Separated Bike Lanes/Main Street

The Main Street Safety Improvement Project will add separated bike lanes to Main Street between Massachusetts Avenue and Portland Street. This quick-build project will change the layout of the street with new pavement markings, signs, and flex-posts.

The Main Street Safety Improvement Project will:

• Install separated bike lanes in both directions, adding to the City's network of separated bike lanes.

• Remove a significant number of parking spaces in the project area. This is because separated bike lanes, with the extra buffer area, are wider than the traditional bike lanes there now.

• Improve crossings for people walking.

• Address safety at key intersections

An initial community zoom meeting and two drop in sessions have already taken place. On May 31 the second community zoom meeting will take place followed by 2 additional drop in sessions on June 6 and June 8. The project will start summer 2023.
