orchardhill to Forest Hills Cemetary (3/4 mile?). Those are final and painted. Some of the other Casey Arborway facilities are very close… but not quite final.
Good points, Clay. The post has been updated accordingly. We’ll keep an eye out around FH, but do let us know when you see the rest of the bike/ped infra out there completed. Thanks!
