If you’re in North Cambridge, Masala in Teele Square is technically in Somerville but it’s very close to the Camberville border.

The ones right near Porter have already seen some improvements; the segments immediately before and after that should see construction completed by 2026: https://www.cambridgema.gov/Departments/publicworks/cityprojects/2021/massave4massavepartialconstruction

I/2 seems really high based on my experience, is there any source for this? I know people who bike in during the warmer months, and only one that really swaps out their tires for studs and goes all-in in case of ice etc. I see it going from clusters in May and June to just a handful to often none -- though some decide to walk or drive instead. That's anecdotal so I'd be interested in where you're seeing it.

So what's the timeline on redoing the bike lanes near Porter Square?

Yes, it is very seasonal, but even now at rush hour I am usually with a cluster of other cyclists at Inman, comparable in number to how many cars get through each light cycle. When it's very busy and people demonstrate their superlative MA gridlocking skills further east on Hampshire, I'm pretty sure many more bikes than cars get through.

Since there isn't significant bike congestion, usually you just see them briefly riding past, while the cars numbers are very evident as they're waiting in queues.

And then come May, the number of cyclists explodes. Ironic really, as IMO that's the start of the bad season for biking, when it gets too warm. Right now is at the cool end of optimal.

Too bad it’s not with prejudice

Kick rocks, Joan.

“StReEtS fOr AlL” my ass

As someone who lives in this area and bike commutes, a protected bike lane here would be life changing! Very impressed with the thought that went into creating the deck for this project

Very happy about this!

Ride on! 🚴

I rarely commute this way, partly because there are so many other bikes that it honestly gets annoying, but I can confirm that I've been 20th and 21st bicycle in line before at the Hampshire St/Cambridge St light, and I've definitely had 15+ bikes in line with me at other Hampshire St intersections in the morning.

Good news in my opinion and definitely the correct decision.

Almost everybody I’ve played with is in their 20s and 30s, with the occasional university student and OG player who was around during those founding years of DnD. I wouldn’t worry about what you think you look like, we’re just happy to have people who share our love for DnD and tabletop!

Feels like a recaptcha...

Once the age-rage of the players in general? I don't want to look like I am some guy waiting to take his kid home, or something creepier...

I assumed it was because of the location. Anything hear a highly trafficked area and just off the pike is going to be more expensive because of the convenience

I'm on board with having something cool and funky (this or the Citgo sign) that make the skyline unique. It's unfortunate that ours happen to be free advertisements for oil companies though.

About 1/2 as many during the winter, which is still a large amount on this segment. And separated bike lanes will only improve the winter retention.

I walked it this morning heading into Inman due to poor time management, lots of cars but I think I saw one or two bikes go past. Going to stick with scenes like this being pretty seasonal.

Its looks like legit photo take at just the right time, when the head of the queue hits a stop light, but before every one behind them has come to a stop and bunched up.

As a driver on this road id appreciate a protected bike lane, soooo much bike traffic im surprised i havent seen more accidents.

I drive it daily and in the summer and its absolutely this bad.

i drive it every day and even in the winter its pretty busy!
