The paths should not be shared use. With E‐bikes, micro mobility, cargo bikes, accessible conveyances, and pedestrians wearing ear buds and not able to hear an approaching bicyclist, there will be crashes if Anne Lusk Brookline MA 02445‐6756 it is shared use due to speed differentials and widths of cargo/Fun2Go/child carrier bikes. 2. Bicyclists should not be on a path beside the traffic while the pedestrians have paths with wide green spaces by the homes, trees, and lawns. Riding beside the sound, mobile source air pollution, and dust from fast moving vehicles is not pleasant or healthy, Also, on a two way path, bicyclists riding with approaching vehicular traffic on their right would not be comfortable. At night, the intense and direct‐beam LED bike lights would be confusing to drivers who would see a beam of light approaching on their right. 3. The bicyclists should be shaded by trees, especially with hot summers, and for 24 hour riding, have continuous lighting directly over the two way bike path. The lighting should not be from the tall cobra head for the road because tree limbs obstruct the light from reaching the bike path, creating light and dark sections on the pathway.

  • Chapter 3—Existing Conditions: Bowker Overpass
    Massachusetts Turnpike Boston Ramps and Bowker Overpass Study December 2015 Chapter 3—Existing Conditions: Bowker Overpass 3.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the analysis of the Bowker Overpass sub-area of the Massachusetts Turnpike — Boston Ramps Study. As in Chapter 2, which discusses the larger study area, this section summarizes existing transportation conditions during a typical workday, emphasizing the peak-commuting hour. This section also reviews crash data and land use conditions. The Transit Data and Environmental Conditions provided in Chapter 2 apply to the Bowker Overpass sub-area of the study. 3.2 TRAFFIC CONDITIONS Developing a base knowledge of current traffic conditions fosters an understanding of where congestion occurs now and where it likely would occur in the future. The first step in calculating traffic congestion requires using current or recent turning- movement and traffic counts. Traffic counts were obtained along the Massachusetts Turnpike between the Allston Tolls and Ted Williams Tunnel, and at specific intersections throughout the study area. The volumes used in this analysis are presented in Section 3.2.1. Section 3.2.2 summarizes system performance. 3.2.1 Existing (2010) Traffic Volumes The Bowker Overpass delineates the Back Bay and Fenway/Kenmore neighborhoods, and runs roughly along the Muddy Brook between the Emerald Necklace/Back Bay Fens and the Charles River Esplanade. It connects Boylston Street and Fenway with Storrow Drive over the Massachusetts Turnpike, Commonwealth Avenue, and Beacon Street (Figure 3-1). The Bowker is also known as the Charlesgate Overpass, as Charlesgate is the name of the roadway that the overpass carries.
