This summer, there will be bicycle lanes on Massachusetts Avenue between Albany Street and St. Botolph Street in Boston.
With your support, LivableStreets has worked non stop the past two years to get bicycle accommodations included in the plan. Why is this a big deal? By showing that bike lanes can work on Mass Ave, we've proved they can be made to work just about anywhere else too! Bicycle lanes are one vital piece in a world-class transportation network.
This is a major victory for bicycling in Boston! Thank you Massachusetts Department of Transportation and City of Boston!
City of Boston and Massachusetts Department of Transportation announce Mass Ave bicycle lanes this morning at Mayor Menino's Bike Friday Festival!

We are witnessing a growing wave of interest in walking, bicycling, public transit and livable communities. This weeks big wins are just an example - new secure bike parking at South Station, bike lanes and bike boxes installed on Commonwealth Avenue and approved bicycle lanes on Mass Ave.
Never has there been a better time to show your support.
Join now! The more people that join the livable streets movement, the stronger it will be. Your contributions will be matched 100% by the Alliance for Biking & Walking, and your contribution will go directly to our campaigns for more bicycle, walking, and public transit infrastructure.
